Greek text with French translation.
The Periplous attributed to Skylax of Caryanda contains a geographical description of the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts. It was composed in Athens just before Alexander’s conquests, and contains an invaluable amount of rare information for the historian, the archeologist and the philologist. In France, no edition has been published since Muller’s Geographica Graeca Minores (GGM) in 1855.
This book provides a new edition of the Black Sea section of the Periplous, often considered to be the oldest part of the treatise; it also offers a new philological, historical and archaeological commentary, which will be useful for specialists but also for graduate students, who will find here an accessible edition of this difficult but important text.
