520    By the Roman age the traditional stories of Greek myth had
       long since ceased to reflect popular culture. Mythology 
       had become instead a central element in elite culture. If 
       one did not know the stories one would not understand most
       of the allusions in the poets and orators, classics and 
       contemporaries alike; nor would one be able to identify 
       the scenes represented on the mosaic floors and wall 
       paintings in your cultivated friends' houses, or on the 
       silverware on their tables at dinner. Mythology was no 
       longer imbibed in the nursery; nor could it be simply 
       picked up from the often oblique allusions in the 
       classics. It had to be learned in school, as illustrated 
       by the extraordinary amount of elementary mythological 
       information in the many surviving ancient commentaries on 
       the classics, notably Servius, who offers a mythical story
       for almost every person, place, and even plant Vergil 
       mentions. Commentators used the classics as pegs on which 
       to hang stories they thought their students should know. A
       surprisingly large number of mythographic treatises 
       survive from the early empire, and many papyrus fragments 
       from lost works prove that they were in common use.; In 
       addition, author Alan Cameron identifies a hitherto 
       unrecognized type of aid to the reading of Greek and Latin
       classical and classicizing texts-what might be called 
       mythographic companions to learned poets such as Aratus, 
       Callimachus, Vergil, and Ovid, complete with source 
       references. Much of this book is devoted to an analysis of
       the importance evidently attached to citing classical 
       sources for mythical stories, the clearest proof that they
       were now a part of learned culture. So central were these 
       source references that the more unscrupulous faked them, 
       sometimes on the grand scale.
