	Diodorus Siculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diodorus Siculus was a Greek historian, born at Agyrium in Sicily (now called Agira, in the Province of Enna).
		The latest event Diodorus mentions is Octavian's vengeance on the city of Tauromenium, whose refusal to help him led to Octavian's naval defeat nearby in 36 BC (16.7).
		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.

	Diodorus of Tarsus
		Diodorus rejected the allegorical interpretation of the Alexandrians, and adhered to the literal sense.
		It seems certain that Diodorus went too far in his opposition to (the younger) Apollinarius of Laodicea, according to whom the rational soul in Christ was supplied by the Logos.
		Diodorus, in emphasizing the completeness of the Sacred Humanity, appears to have asserted two hypostases, not necessarily in a heretical sense.

	Argonauts
		Diodorus explained this was the reason for Aeëtes' cruelty to foreigners, and why all foreigners captured on their soil, are sacrificed to prevent his fate from coming to pass.
		Diodorus' version of the adventures of the Argonauts can be found in Book 4, in 40-49, while he related to Pelias' death after the Argonauts returned to Iolcus and Medea's later life, from 50-56 of Book 4.
		In Diodorus' version, however, it was not a flying ram of gold that had the children of Athamas, but Phrixus and Helle escaped on a ship, which the bow of the ship have an image of a ram's head.

	Dialectical School
		Diodorus Cronus’ five daughters Menexene, Argeia, Theognis, Artemisia and Pantacleia are all said to have been logicians, and thus may have belonged to the school.
		The fact that Philo's modal accounts — and those of Diodorus and the Stoics — satisfy these four requirements is of course no proof that the ancients consciously reflected upon all of them or regarded them all as principles with which their modal theories had to comply.
		Diodorus’ definition of that which is possible can be split into two distinct claims: first that everything that either is or will be true is possible, and second, that everything that is possible either is or will be true.

	Bosworth: In Search of Cleitarchus
		Diodorus is the branch of the common tradition most susceptible to source criticism, and his use of sources elsewhere can be examined.
		In the first case Diodorus can be seen as providing an outline of the "Vulgate" tradition, and he is the primary tool for its identification; in the second we are at sea, and the identification of the common tradition becomes a highly complex and subjective business.
		It is possible to take both Diodorus and Curtius as resumes of an extended account which first explained the debate over strategy which earned Charidemus the enmity of the Persian generals and then moved on to the calumnies which occasioned Charidemus' belittling of Persian courage and his summary execution.

	Diodorus of Sicily
		Diodorus also mentions that in his days, the Macedonians were still rulers of Egypt, which suggests that he published his work shortly before 30, when Octavian defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra, the last Ptolemaic queen, and conquered the ancient country along the Nile.
		Diodorus' World history was, in his own words, "an immense work" that consisted of forty books, of which 1-5 and 11-20 survive completely.
		In other words, Diodorus is like any other wealthy Greek or Roman: he accepted his responsibility for his community, and although he never occupied an office and is not known to have donated a nice building to his hometown, he gave his fellow-man something important.

		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.
		That Diodorus' work itself has preserved the earlier writings of several historians is important.
		Diodorus remains the most famous Sicilian historian of the classical age.

		Tuplin or Gray, who, however, attributes errors and falsifications to Diodorus and not his source), their work is superseded by the exhaustive analysis of B. Nevertheless, B.'s Xenophon at times seems to stand in too bright a light as opposed to the garbled accounts found in Diodorus.
		Again, Diodorus, stressing the crucial importance of the victory at Kyzikos, is discounted in favour of Xenophon, even if the latter does not mention the Spartan peace offer of 410 (which, together with all other attested offers, B. accepts as historical on pp.

	Diodorus Siculus-Encyclopedia Entry
		Diodorus provides our only continuous narrative of the history of 4th century Greece, including Book 16, which is devoted entirely to PHILIP II of Macedon.
		Diodorus was not always successful at synchronizing the Roman calendar with the Athenian one, and his work suffers from the embarrassing lapses one would expect from such a vast, self-published encyclopedia.
		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.

	History of garden design in Western Asia, Assyria and Babylon
		Diodorus Siculus, whose account of Babylon is founded on Ctesias and Clitarchus, says emphatically that they were not due to her, but to an Assyrian king, who devised them for one of the palace ladies who came from Persia as a reminder of her old home.
		One fact seems to be pretty sure, and that is that the two historians, Strabo and Diodorus, are drawing their information from different sources, and this seems to make good the assumption that the custom of having hanging gardens was general and widespread.
		Diodorus says that terraces like steps ascend from this floor, and get smaller as they get higher, “like a theatre,” but that the way round the circumference is in the open air.

		DIODORUS SICULUS, Greek historian from Agyrium in Sicily, hence called Siculus (the Sicilian).
		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.
		This makes Diodorus' chronology difficult to use, even when (as is most often the case) it is by his own standards correct.

		Diodorus says that Poseidon had made Pasiphae fall in love with the bull because Minos had excluded the fine white bull from the annual sacrifices to the sea god and substituted an inferior beast.
		Apollodorus and Diodorus agree that Daedalus had assisted Pasiphae in her bizarre affection by fashioning a wooden frame disguised as a cow so that Pasiphae might couple with the bull.

		Comment: Diodorus' history of Alexander is quite enjoyable, and has several points that the other 'primary' sources do not.
		This refusal to respond emotionally to the events he describes, events which involved his own native island, is both a strength and a weakness of Diodorus.
		In the side margin of each page there is a date so that the chronology is always clear, and any omissions by Diodorus are effectively dealt with by excellent footnotes which cross reference with other historical sources.

		According to Diodorus' account of the election of kings in Meroë the priests used to choose first "the best of their number" and then one of those became the ruler of the country.
		The author believes that due to the indiscriminate use of reflexive and attributive pronouns in later Greek, in general, and in that of Diodorus, in particular, the form αύτων might stand for αύτων, so very similar to the former and serving as attribute to the implied noun "Ethiopians" used in preceding sentence of Diodorus' story.
