A formal classification is proposed, following two criteria: the function of the mythographical scholia in relation to the main poetic text they comment on (scholia can provide additional information to the main text, an explanation, or a comparison) and the structure or mode of the scholia (they can be narratives, Zittatennester, or lists). The chapter first describes the origin of scholiastic corpora and the relationship between mythography and scholia, and then discusses each corpus of scholia separately.engMythographyMythScholiaScholarshipExegesisTextual transmissionHomeric scholarshipPindarApollonius RhodiusEuripidesbook parthttps://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190648312.013.19
