	Polygnotos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pausanius is however more interested in the mythological narrative than the stylistic elements--he mentions little about color or the treatment of the background.
		A striking feature of Pausanius' description is that the figures are placed on varying levels in the composition, not on a single ground line as is the case in previous vase painting.
		Pausanius was interested in the mythological narrative of the painting and the identity of the figures, most of whom were named by inscriptions.

		Philip graciously proclaims Pausanius, sharing his couch, the lord of the feast whose job it is to decide on the ratio of wine to water in the drink.
		It surely isn't the replacing by Pausanius in Philip's bed, or couch, or wherever he decides to satisfy his lust, though the position is one of influence and that may be a cause of ill will.
		Pausanius smells the musky scent which is part her own aroma, part the perfumed oils she rubs into her skin.

	The Second Persian War
		Some believe that the Athenians refused to obey Pausanius' order to withdraw, which caused them to be cut off from the rest of the army which had proceeded as planned toward Mount Citherae.
		Realizing that he and his Spartans would have to take the brunt of the Persian attack, Pausanius sent to the already embattled Athenians requesting assistance, but they were by now pinned down and could not respond.
		When the Persian infantry was engaged with the Spartans, Pausanius decided to take advantage of the congestion caused in the Persian ranks by their numbers and launched a counter-attack.

		Gathering material for his book Perieigeisis teis Ellados, or Description of Greece, Pausanius visited the site of the Games, Olympia in western Greece, in the 2nd Century A.D. The entrance to the stadium, he found, was lined by statues of Zeus.
		Pausanius dryly reports that the judges proclaimed Arrhachion the victor and crowned his corpse.
		In her excitement at his victory, she leapt in the air and, as underwear hadn't been invented, her secret was revealed.

	The lesser known Mysteries
		Pausanius equates Despoina with Kore, and the Arcadian people believed that the rites of Eleusis and Arcadia were the same.
		Pausanius also refers to the mysterious Demeter Kidaria, in whose name a priest dons a mask of Demeter and beats the 'Underground Folk' during the 'Greater Rites' of the Arcadian Mysteries.
		This may be connected to an observation by Pausanius, who tells us of a great fire and foaming blood where Zeus is born anew in the cave every year, as witnessed by the Kouretes.

	Rule Violations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Phormis of Halicarnassus, at the 97th Olympiad, is considered to be the first athlete to have violated the Olympic statutes, but he was hardly the last to have done so (Pausanius 5.21.2).
		An Egyptian Olympic athlete was convicted by the Eleans of a misdemeanor because he did not arrive by the prescribed time for a game, failed to accept his subsequent disqualification, and pummeled the man who would have been his competitor (Pausanius 5.21.14).
		Pausanius notes that at Delphi, a certain Cleomedes killed a certain Iccus during a boxing match, was convicted of foul play by the umpires, and was ultimately stripped of his prize.

		Despite the inherent interest of the text, Pausanius has not been frequently printed.
		This reprint of the 1583 edition by Xylander and Sylburg is the only the third appearance of the text in Greek, although the Aldine press had printed it for the first time in 1516.
		Pausanius’ descriptions are so detailed, that they have enabled modern archaeologists to identify buildings and even works of art in such places as Athens, Olympia and Delphi.

		Pausanius sent messengers swiftly to recall the other Greek contingents as he drew up the Spartans on their ridge to face the advancing Persians.
		Pausanius held his troops on the ridge against, first, Persian cavalry then ever increasing numbers of Persian archers while he waited for the omens to be favourable.

	truth in wine and children...
		Pausanius, reputed for little other than being Agathon’s lover, presents the famous dichotomy between Uranian love and Pandemic love.
		Pausanius shares the view that Eros is the youngest god, son of Aphrodite.
		Ideally, says Pausanius, this relationship is to represent Uranian (heavenly) love in that the older man, or lover, is a teacher and mentor to the youth (beloved), as opposed to the older man lasciviously desiring the youth only to leave him once his beauty fades.

	History of Iris - Greek godess of the rainbow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pausanius reports that in Corynthe the women would make wreaths of irisses; they carry the symbols for mourning.
		With Hermes she is compared because of her function as the power of the word or speech, and Pausanius brings both names in etymological in connection with Eirein, which means the use of speech.
		In the Odyssee she must persuade the Gods with her orators talent, of which she makes use with convincing word-choice and her talent to imitate the shape and intonation of others.

	Enjoying "Prometheus Bound", by Aeschylus
		Pausanius (Description of Greece 10.4.4) describes a shrine at Panopeus, where there was an image that some say was Prometheus.
		This, then, he regarded, and honored his famous son; though he was angry, he ceased from the wrath which he had before because Prometheus matched himself in wit with the almighty son of Cronos.
		Apollonius and Pausanius both retell the story of the theft of fire and Prometheus's being nailed to Mount Caucasus.

		But the Athenians had evacuated the city by sea, and under Themistocles they defeated the Persian fleet at the Battle of Salamis.
		A year later the Greeks under the Spartan Pausanius defeated the Persian army at Plataea.
		The Athenian fleet then turned to chasing the Persians out of the Aegean Sea, and in 478 they captured Byzantium.

		Demeter’s depiction elsewhere, and particularly in Arcadia, reveals a hybrid and implacable Goddess; head of a horse, snakes for hair, grasping a dolphin in one hand and a dove in the other.
		Pausanius tells us that the Arcardians celebrated the Mysteries of Demeter and her daughter Despoina (The Mistress) by Poseidon.
		Pausanius considered the Messenian rites in the Karnasian cypress grove to be ‘second only’ to Eleusis.

		The old writer parallels the Symposium’s Pausanius and the young actor, Phaedrus and Agathon, and the odd connection between them corresponds to elements of Eros “adorned” in Plato’s work.
		Like Giles, Pausanius is a pedantic, unattractive, and somewhat crotchety older man. They are both established, Giles as a writer and Pausanius as a well-known master of rhetoric.
		Pausanius proposes that heterosexual love is a vulgar and corporeal love, the main objective of which is to produce children.

		Subject: Re: (urth) Arete questions Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 17:04:41 +0000 One thing that seems uncertain to me about the Pausanius speculation is the original reading of Diana's words, specifically what is meant by "this queen" and "my queen".
		If this is the case then Latro foiled her plan (and Demeter may have been somewhat appeased).

	Houghton Mifflin Textbook - Primary Sources
		Many scholars have concluded that the Games were an institution that provided a much needed space and time for the scattered and independent city-states of Greece to send their champions and in some fashion reaffirm their ties as Greeks.
		Pausanius, often referred to as the Baedeker of ancient Greece for his fabulous travel guides, here details various events in which the Greek athletes competed, ranging from running, to wrestling, to pentathlon, as well as some of the past champions.
		But most games have a crown of palm as the prize, and everywhere the palm is put into the right hand of the victor.

		In the spring of 479 B.C. the Spartans under Pausanius marched north and were joined by the Athenian and other Greek contigents.
		After being attacked by some persian cavalry, the Greeks moved north to a ridge between Mount Cithaeron and the Asopus river, north of which lied the Persian Army.
		After eight days and due to a persian raid on their supply lines, the Pausanius and the other generals decided to withdraw to their original positions at the foothills of the mountain.

		Pausanius provides a description of the statue of Zeus and the temple area at Olympia.

		Some scholars have speculated that the curtain was one taken from the temple in Jerusalem, when Antiochus plundered its treasures.

		The most interesting thing about the whole account is that Phaedrus may be making an appeal, just as Cohen is, to the glorious past of Greece, in order to justify his claim about lovers in the army!
		It is one that neither Pausanius, nor the rest of the company wholeheartedly advocate.
		As to the comments regarding the indiscriminate mixing of history and philosophy, even non-Hegelians occasionally ask if either of the two can ever be adequately understood in a vacuum.

	Atlantis and the Greeks
		If, before he died in 1890, this intuitive man had been fortunate enough to read Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine, he might have learned that the Trojan War coincided with the cycle of events described in the Mahabharata, and that Homer's Iliad was but a copy of the Ramayana.
		Homer declared that Agamemnon and Clytemnestra had lived in Mycenae, and, according to Pausanius, they were buried there.
		Pausanius said that "the walls of Tiryns were built by the Cyclopes," and Euripides called the plain of Argos the "Cyclopean land." The identity of the Cyclopes is shrouded in mystery.

	Re: Mare-headed Mother
		Regarding Apuleius' mention of the shrine of a Mare-headed Mother, that may have been borrowed from Pausanius "Periegesis" to add some local flavor to Apuleius' story.
		Anyway, Pausanius does speak of a shrine in Greece, a cave in which there was an unnamed mare-headed goddess.
		I think, if I remember right, that Pausanius said this daughter of Ceres had no name, too ashamed ever to leave the cave.

		No one expected that during the procession, the crazed bodyguard Pausanius would lunge at Philip and stab him to death right in the middle of Cleopatra's wedding.
		Fortunately for Alexander, Philip and Olympias had resolved their differences and Olympias was back in the Macedonian court at Philip's side when it happened so Alexander had his mother's support when he needed it the most.
		For killing Pausanius before he could be interrogated, Alexander placed blame on the bodyguards and had them executed.

		Ships are not represented often on a vases, but some examples are: a cup showing Dionysos in a ship by Exekias, the Francois Vase, a vase in the British Museum, and one from Ruvo in Naples (Jatta 1501 ARV1338,1) (Athenian Red Figure Vases: the Classical Period fig 324) from which I took the gangway.
		What Pausanius calls "boat-hooks" seem like they might be the rudders of the ship, since in vase painting there seem to be always two rudders, and figures in ships do not hold any other sort of hooks or poles.
