Summary: "This volume is a translation and commentary of three geographers from Greco-Roman antiquity: Hanno of Carthage, from around 500 BC; the Periplous Dedicated to King Nikomedes, from the last half of the second century BC, and Avienus, from the fourth century AD. The modern translations of texts in this book represent a thousand years of Greco-Roman geographical scholarship, and thus provide an overview of the discipline from its beginnings to late antiquity. Readers will learn about the development of Greek geography, and the earliest adventures outside the Mediterranean into the Atlantic, as far south as the tropics and north into the Arctic.
