 | | Since Diodorus was in Egypt, we should also give credibility to his account on Egyptian geography. | | | Although this part of the book is mostly mythological, it can provide us with valuable information about the mythology and history of these ancient nations: the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians and Medes. |

| | Diodorus Siculus - Best of Sicily Magazine |
| | The problem, as we have implied, is that Diodorus does not always differentiate historical events from historical legend, even though some historians of his era managed to do so. | | | It's one thing to repeat that the mythical hero Heracles (Hercules) visited your hometown (Agyrium was east of Enna toward Mount Etna), but quite another to attribute actual events to people who could not possibly have been present to participate in them. | | | Certain passages of Diodorus' "missing" books are cited by other authors, such as Photius. |

| | In his writings, Diodorus is clear that the ancient Macedonians were a distinct nation, not related to any of the Balkan peoples (Greeks, Thracians, and Illyrians). | | | The ancient Greek historian Diodorus wrote much of the history of Macedonia from the times of Philip II and Alexander the Great up to the last Macedonian king Perseus. |

| | Modern critics have called this claim into question, noting several surprising mistakes that an eye-witness would not be expected to have made. | | | Diodorus asserts that he devoted thirty years to the composition of his history, and that he undertook a number of dangerous journeys through Europe and Asia in prosecution of his historical researches. | | | Far more sympathetic is the estimate of C.H. Oldfather, who wrote in the introduction to his translation of Diodorus: |

| | It has been aptly said that a history of that island would be impossible without Diodorus. | | | Of Diodorus himself we know little except for what we can glean from this work, which he claims was 30 years in the making. | | | Diodorus was summarized by PHOTIUS (Codex 70) whose praise is particularly effusive, complimenting Diodorus' clear and unaffected style as well as his historical acumen.Another index of Diodorus' later popularity is the note in SUDA that Diodorus lived past the reign of Augustus, which possibly indicates a post-mortem continuation of his work. |

| | This raises the question of how far successive scholars have actually read the authors they castigate, and how far they have simply taken over, unexamined, the charges leveled by their predecessors. | | | A "mindless scribbler" (who must also, apparently, be a congenital liar) can be disregarded whenever his evidence conflicts with that of a blue-riband early source. | | | This means that all the historical problems in his text that have for long been side-stepped on the grounds that his evidence is that of a virtual mental defective, and thus can always be disregarded when inconvenient, are back on the table for discussion. |

| | Despite his claim to cover all of known history, Diodorus concentrates on Greece and his homeland of Sicily, until the First Punic War (i.e. | | | Roman war against Carthage), when his sources for Rome become fuller. | | | Diodorus Siculus, of Agyrium, Sicily (hence ‘Siculus’), is the author of the Bibliothēkē (‘Library’), a universal history from mythological times to 60 BC. |

| | Viewed as a unified work reflecting the intellectual and political beliefs of the late Hellenistic period, the Bibliotheke will become an important source for interpreting first-century moral, political, and intellectual values. | | | Throughout, Diodorus introduced his own ideas or refashioned those found in his sources. | | | Whereas Diodorus himself has been commonly seen as a "mere copyist" of earlier historical traditions, Kenneth Sacks explores the complexity of his work to reveal a historian with a distinct point of view indicative of his times. |

| | The quality of his sources varies, and his use of them is often inaccurate. | | | This makes Diodorus' chronology difficult to use, even when (as is most often the case) it is by his own standards correct. | | | The work is a compilation, normally epitomizing one earlier historian at a time, with insertions from Diodorus' other readings and moral reflections of his own, and changing over to another history where the previous one runs out. |

| | Strabo mentions only one thing from which they augured future events, namely, "the palpitation" of the victim; Diodorus adds two other particulars, namely, "his mode of falling" and "the flowing of the blood." There is no allusion to these matters in the Bardic traditions. | | | According to the declaration of Diodorus, the common people regarded the Druids as mediators between themselves and the gods, and grounded their competency and fitness for that purpose upon the fact that they were acquainted with the divine nature, and used the same language. | | | Whilst Strabo gives the same names as those used by the Cymry, that is, Bards, Ovates, and Druids, Diodorus calls them Bards, Soothsayers, and Druids, making a soothsayer and an ovate to be of the same import, and both are of opinion that this functionary had to do with the act of sacrificing. |

| | In his masterful introductory essay, Green demolishes the traditional view of Diodorus and argues for a thorough critical reappraisal of this synthesizing historian, who attempted nothing less than a "universal history" that begins with the gods of mythology and continues down to the eve of Julius Caesar's Gallic campaigns. | | | 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. | | | Green, Diodorus Siculus, Books 11-12.37.1, University of Texas Press |
