DOWNLOAD EBOOKProfessor Pritchett continues his study of topographical data to test the veracity of Greek historians. This sixth volume focuses on Pansanias's account of the sites in the Thyreatis, on the historical record on the use of the Thermopylai pass, and on Polybios's accounts of Philip V's march across the Peloponnesos in 219 B.C. and on Thermon in 218 B.C., with new identifications proposed for sites in Arkadia and Aitolia.
