It sits at this atlas's middle tier: a serious and heavily documented secondary account rather than a peer reviewed academic press publication, and it is used in this atlas specifically as a secondary account of what the ancient authors held, not as a primary source in its own right. It is a strong, accessible source for understanding ancient Hellenistic technique as a coherent system. Where possible, a claim about a specific ancient author's own view is better anchored to that author's own surviving text, several of which this atlas also holds directly.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (491 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested2A modern synthesis of the surviving Hellenistic astrological sources working closely from and citing the ancient primary texts throughout, a serious and heavily documented secondary account rather than a peer reviewed academic press publication.NotesWell-attestedModern synthesis of the Greek sources with the primary texts cited throughout.
