  • ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ τὰ σύνεγγυσ μόνον, ὥσπερ Ἐρατοσθένησ εἴρηκε, καὶ τὰ ἐν τοῖσ Ἕλλησιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν πόρρω πολλὰ λέγει καὶ δι’ ἀκριβείασ Ὅμηροσ καὶ μᾶλλόν γε τῶν ὕστερον μυθολογεῖται, οὐ πάντα τερατευόμενοσ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πρὸσ ἐπιστήμην ἀλληγορῶν ἢ διασκευάζων ἢ δημαγωγῶν ἄλλα τε καὶ τὰ περὶ τὴν Ὀδυσσέωσ πλάνην, περὶ ἧσ πολλὰ διαμαρτάνει τούσ τ’ ἐξηγητὰσ φλυάρουσ ἀποφαίνων καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν ποιητήν· (Strabo, Geography, book 1, chapter 2 14:1)
