Their appearance here seemed a logical nextstep after we had already produced translations ofthe bulk of these two authors for the Anthology of Classical Myth (2004).That book was designed to bring as many interesting primary sources before new audiences as possible; this one is designed to make two of the most important of those sources even more accessible by providing up-to-date and high-quality translations in an inexpensive volume. The Bibliotheke (Library) and Fabulae (Myths) ought to be read more widely both by those with a general interest in the subject and students approaching it in an academic environment. The only other English translation of Hyginus’ Fabulae, that of Grant (1960), has some flaws and is out of print; that was our primary impetus. Apollodorus’ Bibliotheke, though already published in several translations, seemed a natural partner.  \nIn our English translations we have aimed above all at accuracy and clarity, although “accuracy” and “clarity” must be qualified. In some places there are serious questions as to what the Greek and Latin of Apollodorus and Hyginus mean or imply, but we hope that we have not intentionally rendered anything perfectly intelligible into gibberish or made our authors say things they never wrote. Neither of the works in question is of interest for its literary qualities, and we have not attempted to transform them
