Pausanias, born probably in Lydia in Asia Minor, was a Greek of
the 2nd century CE, about 120-180, who travelled widely not only in
Asia Minor, Palestine, Egypt and North Africa, but also in Greece
and in Italy, including Rome. He left a description of Greece in
ten books, which is like a topographical guidebook or tour of
Attica, the Peloponnese, and central Greece, filled out with
historical accounts and events and digressions on facts and wonders
of nature. His chief interest was the monuments of art and
architecture, especially the most famous of them; the accuracy of
his descriptions of these is proved by surviving remains.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Pausanias is in five
volumes; the fifth volume contains maps, plans, illustrations, and
a general index.
