The Periegesis Hellados (Description of Greece) by Pausanias is the most important example of non-fictional travel literature in ancient Greek. With this work Professor Hutton provides the first book-length literary study of the Periegesis Hellados in nearly one hundred years. He examines Pausanias' arrangement and expression of his material and evaluates his authorial choices in light of the contemporary literary currents of the day and in light of the cultural milieu of the Roman empire in the time of Hadrian and the Antonines. The descriptions offered in the Periegesis Hellados are also examined in the context of the archaeological evidence available for the places Pausanias visited. This study reveals Pausanias to be a surprisingly sophisticated literary craftsman and a unique witness to Greek identity at a time when that identity was never more conflicted.

Pausanias is the second century Greek travelographer who is most well known for his "Description of Greece." This work is often cited as an important firsthand account of ancient Greece which provides a crucial link between classical literature and modern archaeology. "Description of Greece" is composed of ten books describing the various regions in which Pausanias traveled, they are as follows: 1. Attica, 2. Corinth, 3. Laconia, 4. Messenia, 5. Elis, 6. Elis (continued), 7. Achaia, 8. Arcadia, 9. Boetia, and 10. Phocis and Ozolian Locris. Pausanias' "Description of Greece" is a richly detailed description of the art and culture of ancient Greece which gives the reader and historian a context for understanding those items of art and culture which have survived to the present as well as an appreciation for all that has been lost to history. While primarily focused on the art and architecture of the time, Pausanias' work also details some aspects of the natural landscape as well as the more trivial aspects of daily life. The Greece that Pausanias describes is one that is beholden to Rome and his work makes an effort to navigate the balance between a formerly independent Greece and the one of his time. Presented here in the first volume are the first six books in a translation by Arthur Richard Shiletto.
