Discussion
Which one of the following is correct sequence of contributors in the development of Greek Geography ?
Answer: D
The correct sequence of Greek geographers is Anaximander, Herodotus, Eratosthenes and Hipparchus. Anaximander (sixth century BC) is credited with an early world map. Herodotus (fifth century BC) wrote the Histories with geographical description. Eratosthenes (third century BC) measured the earth's circumference. Hipparchus (second century BC) proposed latitude and longitude grids.
The other options place Hipparchus before Eratosthenes or Herodotus before Anaximander, which reverses their dates.
