Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Attica of Pausanias The text adopted in this volume is that of the Hitzig-Bluemner edition of Pausanias (Berlin, 1896), with certain changes in typography and punctuation to conform to the style of the series in which it appears. The Hitzig text presents a careful revision of the Schubart text and critical apparatus (which had not been corrected for forty years) in the light of new studies and discoveries up to 1896. The later text of Spiro (Teubner, 1903) differs from that of Hitzig only in minor details. As the present work is primarily archaeological in its purpose, textual criticism is avoided, and the reader is referred to the Hitzig-Bluemner edition for details in these matters. In the preparation of the Introduction, Notes, and Excursuses, the editor is conscious of his indebtedness to the Hitzig-Bluemner commentary and to the monumental work of Frazer (Pausanias's Description of Greece, translated with a Commentary, in six volumes. London, 1898). So thoroughly have these scholars done their work that in the preparation of a college edition they may be relied on for an accurate summary of the literature on the Attica up to the time of the publication of their works, and the chief task of the editor is to appraise the matter they present in the light of later contributions, to bring the discussions up to date, and to select what is essential to meet the needs of students. On account of the size and cost of these two important works, they are not readily accessible to any but specialists.

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.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Athens written by John M. Camp and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive work on the monuments of ancient Athens and Attica In this book, a leading authority on the archaeology of ancient Greece presents a survey of the monuments—first chronologically and then site by site. John M. Camp begins with a comprehensive narrative history of the monuments from the earliest times to the sixth century A.D. Drawing on literary and epigraphic evidence, including Plutarch’s biographies, Pausanias’s guidebook, and thousands of inscriptions, he discusses who built a given structure, when, and why. Camp presents dozens of passages in translation, allowing the reader easy access to the variety and richness of the ancient sources. In effect, this main part of the book provides an engrossing history of ancient Athens as recorded in its archaeological remains. The second section of the book offers in-depth discussions of individual sites in their physical context, including accounts of excavations in the modern era. Written in a clear and engaging style and lavishly illustrated, Camp’s archaeological tour of Athens is certain to appeal not only to scholars and students but also to visitors to the area.
Download or read book Ripe for Revolution written by Jeremy Friedman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical account of ideology in the Global South as the postwar laboratory of socialism, its legacy following the Cold War, and the continuing influence of socialist ideas worldwide. In the first decades after World War II, many newly independent Asian and African countries and established Latin American states pursued a socialist development model. Jeremy Friedman traces the socialist experiment over forty years through the experience of five countries: Indonesia, Chile, Tanzania, Angola, and Iran. These states sought paths to socialism without formal adherence to the Soviet bloc or the programs that Soviets, East Germans, Cubans, Chinese, and other outsiders tried to promote. Instead, they attempted to forge new models of socialist development through their own trial and error, together with the help of existing socialist countries, demonstrating the flexibility and adaptability of socialism. All five countries would become Cold War battlegrounds and regional models, as new policies in one shaped evolving conceptions of development in another. Lessons from the collapse of democracy in Indonesia were later applied in Chile, just as the challenge of political Islam in Indonesia informed the policies of the left in Iran. Efforts to build agrarian economies in West Africa influenced TanzaniaÕs approach to socialism, which in turn influenced the trajectory of the Angolan model. Ripe for Revolution shows socialism as more adaptable and pragmatic than often supposed. When we view it through the prism of a Stalinist orthodoxy, we miss its real effects and legacies, both good and bad. To understand how socialism succeeds and fails, and to grasp its evolution and potential horizons, we must do more than read manifestos. We must attend to history.

Book excerpt: Pausanias, the Greek historian and traveler, lived and wrote around the second century AD, during the period when Greece had fallen peacefully to the Roman Empire.

This collection uses Pausanias as a multifaceted lens yielding indispensable information about the cultural world of Roman Greece.
Download or read book Pausanias s Description of Greece Vol 1 of 6 Classic Reprint written by J. G. Frazer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
