Welcome to the home page for the Greece section of Travels Through Greco-Roman Antiquity! The inspiration for this part of the project is Falvey Library's Special Collections work The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece by Jean Jacques Barthelemy. This work, published in 1806, is a fourth edition English translation of the original French work and consists of seven volumes as well as an additional volume for illustrations, maps, etc. The topic of the work is the imaginary journey of Anacharsis throughout Greece in the fourth century B.C.E.
Instructions
To travel through different pages of this project, use the map of Greece in the center of this page. Click on the green dots for cities and red square for battles. You will then be taken to the webpages for each location or ancient battle which took place at that location. The pages you will explore contain work by the fall 2014 Cities of Ancient Greece course at Villanova.
The map of ancient Greece above is one of the many beautiful illustrations in Barthelemy's work. As you travel through the pages of this website, compare the illustrations from Barthelemy (maps, plans, views of monuments and sites) with the other images around them.
