Diodoros von Sizilien war ein griechischer Historiker, der für seine monumentale Universalgeschichte, die "Historische Bibliothek", bekannt ist. Er anerkannte sein Werk als Zusammenstellung und sammelte sorgfältig Informationen aus zahlreichen Quellen. Seine Erzählung bietet wertvolle geografische Einblicke in die Kulturen des alten Ägypten, Mesopotamiens, Indiens, Skytiens, Arabiens, Nordafrikas, Griechenlands und Europas. Insbesondere seine lebendige Schilderung des Goldbergbaus in Nubien liefert einen der frühesten erhaltenen Texte zu diesem Thema und schildert die rauen Realitäten der Sklavenarbeit unter schrecklichen Bedingungen.

Lange Zeit wurde das universelle Geschichtswerk des Diodoros als reine, nachrangige Kompilation bedeutenderer Historiker betrachtet. Doch es gelingt Diodorosin seiner Historischen Bibliothek, eine zwar gelegentlich lückenhafte - wie soll es angesichts des ungeheuren Anspruchs auch anders sein? -, aber umfassende und vielfach interessante, geschichtsphilosophisch inspirierte Deutung der antiken Welt und der großen historischen Prozesse des Altertums. Ein zusätzlicher Wert des Werkes liegt darin, dass es Auszüge sonst verlorener Werke bewahrt, darunter ethnographische Angaben aus Poseidonios und historiographische Passagen aus Timaios und anderen Historikern. Der Band präsentiert alle erhaltenen Teile von Diodoros Historischer Bibliothek.
