AB Eustathios of Thessalonike wrote several commentaries (parekbolai) onancient authors, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Pindar (now lost), perhaps Oppian, Aristophanes(some fragments survive) and Dionysius of Alexandria’s Periegesis. Unlikethe Homeric Parekbolai, those on the Periegesis has been the subject of littlestudy, not only as a scientific work by classical philologists, but also as a literarywork by Byzantinists. In this regard, this chapter delves into the didactic methodologyand etymological approach of Eustathios in his Parekbolai on the Periegesis,analyzing the role of etymology in the teaching of geography and focusing on theplaces, geographical features, and peoples of the oikoumenē described in thePeriegesis. The chapter also examines the ways in which Eustathios uses, rewrites,and adapts his sources to elucidate the etymology of the terms he discusses, and theways in which he extends etymologies with his own remarks.
