The Extraordinary Voyage of Pytheas the Greek by Cunliffe, Book Review11 by StabtheDragon112

This book of ancient history is also part detective story, literary criticism, adventure story, history of science...it is a 5 out of 5 for me! Pytheas was a Greek from Massalia (Marseilles, France) who undertook a voyage in the 4th century BC to find the sources of tin and amber, and to explore the far north. He likely saw Iceland, northern Norway, and the Baltic coast. Although I was a little bit familiar with Pytheas from studying ancient history in college, 40+ years ago, my recent studies of the Vikings kept bringing up Pytheas, so I read this book, which was published in 2001...over 20 years ago.
