Publisher's Synopsis
Geographi Graeci Minores is a collection of minor Greek geographical texts, compiled and edited by Karl MÃ1/4ller. This volume preserves fragments and complete works attributed to various ancient geographers and explorers, offering invaluable insights into the geographical knowledge and perceptions of the ancient world. Included are texts such as Hanno the Carthaginian's Periplus, accounts attributed to Scylax, fragments from Dicaearchus, Agatharchides' writings on the Erythraean Sea, and works ascribed to Scymnus of Chios and Dionysius.
These texts, though often fragmented or of uncertain authorship, provide critical details about ancient voyages, coastal descriptions, and geographical theories. This collection is essential for scholars and students interested in the history of geography, classical literature, and the ancient world's understanding of its physical environment. The volume offers a glimpse into the exploratory spirit and intellectual curiosity that drove ancient mariners and scholars to map and describe their world.
