About this book

Classical Gazetteer (1851) William Hazlitt

Author: Brother Elias

Year: 1851

A comprehensive guide to the geography of the classical world, as instructive today as when it was first published in 1851. Each reference locates one of the key sites of antiquity, detailing the site s history, supplemented with the rich assoc. of its heritage. The educated reader might know that Ephesus was founded by the Amazons, but the location of the legendary town of the Lotus Eaters & the best place to buy fishing rods in the entire Roman Empire are certain to surprise. A testament to the classical scholarship of the last cent., this vol. will interest all philological archaeologists & those searching for the birthplaces of our modern civilization.
