Question

Помогите! Какой вклад в развитие географии сделал Гомер? и в какие годы?

Answer 1

Гомер (IX или VIII в. до н. э.). - представлял Землю как круг, который со всех сторон омывает река Океан. Если в «Илиаде» Гомер ведет историческое повествование, описывающее ход Троянской войны (1280–1180 до н. э.), то в «Одиссее» дано географическое описание окраинных районов известного тогда мира – Ойкумены.
