"A collection of the thirty-six most important but less well-known Greek geographical
texts in new translations, many of them never before published in English, with up-to-date
introductions and notes. This volume will promote a better understanding of the whole
of ancient Geography from early Greece to the late Roman period" ; Ancient Greek geographical
writing is represented not just by the surviving works of the well-known authors Strabo,
Pausanias, and Ptolemy, but also by many other texts dating from the Archaic to the
Late Antique period. Most of these texts are, however, hard for non-specialists to
find, and many have never been translated into English. This volume, the work of an
international team of experts, presents the most important thirty-six texts in new,
accurate translations. In addition, there are explanatory notes and authoritative
introductions to each text, which offer a new understanding of the individual writings
and demonstrate their importance: no longer marginal, but in the mainstream of Greek
literature and science. The book includes twenty-eight newly drawn maps, images of
the medieval manuscripts in which most of these works survive, and a full Introduction
providing a comprehensive survey of the field of Greek and Roman geography
