Este ejemplar es indispensable para completar nuestros conocimientos sobre mitología griega, si bien, estos autores tenían cierta libertad para introducir variaciones en los mitos clásicos. Además también nos presentan usos, costumbres, leyes, dichos y nos esbozan ambientes políticos o filosóficos, en especial, Eurípides.
