Antoninus Liberalis
Antoninus Liberalis was a Greek writer and mythographer in the 2nd century AD, probably a freedman of the Emperor Antoninus Pius .
The only remaining of it, we is surviving work from his 41 transformation Say existing collection of Metamorphoses ( Μεταμορφώσεων συναγωγή ) that it mostly substantive material from older, now lost sources (about Nicander and Boios borrowed). This bridge makes his work extremely important for today's research.
