The basics translated: A good solid, word for word translation of Apollodorus's collection of classical myths. Frazer's references to other similar tales is a great resource for folklorists and classics, both advanced and beginning scholars. The dry, simple text reflects the economy of the original well.
Good solid translation, too.: Frazer was one of the great scholars of mythology and his translations and research has laid the foundations in the field of classical mythology. His addition to the Loeb Library is an excellent word for word translation supplemented with references to related tales from other lands. A great reference for both the classicist and the folklorist.
