In this work the aim has been to give, first, a faithful and idiomatic rendering of Pausanias, and second, a Commentary which shall illustrate his description of ancient Greece by the light of modern research. It is safe to say that for no Greek author have the illustrative materials been accumulated in such profusion as for Pausanias. Within the present century Greece has been explored by a succession of scholarly travellers, many of its most important sites have been excavated, its buildings measured and described, its artistic treasures collected, compared, and criticised. The many-sided results of these researches are dispersed and too often buried in a motley multitude of publications—in learned journals and the proceedings and transactions of societies, academies, and institutions, as well as in an almost endless array of separate books and pamphlets. To collect from these multifarious sources the scattered rays of light and to concentrate them on Pausanias, or rather on his subject, ancient Greece, has been one of the chief objects in writing the Commentary. The general purpose has been to present a fairly complete picture of ancient Greece, its monuments and its scenery, so far as that can be done from a study of the descriptions of classical authors, the existing remains of antiquity, and the appearance of the country at the present day.
