Periplous

A Greek merchant-explorer Pytheas is said to be the first person to have circumnavigated the British Isles, in 325 BCE, thereby fixing the islands in the historical imagination as archipelagic, maritime, aloof. His own account of the voyage is lost. This poem attempts to make good that lack.

Un comerciant-explorator grec Pytheas se spune ca este prima persoana care a inconjurat insulele britanice, in 325 i.Hr., fixand astfel insulele in imaginatia istorica ca arhipelag, maritim, distantat. Propriul sau raport despre calatorie este pierdut.
