Geography : Books I-II

Informationen zum Autor Horace Leonard Jones (1879–1954) was Professor of Greek at Cornell University. Klappentext More scholar and armchair voyager than actual adventurer (though he claimed he traveled widely--from the Black Sea to Ethiopia! Armenia to Etruria)! Strabo! antiquity's great geographer! left us this extraordinary storehouse of travel lore. Books 3 to 7 report on Italy and northern Europe; 8 to 10 describe Greece and its mythology; 11 to 14 visit Armenia and Asia Minor; 15 and 16 tour India! Persia! Mesopotamia! Palestine! and Arabia; and 17 explores Egypt! Ethiopia! and North Africa. Zusammenfassung In his seventeen-book Geography, Strabo (ca. 64 BC–ca. AD 25) discusses geographical method, stresses the value of geography, and draws attention to the physical, political, and historical details of separate regions. Geography is a vital source for ancient geography and informative about ancient geographers.
