Title | A Brief Activity on Hanno’s Periplus |
Body | From http://caneweb.org Gabe Bakale writes, “In the early years of the fifth century BC, a Carthaginian admiral named Hanno sailed through the Pillars of Hercules and along the western coast of Africa, establishing trading posts and jotting down notes about his encounters along the way. Upon returning to Carthage, an account of his voyage was set up in a temple, and translated into Greek at some later point by an anonymous scribe. This short text has fortunately survived into the present, and provides a fascinating narrative of an early voyage of exploration. It also allows us the rare opportunity to listen to a story told by the Carthaginians themselves. Access these materials at http://caneweb.org/new/?p=3448 |
