In this book, Maria Pretzler combines a thorough introduction to Pausanias with exciting new perspectives. She considers the process & influences that shaped the ” Periegesis”, & maps out its literary & cultural context. Pausanias` text records contemporary interpretations of monuments & traditions, & is concerned with the identity & history of Greece, issues that were crucial concerns for Greeks under Roman rule. Parallels with various texts of the period offer insights into Pausanias` attitudes as well as illustrating important aspects of Second Sophistic culture. A discussion of Greek texts that deal with fictional or actual travel experiences provides a background for a detailed study of the Periegesis as travel literature. Pausanias` treatment of geography & his descriptions of landscapes, cities & artworks are considered in detail, & there is also a study of his methods as a historian. The final chapters deal with Pausanias` impact on modern approaches to Greece & ancient Greek culture. ...
