- Summary:
- "Account by an aged Scythian of a journey through Greece that he had taken as a young man for the sake of his education. Into this book, set in the 4th century BC, Barthélemy poured the fruit of a lifetime's scholarship and research, using his wealth of learning to describe the laws, government, religion, philosophy, art, and antiquities of ancient Greece. This well-documented introduction to Hellenic culture rekindled interest in Greece (although some of its claims have since been disproved), and it provided suitable reading for generations of French schoolchildren." Cf. Encyclopaedia Britannica Online.
