EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the world as it was known to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus around 450 BC. Herodotus, often referred to as the "Father of History," is renowned for his groundbreaking work "The Histories," an account of the Persian Wars and the world known to the Greeks during that time. The map, based on Herodotus' descriptions, presents a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the ancient world. Herodotus' descriptions were primarily based on firsthand accounts and oral traditions, as he traveled extensively throughout Greece, Egypt, and other parts of the ancient world. His work includes detailed information about various cities, rivers, mountains, and peoples, many of which are depicted in this map. The map is divided into three continents: Europe, Asia, and Libya (Africa). The Mediterranean Sea dominates the center of the map, with the Black Sea and the Red Sea also depicted. The Nile River, the longest river known to the ancient world, flows through Egypt and is shown winding its way through the desert. The print also includes various labels indicating major cities, such as Athens, Sparta, Babylon, and Memphis, as well as significant landmarks, such as the Pillars of Heracles (modern-day Gibraltar) and the Caspian Sea. The map also shows the known extent of the Persian Empire, which was the largest empire of the ancient world at that time. This print is an invaluable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts, providing a unique window into the world as it was known to one of the greatest historians in human history. It serves as a reminder of the incredible feats of exploration and discovery that have shaped our understanding of the world and our place in it.
