The Geography of Strabo is the only surviving work of its type in
Greek literature, and the major source for the history of Greek
scholarship on geography and the formative processes of the earth.
In addition, this lengthy and complex work contains a vast amount
of information on other topics, including the journey of Alexander
the Great, cultic history, the history of the eastern Mediterranean
in the first century BC, and women's history. Modern knowledge of
seminal geographical authors such as Eratosthenes and Hipparchos
relies almost totally on Strabo's use of them. This is the first
complete English translation in nearly a century, and the first to
make use of recent scholarship on the Greek text itself and on the
history of geography. The translation is supplemented by a detailed
discussion of Strabo's life and his purpose in writing the
Geography, as well as the sources that he used.
