Pausanias (c. 110 – c. 180) was a Greek historian who travelled extensively during the 2nd century CE, and wrote of the things he saw.
Influence
Pausanias' main work, Description of Greece, described a number important landmarks, such as the Statue of Athena atop the Akropolis Sanctuary in Athens, Attika.[1] His other descriptions include but are not limited to the Temple of Aphrodite on top of Akrokorinth,[2] Agamemnon's Tomb in the ruins of Mycenae, [3], and the Sanctuary of Asklepios in Argolis.[4]
