Oikoumene (Gr. οἰκουμένη ) was not only a political and religious term, but first and foremost a geographical one. The Greek word οἰκουμένη means “inhabited,” a participle to which the noun γῆ , “earth,” is implied. 1 Literally, oikoumene is the “inhabited earth.” We do not know who coined this term.
What is the ratio of the oikoumene?All conceived of the oikoumene as a rectangle, and for the ratio between the length (from east to west) and the breadth (from north to south) Democritus proposed 3:2, 11 while Eudoxus had 2:1, 12 Aristotle “more than 5:3,” 13 and Dicaearchus 14 3:2. Our sources do not, unfortunately, inform us how the geographers arrived at their conclusions.
Why did the Romans “nearly” subject the Greek Oikoumene to their rule?Polybius, trying to explore the reasons why the Romans “nearly” subjected the whole oikoumene to their rule (cf. 3, 59; 15, 9, 5; 6, 50, 6, without this qualification), recorded this idea for the first time. For the Greek oikoumene, the Romans used the compound orbis terrarum (or, less frequently, orbis terrae ).
How did Eratosthenes divide the oikoumene?With regard to the division of the oikoumene, Eratosthenes agreed with his predecessor Dicaearchus, who invented a “diaphragm.” Intersecting the whole Mediterranean and continuing with a mountain range (“Tauros”), this divides the oikoumene into a northern and a southern part.
