The opening of this volume presents an introduction to geography as a science intertwined with philosophy. Strabo discusses the historical foundations of geography, referencing figures like Homer, Anaximander, and Eratosthenes, to establish the discipline's pedigree. He emphasizes the importance of geographical knowledge for societal betterment, governance, and understanding celestial phenomena.
