This is the publication of a systematically audited list of Strabo’s 17-volume Geographica. It has been released as an open-access, copyleft resource on Internet Archive, making it freely available to classicists, historical geographers, and digital humanities researchers worldwide. It spans the entirety of the ancient oikoumene—from the Atlantic coast of Iberia to the river plains of India and the Nilotic frontiers of North Africa.

About me

I am a physicist and independent researcher based in Athens, Greece, dedicated to interdisciplinary research that bridges science, linguistics, and philosophy. After studying physics at the Open University of Greece, I have pursued my field as a self-employed scholar, focusing on the deep structural and geometric principles that unite nature and human thought.
My research into ancient scripts and languages has led to significant contributions to the study of Mycenaean Greek. My "Linear B Lexicon" is a comprehensive, widely referenced academic resource for scholars analyzing the Mycenaean script. Another paper of mine, "Toponyms in Strabo’s Geography", is an extensive index of ancient placenames. This led to "The Pelasgian Origin of the Greek Language", a paper proposing that a primordial linguistic continuum existed across the Mediterranean and Anatolia since the Neolithic period, suggesting the Greek language began forming in Greece during this era.
My scientific models explore the fundamental geometric patterns of the cosmos. "Oscillatory Spacetime Propulsion (OSP) Theory" is a mathematically consistent framework analyzing faster-than-light (FTL) travel. By treating spacetime like a fluid medium and applying harmonic oscillator equations, this model maps superluminal flight trajectories without mathematical collapse. Another paper of mine, "The Universe in the Golden Ratio", is inspired by Drake’s equation and the anthropic principle. This work utilizes the number φ to evaluate galactic habitable zones, leading to estimates on the approximate size and rotation of the universe.
Additionally, "Radical Informational Monism" is a monograph bridging quantum field kinetics and analytical psychology. It formalizes the cosmos as a hyper-dimensional quantum processor where consciousness and physical structures are unified aspects of a single cosmic field.
All of my major papers are open-access. You can find and download them for free on the Internet Archive.
