Fragments of the remaining books also survive. Although considered an uncritical compiler, Diodorus relied on reputable sources and reproduced them faithfully. His work is valuable for preserving details not recorded elsewhere and providing evidence for previously lost works, notably those by Ephorus, Apollodorus, Agatharchides, Philistus, and Timaeus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Loeb Classical Library edition of Diodorus Siculus spans twelve volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995475656940,"sku":"9780674994287","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674994287-library-of-history-volume-vii.jpg?v=1784896490","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/library-of-history-volume-vii-by-diodorus-siculus-9780674994287","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
