Cosmography and the Idea of Hyperborea in Ancient Greece

A Philology of Worlds

Beschreibung

Wherever the idea of a world appears, there is an expression of cosmography. Cosmography, here, is defined as the rhetoric of cosmology: the art of composing worlds. This book pursues an anthropological and literary trajectory through ancient Greek cosmography through the diverse and strikingly rich history of Hyperborea.
