Every adventurer / explorer at that time has itheor own version of book, but one of the most popular enough is a summary of the book which is written in the form of poetry, is "Antipater of Sidon," which was made around year 140 BC (BCE).
I have gazed on the walls of impregnable Babylon along which chariots may race, and on the Zeus by the banks of the Alpheus, I have seen the hanging gardens, and the Colossus of the Helios, the great man-made mountains of the lofty pyramids, and the gigantic tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the sacred house of Artemis that towers to the clouds, the others were placed in the shade, for the sun himself has never looked upon its equal outside Olympus.
