It was first published in Venice in 1567 soon and became a standard source for classical mythology in later Renaissance Europe. It became published in numerous edition and translated into several different language.

“Conti’s Mythologiae is remarkable for its combination of intense attention to classical sources and allegorizing interpretations of those myths. Conti is not content with a bald summary of any individual myth or figure before interpreting it; he labors over and scrutinizes the multiple sources and variants from antiquity. The discussion of Cerberus (3.5 = pp. 170-173), for example, employs Hesiod, Vergil, Horace, Tibullus, Sophocles, Cicero, Isaacius (= Tzetzes), Apollodorus, Pausanias, Hecataeus (apud Pausanias), Strabo, Lucretius, and Plutarch before moving into allegorical interpretations.” (ohn Mulryan, Steven Brown, Natale Conti's Mythologiae. 2 Volumes.
