Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greece Handbook for Travellers, Vol. 1 The aim of the Handbook to Greece, which now appears for the second time in an English garb, corresponding to the third German edition, is to supply the traveller with- the most necessary information regarding the history and culture of the people he is about to visit, to render him as independent as possible of the services of couriers, guides, and commissionnaires, to protect him against extortion, and in every way to aid him in deriving enjoyment and instruction from his tour in one of the most profoundly interesting countries in the world. Like the Editor's other Handbooks, this volume is founded on personal acquaintance with the places described. The manuscript forming the nucleus of the work was prepared by Dr. Lolling, now Curator of the Epigraphical Museum at Athens, whose knowledge of Greece is derived from a residence of many years in the country and who has also contributed largely to the present edition. The account of Olympia was furnished mainly by Dr. Dorpfeld, Director of the German Archaeological School at Athens. Many other travellers furnished useful hints and information, and the Editor himself visited Greece in order to supplement the work of his learned colleagues by such practical additions as were suggested by a long experience in the preparation of guide-books. The introductory sketch of Greek Art is from the pen of Professor Reinhard Kekule (whose introductions form one of the most valuable features of the Editors Handbooks to Italy) and has been adapted for English readers with the help of Dr. Joseph T. Clarke. For most acceptable aid in the preparation of the English edition the Editor also tenders his thanks to Mrs. Lewis (Miss Agnes Smith); to Professor Mahaffy of Trinity College, Dublin; and to Dr. Sandys, Public Orator of the University of Cambridge. Though the greatest pains have been taken to ensure accuracy, the Editor is well aware of the constant fluctuation to which many of the data in the Handbook are liable. He will therefore highly appreciate any corrections or suggestions with which travellers may favour him, especially if the result of their own observation. Communications of this nature have frequently been of the greatest use in the case of his other Handbooks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in Greece: Describing the Ionian Islands, Continental Greece, Athens, and the Peloponnesus, the Islands of the Aegean Sea, Albania, Thessaly, and Macedonia A few explanatory words may be added with reference to the form in which Greek names will appear in the following pages. A work containing quotations from many writers, all of whom may not have adhered to an uniform method of orthography, must present some anomalies. For the most part the usually received Latin form of Greek words has been made use of, but this rule has in some instances been departed from when by rendering the Greek K by the same letter in English, instead of by C, it has been possible to retain the exact Hellenic spelling, and thereby to facilitate the pronunciation of names of localities in Greece.

Download or read book Guide to Greece written by Pausanias and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1984-08-07 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the time-honored travel book about Greece, written 2,000 years ago Written by a Greek traveller in the second century ad for a principally Roman audience, Pausanias' Guide to Greece is a comprehensive, extraordinarily literate and well-informed guidebook for tourists of the age. Concentrating on buildings, tombs and statues, it also describes in detail the myths, religious beliefs and historical background behind the monuments considered. In doing so, it preserves Greek legends, quotes classical literature and poetry that would otherwise have been lost, and offers a fascinating depiction of the glory of classical Greece immediately before its third-century decline. This, the second of two volumes, explores Southern Greece including Sparta, Arkadia, Bassae and the games at Olympia. An inspiration to travellers and writers across the ages, including Byron and Shelley, it remains one of the most influential of all travel books.

With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
