1119 from Greek and Roman Materials

1. Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) (ed. William Smith, LLD) alphabetic letter A
   Hecataeus and Pherecydes seem to have regarded the whole earth as divided into two equal parts-Europe on the N., and Asia with Libya on the S.--by the strait of the Pillars of Hercules in the W., and the Phasis (or Araxes) and Caucasus on the E., the subdivision of the southern half into Asia and Libya being made by the Nile; and they keep to the old notion of the poets, that the earth was enclosed by the ocean, as a river circulating round it (Fray. (21.16)

   The opinion had also become established, in Strabo's time, that the E. and N. parts of Asia were surrounded by an ocean, which also surrounded the outer parts of Libya and Europe; but some, and even Ptolemy, reverted to the old notion, which we find in the early poets, that the south-eastern parts of Asia and of Libya were united by continuous land, enclosing the Indian Ocean on the E. and S.: this unknown land extends from Cattigara, the southmost city of the Sinae, to the promontory Prasum, his southmost point on the E. coast of Libya, in about the parallel of 20° S. lat. (19.38)

   Nest. The purpose is perspicuous even as substance,
   
   Whose grossness little characters sum up:
   
   And, in the publication, make no strain,
   
   But that Achilles, were his brain as barren
   
   As banks of Libya,--though, Apollo knows,
   
   'Tis dry enough,--will, with great speed of judgement,
   
   Ay, with celerity, find Hector's purpose
   
   Pointing on him.
