Pytheas of Massalia by Lionel Scott
Pytheas of Massalia (Marseille), mariner, explorer, geographer and astronomer, made a pioneering voyage into the then unknown Atlantic around 325 BC, reaching Britain and the Baltic; this book collects and translates the references to him and his book (which is lost), and discusses and explains them."Because of the way it challenges some accepted deductions about Pytheas and his voyage, and because it is very well produced, Scott’s edition is a welcome addition to the studies on the Greek explorer" - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Dr Lionel Scott is a classically educated retired barrister, whose publications include Were There Polis Navies in Archaic Greece?, BAR Int Series 899 (2000) 93-115, and Historical Commentary on Herodotus Book VI (2005).
