Abstract
Although different scholars have noticed the adscription of the geographer Strabo to the artistic and ideological movements of atticism and classicism, we offer a more deeper analysis of this issue, with special attention to some points that, according to us, have not been examined enough, like the relation of classicism with the fact that Strabo adopted Polybius as his direct predecessor, his positive vision of Homer or the constant references to Isocrates’ pedagogical and panhellenic ideas. We provide numerous details that, according to us, prove these facts throughout his geographical work.
