DIONYSIUS PERIEGETES

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 286 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DIONYSIUS PERIEGETES , author of a Ilepu',' ais Tfis oiKov dv ls, a description of the habitable world in Greek hexameter verse, written in a terse and elegant style. Nothing certain is known of the date or nationality of the writer, but there is some reason for believing that he was an Alexandrian, who wrote in the time of Hadrian (some put him as
late
  as the end of the 3rd
century
 ). The
work
  enjoyed a high degree of popularity in ancient times as a school-book; it was translated into Latin by RufusFestus
Avienus
 , and by the grammarian Priscian. The commentary of
Eustathius
  is valuable.
The best editions are by G. Bernhardy (1828) and C. Muller (1861) in their Geographici Greeci minores; see also E. H. Bunbury, Ancient Geography (ii. p. 48o), who regards the author as flourishing from the reign of Nero to that of Trajan, and U. Bernays, Studien zu
Dion
 . Perieg. (1905). There are two old
English
  translations: T. Twine (1572, black
letter
 ), J. Free (1789, blank verse).
