The Perseus Classics Collection at
Tufts University
Perseus provides classical texts
online, in the original Greek or Latin and in English translation. As far as Strabo’s
Geography goes, the following is available online through Perseus:
- The Greek text of Strabo’s Geography, based
on an 1877 reprint of Meineke (1852-53). Note that the Greek text
provided through Perseus is restricted to Books 6-14 of the Geography,
rather than being the full complement of seventeen books.
- An English translation of Strabo’s Geography,
based on the translation by H.L. Jones which accompanied his 1917-32
edition of the Geography. Note that the English translation by
Jones is only partially (Books 6-14) available through Perseus.
- The English translation of Strabo’s Geography
by Hamilton and Falconer (1854-1857). All seventeen books of the
Hamilton and Falconer translation are available through Perseus. Note
that the Hamilton and Falconer translation is older, and the style even
more dated, than Jones (1917-32).
LacusCurtius • A Gateway to Ancient Rome
This website, maintained by Bill Thayer, includes the English translation of Strabo’s Geography by
H.L. Jones (1917-32), but not Jones’ edition of the Greek text (on the
grounds that the Greek text of the Geography is available through the
TLG). All seventeen books of Jones’ English translation of the Geography
will ultimately be available through LacusCurtius. As of November 2007, Books
1-10 and 15-17 have so far been made available.
