The book explores the migration of miniatures attributed to Apollodorus into various texts, particularly highlighting their influence on the commentary of Pseudo-Nonnus linked to Gregory of Nazianzus's homilies and the Cynegetka of Pseudo-Oppian. Kurt Weitzmann provides a detailed analysis of these connections, revealing how these miniatures shaped the interpretation and presentation of classical themes in subsequent literary works.
