We possess a work under his name, entitled , and consisting of forty-one tales about mythical metamorphoses. With the exception of nine tales, he always mentions the sources from which he took his accounts. Since most of the works referred to by him are now lost, his book is of some importance for the study of Greek mythology, but in regard to composition and style it is of no value. There are but very few MSS. of this work, and the chief ones are that at Heidelberg and the one in Paris.
