Table of ContentsReviewsReaders will come to this volume for diverse reasons - Herodotean scholarship, literary criticism, spatial theory, and/or new mapping technologies - and the editors are to be commended for seeing through their initial vision for a volume that brings together various strategies for re-imagining how the ancient Greeks and Romans conceived of their world. Rebecca K. Schindler, Classical Journal Online "A shared vision about the need to contemplate space in new ways, Herodotus' Histories as a common arena for deliberation, and the potential of digital humanities to open new lines of research embody the three thematic axes of the book. Also, due to the frequent cross-references across chapters, the volume bears the mark of a genuinely interdisciplinary debate.
