Pausanias, Description of Greece
Pausanias’s Description of Greece, an eyewitness account of the cities and sanctuaries of the Greek mainland in the second century ce, is one of our richest sources for Greek myth. Although not written as a compendium of myth, Pausanias’s work always includes information about the mythological traditions associated with the places he visits. Most of this information comes from literary sources, both primary sources and compendia, but Pausanias al…

The Importance of Dio’s Travels
This chapter focuses on one unique aspect of Dio Chrysostom’s opus: as far as we can tell from the surviving writings of the major orators of the period, and from testimonia about their writing in other authors, Dio is unique among them in making his identity as a traveler a central part of his oratorical persona. The Euboean Discourse is famous for the story Dio tells of being shipwrecked on a remote part the Aegean island of Euboea, where he is…
Pausanias
Pausanias’s Periegesis, an historically and culturally selective topography of the lower Greek mainland, is unlike any work produced in the Second Sophistic, but there are several features of the text that render it difficult to imagine it as the product of any other period. Pausanias shares with his sophistic contemporaries a nostalgia for the glories of classical Greece, a tendency toward religiosity, a moralistic outlook on history, and a lite…

The Fossil Flora of Great Britain
Employed early on in his career by Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist John Lindley (1799–1865) went on to conduct important research on the orchid family and also recommended that Kew Gardens should become a national botanical institution. This pioneering three-volume work of palaeobotany, first published between 1831 and 1837, catalogues almost 300 species of fossil plants from the Pleistocene to the Carboniferous period. The geologist and palaeonto…

Describing Greece
The Periegesis Hellados (Description of Greece) by Pausanias is the most important example of non-fictional travel literature in ancient Greek.
