The Annual of the British School at Athens 117 (diciembre de 2022): 285-309. https://doi.org/10.1017/S006824542200003X. 0068-2454 10.1017/S006824542200003X https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/91265 https://doi.org/10.1017/S006824542200003X The expression λιμὴν κλειστός appears 29 times in ancient Greek literary sources; however, it has prompted four different interpretations and three possible English translations. As a contribution to the ongoing discussion of the expression’s meaning, this paper analyses its appearances in Strabo’s Geography; this work, with its nine references, is, in fact, the source in which it appears second most often. In particular, focus will be placed upon two issues: the extent to which the expression is employed consistently in the Geography and its possible origin; and what meaning(s) – if any – can be assigned to it. To gain further insight into the expression’s meaning(s), the aforementioned cases of ‘closed harbours’ will be compared with the available archaeological and geomorphological evidence. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International An Analysis of the 'Closed Harbours' in Strabo's Geography: Background, nature and meaning of the expression journal article
