Strabo’s Geography, composed around the turn of the Common Era, is the most comprehensive geographical work to survive from antiquity — seventeen books covering the entire known world from Ireland to India. Volume 3 of this three-volume translation covers Asia Minor, the Middle East, Persia, India, and Africa, drawing on centuries of Greek geographical knowledge and Strabo’s own extensive travels.
This free EPUB of Volume 3 is formatted for e-readers. As a primary source for ancient geography, ethnography, and the limits of Greco-Roman knowledge of the wider world, Strabo is without peer and remains essential for historians of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East.
