Diodorus Siculus or Diodorus of Sicily Diódoros; 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 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. Diodorus' universal history which he named Bibliotheca historica "Historical Library" was immense and consisted of 40 books of which 15 and 1120 survive: 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 IVI 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 IVVI. The next section books VIIXVII 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 Hieronymus of Cardia Duris of Samos Diyllus Philistus Timaeus Polybius and Posidonius.
