Scymnus

Ancient Greek geographer · Died 10 BC

Scymnus of Chios was a Greek geographer from the island of Chios. It was thought he was the author of the Periodos to Nicomedes, a work on geography written in Classical Greek. It is an account of the world in 'comic' iambic trimeters which is dedicated to a King Nicomedes of Bithynia.

Scymnus is read about 4 times a day, in 14 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
