Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6: With an English Translation; Books I and II The text of Spiro has rarely been altered. A few of the most plausible conjectures, generally though not always adopted by Spiro, have been assigned to their authors in footnotes. In my translation I have not distinguished be tween Medes and Persians, or Ilium Troy. It is rather deceptive to an English reader to do so, and the Greek scholar can easily tell from the original which word in each case was used by Pausanias.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 Mr. Gurlitt concludes that the second book of Pausanias was written after 16 5 a.d. Even the first book, according to him, must be dated not earlier than 143 a.d. His reason is that when Pausanias wrote this book the stadium at Athens had already been rebuilt of white marble by Herodes Atticus,1 and that the reconstruction cannot, if Professor C. Wachsmuth is right,2 have been begun before 143 a.d. Or a little earlier. With regard to the other books, the evidence, scanty as it is, is less conflicting. The fifth book, as we have seen, was composed in the year 174 a.d. The eighth book, in which mention is made of the victory of Marcus Antoninus over the Germans,3 must have been written after 166 a.d., the year when the German war broke out, and may have been written in or after 176 a.d., the year in which the emperor celebrated a triumph for his success. In the tenth book occurs the reference to the inroad of the Costobocs 4 hence the book was written between 166 and 180 a.d. Further, the references which Pausanias makes both forwards and backwards to the several parts of his work show that the books were written in the order in which they now stand.5 Hence books six to ten cannot have been composed earlier and may have been composed a good deal later than 174 a.d., the year in which our author was engaged on his fifth book. Thus the composition of the work extended over a period of at least fourteen years and probably of many more. That Pausanias spent a long time over it might be inferred from a passage in which he explains a change in his religious views. When he began his work, so he tells us, he looked on some Greek myths as little better than foolishness, but when he had got as far as his description of Arcadia he had altered his opinion and had come to believe that they contained a kernel of deep wisdom under a husk of extravagance.6 Such a total change of attitude towards the religious traditions of his country was more probably an affair of years than of weeks and months.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 The present work was originally intended to be a plain translation of the text of Spiro. After a time I was requested by the Editors of the Loeb series to add a few notes, dates, maps, etc., so that the Tour might be more intelligible to English readers. Fully aware of the difficulties and dangers of the plan, I have nevertheless tried my best to choose from a vast quantity of material just those scraps of information which an English reader would need most. A few of the notes are printed at the side and foot of the page; most of them, together with the maps and plans, are reserved for the Index, which it is hoped to make a "companion" to Pausanias. The transliteration of Greek names has been a matter of difficulty. The only way to avoid inconsistencies is to transliterate letter for letter without attempting either to Latinize or to Anglicize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 In this work my aim has been to give a faithful and idiomatic rendering of Pausanias and to illustrate and supplement his description of Greece by the remains of antiquity and the aspect of the country at the present day. The translation has been made on the whole from the last complete recension of the text, that of J. H. C. Schubart (Leipsic, 1853-1854). All departures from that recension are recorded in the Critical Notes, in which I have also essayed to put together the more important suggestions that have been made for the improvement of the text since Schubart's edition was published. The materials for an illustrative commentary have been accumulated in great abundance by travellers, scholars, and antiquaries, and my task has been chiefly the humble one of condensing and digesting these copious but scattered materials into a moderate compass and a convenient form. But I have also embodied the notes of several journeys which I made in Greece for the sake of this work in 1890 and 1895. At the outset of a book which deals so largely with archaeological matters, it is proper I should confess to being an expert in none of the branches of archaeology. If, nevertheless, I have presumed to comment on Pausanias, my excuse is that a commentary was needed and that at the time when, more than thirteen years ago, I undertook to write it no one else, so far as I knew, had announced an intention of doing so. It was not till I had gone too far to recede that I heard of a new critical and explanatory edition on which two highly competent scholars, Professors Hitzig and Blumner of Zurich, were engaged. Had I learned of their enterprise sooner I should probably have abandoned mine or contented myself with publishing a translation only.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias, and Other Greek Sketches The Englishman in Greece who pays any heed to the remains of classical antiquity is apt, if he be no scholar, to wonder who a certain Pausanias was whose authority he finds often quoted on questions of ancient buildings and sites. The first of the following sketches may do some thing to satisfy his curiosity on this head. It has already served as an introduction to a yersion of Pausanias's Description of Greece which I published with a commentary two years ago. The account of Pericles was con tributed to the ninth edition of the Encyclo paea'z'a Britannica. I desire to thank Messrs. A. And C. Black for their courteous permission to republish it. The other sketches are reprinted, with some small changes and adjustments of detail, from my commentary on Pausanias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... back gable are by Alcamenes, a contemporary of Phidias, and only second to him as a sculptor. His work in the gable represents the battle of the Lapiths with the Centaurs at the wedding of Pirithous. At the middle of the gable is Pirithous: beside him, on the one hand, are Eurytion, who has snatched up the wife of Pirithous, and Caeneus, who is succouring Pirithous; on the other hand is Theseus repelling the Centaurs with an axe; one Centaur has caught up a maiden, another a blooming youth. Alcamenes, it seems to me, represented this scene because he had learned from Homer that Pirithous was a son of Zeus, and because he knew that Theseus was a great grandson of Pelops. Most of the labours of Hercules 9 are also represented at Olympia. Above the doors of the temple is the hunting of the Arcadian boar, and the affair with Diomede the Thracian, and that with Geryon at Erythea, and Hercules about to take the burden of Atlas on himself, and Hercules cleansing the land of the Eleans from the dung. Above the doors of the back chamber is Hercules wresting from the Amazon her girdle, and the stories of the deer, and the bull in Cnosus, and the birds at Stymphalus, and the hydra, and the lion in the land of Argos. 3. As you enter the bronze doors you have on the right, in front 10 of the pillar, a statue of Iphitus being crowned by a woman Ecechiria (' truce'), as the distich inscribed on the statue declares. Within the temple also there are pillars, and there are galleries up above, through which there is an approach to the image. There is also a winding ascent to the roof. XI 1. The god is seated on a throne: he is made of gold and ivory: on his head is a wreath made in imitation of sprays of olive. In his right hand he carries a Victory, also...
