19th century fresco born fl 1st century bc agira sicily writing career language ancient greek genre history notable work bibliotheca historica diodorus siculus or diodorus of sicily ancient greek διόδωρος romanized diódōros fl 1st century bc was an ancient greek historian from sicily he is known for writing the monumental universal history bibliotheca historica in forty books fifteen of which survive intact 1 between 60 and 30 bc the history is arranged in three parts the first covers mythic history up to the destruction of troy arranged geographically describing regions around the world from egypt india and arabia to europe the second covers the time from the trojan war to the death of alexander the great the third covers the period to about 60 bc bibliotheca meaning library acknowledges that he was drawing on the work of many other authors life edit according to his own work he was born in agyrium in sicily now called agira 2 with one exception antiquity affords no further information about his life and doings beyond his written works only jerome in his chronicon under the year of abraham 1968 49 bc writes diodorus of sicily a writer of greek history became illustrious however his english translator charles henry oldfather remarks on the striking coincidence 3 that one of only two known greek inscriptions from agyrium inscriptiones graecae xiv 588 is the tombstone of one diodorus the son of apollonius διόδωρος ἀπολλωνίου 4 5 the final work attributed to him is from 21 bc 6 work edit main article bibliotheca historica bibliotheca historica 1746 diodorus s universal history which he named bibliotheca historica ancient greek βιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική historical library was immense and consisted of 40 books of which 1 5 and 11 20 survive 7 fragments of the lost books are preserved in photius and the excerpts of constantine porphyrogenitus it was divided into three sections the first section books i vi deals with the mythic history of the non hellenic and hellenic tribes up to the destruction of troy and is geographical in theme describing the history and culture of ancient egypt book i of mesopotamia india scythia and arabia ii of north africa iii and of greece and europe iv vi the next section books vii xvii recounts the history of the world from the trojan war down to the death of alexander the great the last section books xvii to the end concerns the historical events from the successors of alexander down to either 60 bc or the beginning of julius caesar s gallic wars the end has been lost so it is unclear whether diodorus reached the beginning of the gallic war as he promises at the beginning of his work or as evidence suggests old and tired from his labours he stopped short at 60 bc diodorus selected the name bibliotheca in acknowledgment that he was assembling a composite work from many sources identified authors on whose works he drew include hecataeus of abdera ctesias of cnidus ephorus theopompus
