The Edges of the Earth in Ancient Thought: Geography, Exploration, and Fiction Reprint edition
James S. Romm
For the Greeks and Romans the earth's farthest perimeter was a realm radically different from what they perceived as central and human. This book reveals that the Greeks, and to a somewhat lesser extent the Romans, saw geography not as a branch of physical science but as an important literary genre.
