Pausanias' Guide to Ancient Greece Paperback / softback
by Christian Habicht
Part of the Sather Classical Lectures series
Paperback / softback
Description
A Greek who lived in Asia Minor during the second century A.D., Pausanias traveled through Greece and wrote an invaluable description of its classical sites that is a treasure trove of information on archaeology, religion, history, and art.
Although ignored during his own time, Pausanias is increasingly important in ours--to historians, tourists, and archaeologists.
Christian Habicht offers a wide-ranging study of Pausanias' work and personality.
He investigates his background, chronology, and methods, and also discusses Pausanias' value as a guide for modern scholars and travellers, his attitude toward the Roman world he lived in, and his reception among critics in modern times.
A new preface summarizes the most recent scholarship.
