Compendium de Graecae theologiae traditionibus

About this book

Cornutus was a Roman philosopher who wrote this compendium on the Greek gods in Greek language in the first century A.D. He wanted to teach the basics of Stoic philosophy to an unknown Roman boy using this mythological work by etymologizing and allegorizing the gods' names and epithets. This is the first critical edition of the compendium since 1881.
