    A lively new translation of Strabo's complete Geography--an encyclopedic guide to the ancient world of the first century CE--connecting it with the world of the twenty-first century Strabo's Geography is an encyclopedic description of the ancient world as it appeared to a contemporary observer in the early Roman Empire. Information about taming elephants, collecting saffron, producing asphalt, and practicing yoga is found alongside accounts of prostitution, volcanic activity, religious festivals, and obscure eastern dynasties--all set against the shifting backdrop of political power in the first century CE. Traveling around the Mediterranean, Strabo gathered knowledge of places and people, supplementing his first-hand experiences with an immense amount of reading to create a sweeping chronicle that attempts to answer the implicit questions "Who are we?" and "Where do we come from?" Sarah Pothecary's new translation of Strabo's complete Geography makes this important work more accessible, relevant, and enjoyable than ever before. Conveying the informal, lively, and almost journalistic style of Strabo's Greek, this translation connects the ancient and modern worlds by providing modern names and maps for places mentioned in the text, a generous page layout, and marginal notes, allowing readers to appreciate Strabo's work directly and immediately. The result mimics what Strabo was doing two thousand years ago--relating the rapidly changing present of his original readers to their own ancient past. A remarkable translation of Strabo's remarkable window on the ancient world, this is essential reading for anyone interested in how we look at both antiquity and the world today.

    In his seventeen-book Geography, Strabo (c. 64 BCE-c. 25 CE) discusses geographical method, stresses the value of geography, and draws attention to the physical, political, and historical details of separate countries. Geography is a vital source for ancient geography and informative about ancient geographers.

    The Greek geographer and historian Strabo is known chiefly for this remarkable description of the known world in the early decades of the Roman Empire. The range and importance of the text ensured its copying and distribution in the medieval period, and multiple printed editions appeared later. Reissued here is the version published by the influential French publishing house Didot in 1853 as part of their series of Greek classics. It was prepared by the German classical scholars Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Muller (1813-94) and Johann Friedrich Dubner (1802-67). Muller's two-volume collection of the writings of lesser-known Greek geographers, Geographi Graeci Minores (1855-61), is also reissued in this series. The full text of Strabo's seventeen books is presented here in Greek with a parallel Latin translation as well as variant readings. Also included are several maps and a substantial index of names and places.
