THE GEOGRAPHY OF STRABO Translated by D U A N E W. An historian and archaeologist, he is the author of ten books, most recently Cleopatra: A Biography (2010) and Eratosthenes' Geography (2010), and over a hundred and fifty scholarly articles on topics in archaeology, ancient history, classical studies, and musicol oga. He has also excavated in Greece, Italy, Turkey, Jordan, and Israel. ROLLER is Professor Emeritus of Classics at the Ohio State University. 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 рифове in writing the Geography, as well as the sources that he used. 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 вс, and women's history.
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. An English Translation, with Introduction and Notes D U A N E W.
