  Polygnotos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
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.

  Prytaneum - LoveToKnow Watches   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In general in ancient Greece, each state, city or village possessed its own central hearth and sacred fire, representing the unity and vitality of the community.
Rulers of this name are found at Rhodes as late as the 1st century B.C. The Prytaneum was regarded as the religious and political centre of the community and was thus the nucleus of all government, and the official " home " of the whole people.
The Prytaneum, mentioned by Pausanias, and probably the original centre of the ancient city, was situated somewhere east of the northern cliff of the Acropolis.

After his death in 323, the city was under the leadership of one of the generals of Alexander the Great, Antigonos, but more or less governed itself.

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.
The order of the games in our day is to sacrifice victims to the gods and then to contend in the pentathlon and horse-race, according to the programme established in the 77th Olympiad, for before this horses and men contended on the same day.

Second, at the point when the Persian fleet was at the attack, he persuaded the citizens to abandon Athens altogether, sending the women, children and old men south, and co-opting every able-bodied man and boy in the city for his navy.
At Plataea-Clay, two important things happen: Mardonius, the seasoned Persian general dies—he is succeeded by Artabazus—and Latro, the Italian mercenary, is bonked on the head and then captured, together with his fellow mercenary, the Ethiopian Seven Lions.
When they are taken to Hill, remember that the Thebans are in disgrace; it is wise of little Io to cling to whoever looks strong enough to save her; the Theban poet Pindaros, from an aristocratic and political family, is in a far better position.

Nearby was a large temple of Ares, and not far away the altar of the twelve gods, generally understood as Zeus and his court of Olympians.
Pausanius reported the "altar of unknown gods" at the national shrine of Olympia; he had also seen "altars of the gods named unknown" in the Athenian harbor area.

They do not want to admit that there are any specific parallels, but their theory of memory substitution requires at least a few general similarities between the two stories; otherwise, the witnesses would not have confused Fabius's narrative with the Book of Mormon.
Lobaska tells the Sciotans to be generous and refrain from shedding blood, and Hadoram, king of the Sciotans, demands that the Kentucks surrender their arms, just as Moroni commands his men to stop shedding the blood of the Lamanites and tells Zerahemnah's men to deliver up their weapons.

 The Angels of 1 Corinthians 11:10
This line of thought points to either angels in general, that is, as ambivalently understood, or to evil angels; and we have a convergence of one or the other of such angels with women in Genesis 6:1-4, angels who mated with human females.
Alternatively, a head covering may have rendered a woman's praying and prophesying generally acceptable in the immediate cultural context, not because it comported with the practices of other religious groups, but because fundamentally it could not be faulted and it had some measure of sacred explanation.
The mystery is removed; and any reader of any generation, from the original audience to the present one, can hardly complain of too obscure a meaning, since it is given in the immediately preceding verses.

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.
Alcibiades, a slippery Athenian politician, once entered seven teams of horses in the chariot race, an event in which the owner, not the driver, was generally considered the victor.

 Archaeopaedia: Royal Stoa
This inscription from Pausanius identifies the Royal Stoa, which was the ancient seat of the King Archon during the Archaic period.
The general consensus is that the buildling was originally constructed in the 6th century and reconstructed after its destruction in the Persian invasions of 480 BC, which would accoutn for the reused material found in the foundation of the later building.
The Royal Stoa served a very important state function in the early years of Athenian government; as two inscribed bases on the steps of the stoa attest, it was the seat of the "King Archon," one of the heads of the Athenian government as designed by Solon.

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.
Giles does not speak nostalgically or lovingly of his late wife, if he mentions her at all, and he comments that they never had children, suggesting that there was minimal romance between them.

Now descended from Bias five men, Neleids on their mother's side, occupied the throne for four generations down to Cyanippus, son of Aegialeus, and descended from Melampus six men in six generations down to Amphilochus, son of Amphiaraus.[2.18.5] But the native house of the family of Anaxagoras ruled longer than the other two.

The law of Pausanius' lover is service to the beloved.
But the boundaries of time and glance and I love you are only aftershocks of the main, inevitable boundary that creates Eros: the boundary of flesh and self between you and me. And it is only, suddenly, at the moment when I would dissolve that boundary, I realize I never can.
Pausanius presents the lover as older and wiser with a responsibility to teach the beloved.

I found a topic written by Pausanius (the Henchman AI guy) on this forum asking very similar questions to this with no replies from a couple of months ago.
As mentioned, Brent has been working on upgrading the general AI in the game (not the Henchmen specifically), especially with regards to spell selection.
The original reason I investigated Pausanius' scripts was that my city guard were switching from halberds to longbows at range, and then putting away their longbows and using their fists up close, apparently forgetting about that big bladed stick strapped to their back.

Normally, had he been related to General Attalus by marriage, he, too, would have been executed when Attalus was condemned.
It’s likely that Pausanius and Attalos were the assigned killers; Attalos decided against action when Philip changed the entry plan, Pausanius responded to the moment.
