Sarah Pothecary's web resource on Strabo Edited, authored or reviewed A listing of presentations
Photo credit: Héléne Anne Fortin, Wakefield , Québec , Canada	Major project: Sarah Pothecary’s current project is the translation into English of Strabo’s Geography, originally written in Greek in the first quarter of the first century CE. The work is extremely long and complex, containing approximately a third of a million words. Yet it has much to offer, both to modern readers whose main interests lie in the contemporary world and those whose focus is on antiquity. The new translation will be well-laid out, clear and accessible. There will be marginal notes to explain historical references in the text, and plentiful maps to correlate the areas described by Strabo with our modern conception of the world. Target date for completion is 2012.

Other projects: Sarah is attempting to broaden the audience for Strabo’s Geography beyond the classicists who traditionally make up its readership. She took part in a symposium on diplomacy in the 21^st century, at the Diplomatic Academy of London, University of Westminster in 2008 (see left).
