Publisher's Synopsis
This edition reproduces the 1876 revised edition of Cory's Ancient Fragments, the standard collection of Greco-Roman records of the history and literature of the ancient Near East. This edition updates references and restores selected fragments from the 1832 edition omitted from the 1876 edition. Cory's Ancient Fragments contains the texts of the Phoenician cosmology of Sanchuniathon, the controversial fragments of Berossus that some believe document extraterrestrial contact, as well as fragments about Atlantis and other vanished civilizations.
