Présentation de l'éditeur
Geographical Views of the A ncients. The ideas of the Greeks andR omans on the subject of geography, especially in the earliest times, were very limited. As the continent of America was then unknown, and the extremities of the three great divisions of theO ld World were unexplored, it was impossible that it should be otherwise. In the Homeric poems we find geographical knowledge confined almost entirely to the eastern basin of theM editerranean. The cities of the mainland of Greece and both the eastern and western coast of theE geanS ea are there familiarly spoken of, and Phoenicia and gypt are known by name, though by the latter of these words Homer means the river Nile; but the seas and countries to the west of Greece are a region of fable, as may be seen in the mythical descriptions of Ulysses wanderings in he Odyssey, and total darkness hangs over the more distant lands, round which, as the ultimate boundary, the riverO ceanus is supposed to flow.
