书籍简介

斯特拉博(约公元前64年至公元25年)，是本都阿玛西亚的一个亚洲希腊人，他在尼萨学习，公元前44年以后又在罗马学习。他是一个热衷于旅行的人。他游览了意大利的大部分地区、包括黑海在内的近东地区、小亚细亚、远至埃塞俄比亚的埃及和希腊的部分地区。他在亚历山大呆了很长一段时间，在那里他学习了数学、天文学和历史。斯特拉博的历史著作已经失传，但他的十七本书中最重要的地理学著作却保存了下来。前两本是介绍性书籍，第三、四本是关于西班牙和高卢的，第五、六本是关于意大利和西西里岛的，第七本是关于北欧和东欧的，第八-十是关于希腊，第十一-十四是关于亚洲和小亚细亚的主要地区，第十五本是印度和伊朗，第十六本是亚述、巴比伦、叙利亚和阿拉伯，第十七本是埃及和非洲。在大纲中，他模仿伟大的数学地理学家埃拉托色尼(Eratosthenes)，但增加了对不同国家的描述，包括物理、政治和历史细节。作为他历史回忆录的续集，《地理》是为公务员设计的。因此才有了对自然特征和自然产物的描述。在数学方面，它是关于埃拉托斯特尼、希巴克斯和波西多尼乌斯的宝贵信息来源。斯特拉博的勒布经典图书馆版有八卷。

Strabo (ca. 64 BCE to ca. 25 CE), an Asiatic Greek of Amasia in Pontus, studied at Nysa and after 44 BCE at Rome. He became a keen traveller who saw a large part of Italy, various near eastern regions including the Black Sea, various parts of Asia Minor, Egypt as far as Ethiopia, and parts of Greece. He was a long time in Alexandria where he no doubt studied mathematics, astronomy, and history. Strabo's historical work is lost, but his most important Geography in seventeen books has survived. After two introductory books, numbers 3 and 4 deal with Spain and Gaul, 5 and 6 with Italy and Sicily, 7 with north and east Europe, 8?10 with Greek lands, 11?14 with the main regions of Asia and with Asia Minor, 15 with India and Iran, 16 with Assyria, Babylonia, Syria, and Arabia, 17 with Egypt and Africa. In outline he follows the great mathematical geographer Eratosthenes, but adds general descriptions of separate countries including physical, political, and historical details. A sequel to his historical memoirs, Geography is planned apparently for public servants rather than students?hence the accounts of physical features and of natural products. On the mathematical side it is an invaluable source of information about Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, and Posidonius. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Strabo is in eight volumes.
