Tales of the Barbarians

Ethnography and Empire in the Roman West.

The author traces the creation of new mythologies in the wake of Roman expansion westward to the Atlantic and explores how ancient geography, local histories and the stories of wandering heroes were woven together by Greek scholars and local experts to establish a place for different non-Roman ethnicities of the Ancient world.
