‘The most important works of criticism, of which little has survived, were by Dionysus of Helicarnassus and the obscure Longinus. Longinus’ treatise On the Sublime* (c[irca]AD40[CE] is exceptional in its penetrating analysis** of creative literature. The Bibliotheca attributed to Apollodorus (c[irca]180BC[E]) is a handy compendium*** of mythology.
