 INTRODUCTION
General Introduction
With but one exception antiquity affords no
further information on the life and work of Diodorus
of Sicily than is to be found in his own Library of
History. The exception is St. Jerome, who, in his
Chronology under the Year of Abraham 1968
(= 49 b.c.), writes : Diodorus of Sicily, a writer of
Greek history, became illustrious. 1
Diodorus himself says (1. 4. 4) that the city of his
birth was Agyrium in Sicily, one of the oldest settle-
ments of the interior, which was visited even by
Heracles (4. 24), whose cult was maintained by the
inhabitants on a scale rivalling that of the Olympians,
and this statement is rendered plausible by the
importance accorded the city in his History, an
importance quite out of proportion in a World History
of only forty Books. 2 It is a striking coincidence
that one of the only two Greek inscriptions from
Agyrium (7G. XIV, 588) marked the final resting-
place of a Diodorus the son of Apollonius.
The earliest date at which Diodorus is known to
1
Diodorus Siculus Oraecae scriptor historiae clarus habetur
(p. 155, i, ed. Helm). This date must mark the first appear-
ance of a portion of his History.
At that he is more reserved in this respect than Ephorus,
who, according to Strabo (13. 3.
6), was so insistent on men-
tioning the city of his origin. Cyme, that he once added.
At the same time the Cymaeans were at peace.
