Diodorus Siculus a prolific Greek historian of the first century BC wrote a detailed account of ancient Egypt for his contemporaries Even then Egyptian civilization was ancient stretching back to eras far more remote to him than Greek civilization is to us Egypt was a land of mystery to the Greeks Its pyramids were inexplicable its writings undecipherable its religion unfathomable Its strange laws and stranger customs such as mummification were perplexing The very land itself was mysterious no one knew the source of the Nile or why it overflowed its banks each year with never a drop of rain The history and mysteries of Egypt were the sole subject of the Book I of the Library of History Diodorus encyclopedic attempt to gather all the historical knowledge of the world into one vast book The Antiquities of Egypt is the first translation of Diodorus treatise prepared especially for the general reader but it will appeal to a wide range of scholars and specialists as well The only other English version in print is a literal accompaniment to the edited Greek text published over fifty years ago This new translation is accurate and easy to read while the notes and appendices amplify and elucidate the text setting the narrative in historical and cultural perspective for the nonspecialist The illustrations add a graphic support to the text Students and teachers of ancient history Egyptology archeology and anthropology will find Antiquities of Egypt both accessible and valuable Specialists in literature mythology and comparative religion will find it absorbing and useful introduction to early source material in their fields of study Edwin Murphy is an independent scholar specializing in ancient and medieval history He is employed in the Treasury Department Washington DC Murphy has also translated Book II of Diodorus Library of History The Antiquities of Asia also published by Transaction

In Diodorus Siculus and the World of the Late Roman Republic Charles E Muntz offers a fresh look at one of the most neglected historians of the ancient world and recovers Diodoruss originality and importance as a witness to a profoundly tumultuous period in antiquity Muntz analyzes the first three books of Diodoruss Bibliotheke historike some of the most varied and eclectic material in his work in which Diodorus reveals through the history myths and customs of the barbarians the secrets of successful states and rulers and contributes to the debates surrounding the transition from Republic to Empire Muntz establishes just how linked the barbarians of the Bibliotheke are to the actors of the crumbling Republic and demonstrates that through the medium of the ancient Egyptians Assyrians Indians and others Diodorus engages with the major issues and intellectual disputes of his time including the origins of civilization the propriety of rulercult the benefits of monarchy and the relationship between myth and history Diodorus has many similarities with other authors writing on these topics including Cicero Lucretius Varro Sallust and Livy but as Muntz argues engaging with such controversial issues even indirectly could be especially dangerous for a Greek provincial such as Diodorus Indeed for these reasons he may never have completed or fully published the Bibliotheke in his lifetime Through his careful and precise investigations Muntz demonstrates Diodoruss historical context at its full size and scope

This edition one of the BCP Classics Companion Series provides a translation and detailed commentary of the Greek and Macedonian narrative of Diodorus Book XVI An outstanding general statesman and diplomat Philip II inherited a kingdom near collapse and transformed it into the greatest power in the Mediterranean world But for all its significance his reign is badly served by the surviving writers of Greek literature The loss of the major contemporary historians has left us dependent for our knowledge on the speeches of the Attic orators especially the hostile Demosthenes and on the 16th Book of Diodorus Siculus who though he lived some 300 years later has bequeathed the only detailed account of Philips reign in Macedonia and the Greek mainland
