A German scholar of Greek mythology, Karl Otfried Muller (1797-1840), made important contributions to the study of ancient Greece. He believed in using all available sources, including art and architecture, to form an understanding of Greek life as a whole. His work represented a turning point in the development of Hellenistic studies, seeking to relate classical civilisation to the present, and creating a new conception of Hellenism. Fragmenta was part of a larger series, Scriptorum Graecorum Bibliotheca, which Muller produced in partnership with the Parisian printer-publisher Ambroise Firmin-Didot. It covers histories which have been lost, but of which fragments survive in other works. Volume 3, published in Paris in 1849, contains the surviving fragments of works from 247 BCE, the beginning of the reign of Ptolemy III, pharaoh of Egypt, until the final conquest of the Greek territories by the Romans in 146 BCE.
