ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to analyse the historical information in Books 11–14 of Strabo's Geography, in order to identify the different purposes of the myriad variety of references in the Geography specifically against Strabo's statement in Books 1 and 2 on the intention and character of his work. Books 11–14 are good material for this investigation, since all possible types of knowledge and people are found together in the same geographical section, identified by Strabo as Cis-Tauran Asia. Historical data are related to the philosophy of setting forth a geography whose main protagonist is the human being. Strabo's Geography is a display of human examples and their relation with the history of peoples and cities, following a didactic model that fits completely within the ancient Greek idea of using education to teach civic values and to create good citizens. Strabo's great interest in the problems concerning these groups of people and their movement derives also from his philological and grammarian interest.
