About the Book

Ancient India as described in Classical Literature is a collection of Greek and Latin texts relating to India extracted from numerous sources, such as the Histories of Herodotus, Polybius, Diodorus Siculus, and Dion Cassius; the Geographies of Strabo and Dionysius Periegetes; the Natural History of Pliny, the Christian Topography of Kosmas Indikopleustes, the Life of Apollonius of Tyana by Philostratus; the Romance History of Alexander; and Notices in Aelian, Nonnus, Porphyry, Stobaeus, Dion Chrysostom, Eusebius, and others. Though the extracts have not been arranged in accordance with any fixed principle, as that of their chronology, yet some of them have been placed side by side as treating in the main of the same subjects. While the present book is crucial for the students, researchers and teachers of Ancient History, it will prove to be an interesting read for a layperson alike.
