Sull'Autore

Nota di disambiguazione:

(ger) There are differen Apollodoros' - the Mythologist, the Orator and others.

(eng) Some surviving manuscripts of the "Bibliotheca" give the author's name as Apollodorus, and scholars from Photius onwards have mistakenly identified this work with Apollodorus of Athens (born circa 180 BCE). However, since the "Bibliotheca" cites a Roman author, Castor the Annalist, of the 1st century BCE, the text could not have been written by Apollodorus of Athens. The author, therefore, is sometimes referred to as either Pseudo-Apollodorus or Scriptor Bibliothecae. There do not seem to be any works on LT by Apollodrus of Athens at this time.

Basically, I woke up one day and decided that I wanted to read about Greek mythology. I figured I would give these volumes a try, since they seem to be a no-nonsense re-telling of the whole of Greek mythology.

According this edition's translator, J. G. Frazer, this text was originally attributed to Apollodorus of Athens, who was born around 180 B.C., but the text was actually written by someone else during the first or second century A.D. This edition is heavily annotated, and you get the original Greek text and English translation side-by-side. Even if, like me, you can't read ancient Greek, it still looks cool, and makes you look smart when people see you reading it.

BIBLIOTECA DE APOLODORO
Apolodoro de Atenas es para nosotros un perfecto desconocido, pero le debemos este tratado de mitografía, probablemente compuesto en el siglo I o II d.C., que constituye una útil y esclarecedora catalogación de una gran cantidad de material legendario.

En la elaboración del compendio el autor muestra su exhaustivo conocimiento de la tradición literaria que trasmitió el repertorio mítico. No tiene pretensiones estilísticas, pruritos filosóficos ni afectaciones poéticas, sino que con buena y transparente prosa se aplica a narrar las vicisitudes de dioses y héroes, con sus genealogías; los nombres se suceden y entrelazan en un entramado de mitos que transmite una visión arcaica del mundo divino y humano.

Se trata de una rigurosa obra de erudición sobre un material que, por su lejanía en el tiempo, ha dejado de formar parte de las creencias y la religión, para integrarse en el bagaje cultural y en una herencia ya literaria. Escrita con notable precisión didáctica, la Biblioteca es un excelente manual de mitología.
Traducción y notas de M. Rodríguez de Sepúlveda.
