Describing Greece: Landscape and Literature in the Periegesis of Pausanias - Greek Culture in the Roman World
Hutton, William (College of William and Mary, Virginia)
Pausanias' Description of Greece is the most important non-fictional travel work in ancient Greek literature. It is here explored against contemporary literary currents and the archaeological remains of those places described. Pausanias emerges as a unique witness to what it meant to be a Greek subject of the Roman Empire.
