Alianza Editorial Descripcin de Grecia tica y lide
Escrita por quien pudo contemplar multitud de monumentos en su pleno esplendor, antes de que llegaran a convertirse en venerables ruinas del pasado, la ?Descripción de Grecia? ?verosímilmente producto de toda una vida? es uno de los textos capitales para el conocimiento de la Antigüedad. En ella, Pausanias (s. II d.C.) describió selectivamente, acaso al modo de una guía de viaje, santuarios, templos, altares, edificios públicos, esculturas y pinturas, adornando su relato con leyendas, tradiciones locales y acontecimientos históricos, y salpicando toda esta información con variadas anécdotas que evidencian su saber enciclopédico. La presente edición recoge los libros I, V y VI, consagrados a las regiones de Ática y Élide.Traducción e introducción de Camino Azcona

Harvard University Press Description of Greece, Volume V: Maps, Plans, Illustrations, and General Index
Antiquity’s original travel guide.Pausanias, born probably in Lydia in Asia Minor, was a Greek of the second century AD, about 120–180, who traveled widely not only in Asia Minor, Palestine, Egypt, and North Africa, but also in Greece and in Italy, including Rome. He left a description of Greece in ten books, which is like a topographical guidebook or tour of Attica, the Peloponnese, and central Greece, filled out with historical accounts and events and digressions on facts and wonders of nature. His chief interest was in monuments of art and architecture, especially the most famous of them; the accuracy of his descriptions is proved by surviving remains. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Pausanias is in five volumes; the fifth volume contains maps, plans, illustrations, and a general index.

Penguin Books Ltd Guide to Greece: Southern Greece
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.
