Abstract

In his Geography, Strabo builds each description with a selection of data obtained through the sources he has consulted and his own personal experience. The attempts to establish a des- criptive unique pattern to analyze the overall work is inadequate. Since the different elements used in descriptions, religious elements included, are neither the same nor traited in the same way by the autor. In Armenia’s case, Strabo builds religious topics to apply at this community in order to make him comprenhensible to his readers and achieve the main objectives of the work: offer a picture of the people of the inhabited world, be a useful guide for governors and military soldiers and, implicitly, show the superiority of greek civilization.
