Uncover ancient India through the eyes of Megasthenes with this new translation of his seminal work, ‘Indica.’ Richard Stoneman presents a complete and accessible rendering of the fragments, offering unparalleled insights into Indian geography, history, and customs as known to the classical world around 310 BCE. As the fullest classical account of India, Megasthenes’ ‘Indica’ was a groundbreaking ethnographical study, detailing social structures, royal life, elephant hunting, and philosophical ideas. This Routledge paperback provides crucial, contemporary information on the Maurya kingdom, bridging the gap for scholars of Hellenistic history and early Indian history. A vital resource for understanding Greek perspectives and ancient Indian civilization.
