The Geography of Strabo, Volume 1 (of 3)

Strabo · c. 20 CE (Books I–VI likely composed/available by this period) primary

passage 37 of 384 · BOOK I. > CHAPTER II. (27/27)

in brief
Strabo defends the geographic plausibility of Homer’s wandering when supported by residual traditions, responding to Apollodorus and Eratosthenes by saying no better locations have been named so far.

And again:

“The city of Æetes, where the rays of the swift sun recline on their golden bed by the shore of the ocean, which the noble Jason visited.”
