Pausanias's Description of Greece is a comprehensive guidebook to ancient Greece, written by the Greek traveler Pausanias in the 2nd century AD. In this fourth volume, James G. Frazer provides a commentary on books VI-VIII of Pausanias's work. These books cover the regions of Elis, Arcadia, and Laconia, and include descriptions of important sites such as the Olympic Games, the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia, and the city of Sparta. Frazer's commentary provides historical and cultural context for Pausanias's descriptions, as well as insights into the ancient Greek worldview and religious practices. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek history and culture.In Six Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
