A reader for travel-study in Greece

Abstract

The essays in this reader are designed to supplement visits by travel­study groups to sites and museums in Greece. Each essay focuses on things to see­or at least to note if they cannot be seen­at sites to be visited. In cases where a museum adjoins a site, I offer a separate inventory of things to see. Wherever possible, I use as my primary ancient source the reportage of the ancient traveler Pausanias, who lived in the second century CE and whose Greek text is translated into English at a web­site entitled A Pausanias Reader in Progress. At that site, the original English translation of W. H. S. Jones and H. A. Ormerod (1918) is being gradually replaced by my own translation.
