Texts by Apollodorus, Alciphron, Aelian, Artemidorus, and Pausanias also receive attention, along with the Alexander Romance and Egyptian apocalyptic narratives. Attending to the relationship between mobility and cultural rootedness, each chapter examines how Greek writers of the imperial era constructed and represented the multi-temporal landscapes of their contemporary world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edited volume contributes to a growing interest in the topographical imagination of the ancient Mediterranean. The Roman Empire was a world of vast trade networks, cosmopolitan culture, and high elite mobility, making geography an essential component of the language of power and culture. Volume contributors present a composite picture of how imperial-era Greek writers constructed and curated topographies of the Greek world - urban, rural, cultic, and monumental - to tell new stories about Hellenic space and its place within the broader empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanet Downie\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Peterson\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies at Penn State University, USA.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51183178252562,"sku":"9781350383616","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_df0271f9-32a1-440b-a309-30f7aa19a048.jpg?v=1744456418","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/greek-literary-topographies-in-the-roman-imperial-world-9781350383616","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
