Apollodorus Bücher

In dieser faszinierenden Zusammenschau der griechischen Mythologie stellt Apollodor den griechischen Mythos von der Schöpfung der Welt bis hin zu den Taten der Heroen in einen erzählerischen Zusammenhang und reichert ihn durch Varianten an, die aus zahllosen und für uns heute verlorenen Werken der Poesie und Prosa stammen. Zudem ist dieses Werk von großer Bedeutung für die Religionswissenschaft.

Bibliothek des Apollodors ist ein unveränderter, hochwertiger Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1768. Hansebooks ist Herausgeber von Literatur zu unterschiedlichen Themengebieten wie Forschung und Wissenschaft, Reisen und Expeditionen, Kochen und Ernährung, Medizin und weiteren Genres. Der Schwerpunkt des Verlages liegt auf dem Erhalt historischer Literatur. Viele Werke historischer Schriftsteller und Wissenschaftler sind heute nur noch als Antiquitäten erhältlich. Hansebooks verlegt diese Bücher neu und trägt damit zum Erhalt selten gewordener Literatur und historischem Wissen auch für die Zukunft bei.

As a facsimile reprint of a scarce antiquarian work, this book preserves the original text while acknowledging its imperfections from age, such as marks and notations. It emphasizes the cultural significance of the work, reflecting a commitment to protect and promote literature. This edition aims to provide an accessible, high-quality version that remains true to the original, appealing to both collectors and those interested in historical texts.

Contains the English translations of Apollodorus' Library and Hyginus' Fabulae - the two important surviving 'handbooks' of classical mythography. This work discusses the issues of authorship, aim, and influence. It also includes an index of people and geographic locations, and an index of authors and works cited by the mythographers.

Attributed to Apollodorus of Athens (born c. 180 BCE), but probably composed in the first or second century BCE, the Library provides a grand summary of Greek myths and heroic legends about the origin and early history of the world and of the Hellenic people.

This volume is a collection of Greek myths and legends, including stories of the Olympian gods, heroes like Hercules and Perseus, and the Trojan War. These ancient tales continue to captivate readers with their timeless themes of love, heroism, and divine intervention.

Apollodorus of Damascus is the best-known architektôn of the early second century AD, the era of Trajan and Hadrian. In the civil domain he is credited with planning and constructing prestigious projects in Rome itself, including Trajan's Forum and Baths; in the military sphere he bridged the Danube and wrote a Siege-matters treatise for his patron-emperor. Addressed (it is argued here) to Trajan rather than Hadrian, and with a view to the campaigning conditions anticipated in Dacia, the treatise therefore proffered suggestions and designs suitable for a Roman army operating in that rugged terrain and attacking its hill-top settlements. However, as P. H. Blyth first realised, what has been transmitted under Apollodorus' name includes many later elaborations, armchair-fantasy inventions which, if ever built, could never have been effective. This, the work's first English translation and the first full commentary on it in any language, gives modern readers criteria for differentiating between these two disparate categories of material, thus allowing an assessment of each component in the terms appropriate to it.
