About this ebook
Ancient meteorology was not just about predicting the weather but a broader notion involving the study of phenomena that belong under such disciplines as astronomy and geology today. This collective volume deals with meteorological phenomena in a wide variety of texts from classical antiquity: philosophical and scientific, literary, poetical, historical as well as medical. It takes a special approach in its sustained focus on how ancient authors sought to anchor novel insights into the work of their predecessors, tracing the development of meteorology beyond antiquity well into (early) modern times and adding perspectives from present-day science.
