Originally a classical scholar, whose entire working life was spent at Trinity College, Cambridge, Frazer also produced this translation of and commentary on the works of Pausanias, the second-century CE traveller and antiquarian whose many references to myths and legends provided him with material for his great study of religion. The six-volume work was published in 1898, after the first edition of The Golden Bough (also reissued in this series), and while Frazer was working on material for the second. Volume 1 contains a preface, in which Frazer states his intention to provide 'a faithful and idiomatic rendering of Pausanias', his translation of the entire work, and notes on the text.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Translation\u003cbr\u003e Critical notes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Classical history \/ classical civilisation [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Classical history \/ classical civilisation\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Classical%20history%20\/%20classical%20civilisation%20%5BHBLA1%5D%22\"\u003eHBLA1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45908995408152,"sku":"9781108047234","price":47.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108047234i_fb0bdd42-8979-4e32-803d-5b6336a005f8.jpg?v=1696746756","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pausaniass-description-of-greece-paperback-9781108047234","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
