who was the first greek explorer to reach the arctic?
aristotle
these theories clashed with the evidence of explorers, however, hanno the navigator had traveled as far south as sierra leone, and it is possible other phoenicians had circumnavigated africa. in the 4th century bc the greek explorer pytheas traveled through northeast europe, and circled the british isles. he found that the region was considerably more habitable than theory expected, but his discoveries were largely dismissed by his contemporaries because of this. conquerors also carried out exploration, for example, caesar's invasions of britain and germany, expeditions/invasions sent by augustus to arabia felix and ethiopia (res gestae 26), and perhaps the greatest ancient greek explorer of all, alexander the great, who deliberately set out to learn more about the east through his military expeditions and so took a large number of geographers and writers with his army who recorded their observations as they moved east.
