All information at Pseudo-Eratosthenes is currently included in this article. Any objections to the merge? --Wetman 19:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am amazed at the "argument"...

However, the astrological connoisseurship of its fables in fact have nothing to do with Eratosthenes' scientific conjectures and solutions—which belong instead near the origins of an astronomy that was separated from the predictive and interpretive functions of astrology, not an easy feat of the logical imagination. The separation was effected in Alexandrian intellectual circles during the 1st century BCE.

Although no original sources are quoted for that, one cannot ignore the fact that during the same period we saw the rise of astronomical/astrological school of Rhodos (Poseidonius, Cleomedes, Geminus, Hipparchus etc.) that created what we find later in Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos as astrological geography. Hipparchus apparently wrote such a work, fragments of which appeared in hellenistic astrologer texts (like iatromathematician's Hephaestio Thebanus).

Also roughly the same period egyptian natal astrology meets with hellenic astronomy/astrology through the intellectual circles of Rhodos and Alexandria, thus producing important hellenoegyptian astrological school (whose last writer is Rhetorius, around 6th cent AD).

I don't mind the "objectivity" of certain writers when it comes to astrology, but their ignorance is unbelieavable! - H.P. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.250.12.95 (talk) 04:09, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
