The Bibliotheca ( Bibliothēkē, "Library"), also known as the Bibliotheca of Pseudo-Apollodorus, is a compendium of Greek myths and heroic legends, arranged in three books, generally dated to the first or second century AD.
The author was traditionally thought to be Apollodorus of Athens, but that attribution is now regarded as false, and so " Pseudo-" was added to Apollodorus
The Bibliotheca has been called "the most valuable mythographical work that has come down from ancient times". An epigram recorded by the important intellectual Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople expressed its purpose:
It has the following not ungraceful epigram: 'Draw your knowledge of the past from me and read the ancient tales of learned lore. Look neither at the page of Homer, nor of elegy, nor tragic muse, nor epic strain. Seek not the vaunted verse of the cycle; but look in me and you will find in me all that the world contains'.
The brief and unadorned accounts of myth in the Bibliotheca have led some commentators to suggest that even its complete sections are an epitome of a lost work.
Bibliotheca may refer to:
- Bibliotheca (Bible), a 2014 version of the Bible without chapter and verse numbers
- Bibliotheca (Photius), a 9th-century work of Byzantine Patriarch Photius
- Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus), a grand summary of traditional Greek mythology and heroic legends
- Bibliotheca historica, a first century BC work of universal history by Diodorus Siculus
The Bibliotheca or Myriobiblos (Μυριόβιβλος, "Ten Thousand Books") was a ninth-century work of Byzantine Patriarch of Constantinople Photius, dedicated to his brother and composed of 279 reviews of books which he had read.
Bibliotheca is a four-volume version of the Bible to be published in 2016. It omits verse and chapter numbers in order to enhance the reading experience. It uses the American Standard Version translation with some modifications, but resembles the ESV Readers' Bible, published by Crossway just one month earlier, which does not have verse numbers but does have chapter numbers and is one volume.
Bibliotheca is able to use opaque paper rather than Bible paper, because it is four volumes. It was funded through a Kickstarter campaign which raised over $1.4 million.
