Current Goal

ENG: Pytheas of Massalia is my full name. I travel along the coastlines of Europe, always close enough to the shore to hear the surf. Take me home to Marseille!
DEU: Mein Name ist Pytheas von Massalia. Ich bereise die Küsten Europas, immer in Hörweite der Brandung. Bring mich heim nach Marseille!

About This Item

sunbathing Pytheas

ENG: Pytheas of Massalia was of most adventurous disposition. Some 2300 years ago he travelled north from his hometown Massalia (todays Marseille), hitching rides with merchant's boats, exploring the coastlines of France, Great Britain, probably Norway and Germany. Having returned home safely, he wrote a record of his journeys, commenting on the peoples he met and strange phenomena he witnessed, only to be called a liar and a fraud by his contemporaries. His opus, "On Okeanos", is lost today and only survives in quotations in the works of later Greek authors, often accompanies by some sneering remarks.

DEU: Vor etwa 2300 Jahren machte sich Pytheas von Massalia auf, um den Norden zu bereisen. Vermutlich benutzte er für seine Entdeckungsfahrten die Schiffe örtlicher Händler, auf denen er die Küsten Frankreichs, Englands, eventuell Norwegens und Deutschlands bereiste. Nach seiner Rückkehr verfasste er das Werk "über den Okeanos", in dem er fremde Völker, ihre Sitten und seltsame Phänomene beschrieb, die er im Norden kennengelernt hatte. Sowohl Zeitgenossen als auch Nachgeborene hielten die Berichte Pytheas' für Seemansgarn. Da sein Werk verloren ging, kennen wir dessen Inhalte nur aus Zitaten in den Schriften anderer griechischer Autoren, oft begleitet von bissigen Kommentaren.
