Fragmenta - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Fragmenta presents the surviving fragments of the works of Hecataeus of Miletus and Scylax of Caryanda, two pivotal figures in the development of ancient geography. This meticulously edited collection, supplemented with a geographical table, offers invaluable insights into early Greek understandings of the world. Hecataeus, known for his systematic approach to describing the inhabited world, and Scylax, famous for his periplus (circumnavigation), provide contrasting yet complementary perspectives on the geography of their time.
