Diodorus Siculus, Books 11-12.37.1; by Peter Green. 1st edition HB, 8 maps, NEW

Description: Diodorus Siculus: Books 11-12.37.1; Translated, with Introduction and Commentary, by Peter Green. First Edition, now out of print. Brand new; still in shrinkwrap. Comprises 336 pp with 8 maps. 'Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus (ca. 100-30 BCE) is our only surviving source for a continuous narrative of Greek history from Xerxes' invasion to the Wars of the Successors following the death of Alexander the Great. Yet this important historian has been consistently denigrated as a mere copyist who slavishly reproduced the works of earlier historians without understanding what he was writing. By contrast, in this iconoclastic work Peter Green builds a convincing case for Diodorus' merits as a historian. Through a fresh English translation of a key portion of his multi-volume history (the so-called Bibliotheke, or "Library") and a commentary and notes that refute earlier assessments of Diodorus, Green offers a fairer, better balanced estimate of this much-maligned historian.'
