“Most Worth Remembering”: Pausanias, Analogy, and Classical Archaeology

Abstract

Pausanias is one of the key ancient authors used by classical archaeologists.\nHis Periegesis Hellados or Description of Greece has long been used to complement and supplement our understanding of material remains. Recent approaches have sought to emphasize the value of Pausanias as a literary source, and not just a topographic \nreporter. This article assesses the impact of Pausanias on archaeological and historical\nmodes of thinking, and suggests ways in which the literary reading of the text may be \nintegrated into our understanding of material remains.
