Description

Explore the legendary travels of one of history's most significant maritime figures. Pytheas of Massalia was a mariner, explorer, geographer, and astronomer who conducted a pioneering voyage into the Atlantic around 325 BC. This volume from the Routledge Classical Translations series provides a comprehensive collection of the references to Pytheas and his lost book. While the original writings of Pytheas are gone, his impact remains through the accounts of others. This book translates these fragments and provides detailed commentary to explain his findings. At a time when the Greeks knew very little about northern Europe beyond fantastical trader stories, Pytheas provided the first factual, first-hand information on the region. His journey took him through Iberia and France to Britain, and even further north toward the Baltic. This text is an essential resource for readers interested in ancient history, maritime exploration, and the early geographical understanding of northern Europe.
