first of two chats coming coming up: strabo, geographica, books 1 through 7

On Wednesday, we'll discuss Strabo's Geography, Books I through VII. A brief content description is available on Wikipedia.

• Books I and II discuss the philosophy (remember, we are in the ancient world) of geography: history and mathematics, with praise of Homer and analysis & criticism of later geographers.
• Books III through VII concern themselves with the western half of the known world.

An older post,  Strabo of Amasia, gives more information. I'm reading the work online and personally prefer Perseus.
