Strabo's Geography, completed in the early first century AD, is the
primary source for the history of Greek geography. This Guide
provides the first English analysis of and commentary on this long
and difficult text, and serves as a companion to the author's The
Geography of Strabo, the first English translation of the work in
many years. It thoroughly analyzes each of the seventeen books and
provides perhaps the most thorough bibliography as yet created for
Strabo's work. Careful attention is paid to the historical and
cultural data, the thousands of toponyms, and the many lost
historical sources that are preserved only in the Geography. This
volume guides readers through the challenges and complexities of
the text, allowing an enhanced understanding of the numerous topics
that Strabo covers, from the travels of Alexander and the history
of the Mediterranean to science, religion, and cult.
