The Extraordinary Voyage of Pytheas the Greek

Rating:
Summary: Ordinary Voyage
Review: With a title like THE EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE OF PYTHEAS THE GREEK, and a strong interest in ancient history, I was expecting an interesting, readable account. Instead, I got convoluted bits and pieces of info. Not a whole lot of it had to do with Pytheas.

I won't even go into the historical relevance of this book, because frankly I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. As an ancient history grad student & writer myself, I really wish that historians paid more attention to writing well.
