		Strabo himself was an adherent to the principles of Stoic philosophy.
		Strabo was also influenced by Pythodoris, queen of Pontus, who was so great a friend of Rome that she bequeathed her throne to Augustus and this also must have played a role in his partiality towards the empire.

	Ataman Hotel - Ancient World's Geographer: Strabo
		A member of a noble family on his mother's side, Strabo was born in 64 or 63 BC in the city of Amaseia (now called Amasya) capital of Pontus, a region in northeastern Anatolia that was an independent kingdom from the 4th century BC until overcome by Pompey in 66 BC.
		In his book, Strabo proudly refers to his extensive travels and they were extensive indeed: as far east as Armenia in the east, as far west as the Tyrrhenian shores opposite Sardinia, as far north as the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea), and as far south as Ethiopia.
		Indeed, Strabo appears to have been as much a historian as he was a geographer for among his works is a forty-seven volume work of history of which unfortunately nothing remains.

		Strabo does not have the same stature as Tacitus; and although Asia Minor assumed increasing importance in the eastern Roman empire, these studies are too focused on small points to provide any overall interpretation of political or cultural assimilation.
		Syme conceded that Strabo is often the primary, and sometimes the only, source for important information about the middle and later years of Augustus' reign, but that certainly did not stop him from disparaging Strabo and trying to correct his text.
		Syme's careful studies on Strabo and Asia Minor are not going to challenge any currently fashionable approaches or topics in ancient history; but in the working out of those approaches or the researching of those topics every generation of scholars must struggle again with the sort of meticulous investigations represented in these chapters.

		Strabo's audience explains his marked difference from Herodotus, the famous Greek historian of the fifth century B.C. Where Herodotus writes for himself primarily, and looks for the anecdotal material that interests him, Strabo invariably has the viewpoint of his aristocratic readers in mind.
		Strabo, incidentally, makes it perfectly clear that the famous Roman Prefect retreated, not from Marib, the capital city and site of the legendary dam, but from a lesser place named Marsiaba.
		Strabo is obviously regretful not only that his Roman friend failed so catastrophically, but also that so splendid a province was not added to the Roman Empire.

		This interest has led to a number of publications on Strabo, an author who in the lifetime of Augustus set out to write a universal history but today is known mostly for his geography, originally intended, as Engels (E.) argues, only as a complement to his larger work of history, almost completely lost.
		Strabo thus followed a trend that had already started with Alexander Polyhistor, Artemidoros and, in Latin literature, Varro, and that led to the decline of late Hellenistic universal history (p.

		Strabo draws a remarkably sharp distinction between Greeks and barbarians, which is to be blurred only when it comes to an evaluation of the Romans.
		Returning to the discussion of oikoumene in Strabo, she stressses the affirmative attitude of Strabo towards an empire that expands the boundaries of the civilized world; only where further expansion would simply not be worthwhile, Rome chooses to leave her barbarian neighbours alone.

	Kennislink - 21 mei 2003:Homerus en Strabo kenden hun geografie
		De Griekse schrijver Strabo nam Homerus’ beschrijving zelfs als uitgangspunt toen hij in de eerste eeuw na Christus (toen het eerder verwoeste Troje weer was opgebouwd onder de naam Nieuw Ilium) zijn boek ‘Geografie’ schreef.
		In Strabo’s tijd had de riviervlakte zich al veel verder noordwaarts uitgebreid, en moet de landtong waarop de Grieken eerder hun kamp hadden opgeslagen, niet of nauwelijks meer als landschappelijk herkenningspunt te vinden zijn geweest.
		Strabo’s interpretatie van de situatie ter plaatse tijdens de Trojaanse oorlog was opvallend correct: hij realiseerde zich al dat de kustlijn door aanslibbing veranderd moest zijn ten opzichte van de door Homerus beschreven situatie.
