Summary:
"Although the Earth's spherical shape has been considered scientific fact since Hellenistic times, it has been questioned since the fourth century, especially in the "Antiochene" school of Diodorus of Tarsus. This volume relates the reasons behind this skepticism to the fall of dominant Greek and Roman culture during the Migration Period, although persistent alternative Syro-Mesopotamian cosmographies prove themselves crucial." --Publisher's website.
