8. Considering Works of Art classical art by the most illustrious old masters, and where art is central to community life. This seductive but scarcely realistic image had a strong impact on later ideas about Greece and Greek art which will be considered in the following chapters. 117
9 Pausanias and his Readers We cannot refrain from expressing the hope that we may yet see a worthy English translation of the Periegesis. No edition annotated by the light of modern archaeological discovery exists, we believe, in any language. When we recall the splendid illustrations that the excavations of the last quarter century – nay, even the last decade – have prepared for such a work, we cannot fail to perceive what a fine field of research and erudition awaits the scholar who should undertake an edition of Pausanias on the lines of Canon Rawlinson’s Herodotus. To be worthily executed such a work would demand the labour of more years than most men are willing to devote to a single object; but once accomplished, it would ensure its author an honourable and lasting name in literature.’ (G.F. Bowen in Murray (1884) 94) This demand to make Pausanias finally accessible to those without a full classical education was made in the introduction to one of the earliest modern travel guides to Greece. 1 The author was thinking of the value of the Periegesis for interested travellers, but he expected that its impact would not be confined just to this specialised sphere. Little did he know that in the same year J.G. Frazer had just started to work on his translation and commentary that were to answer his wishes in a more than adequate manner, although the completion of his work was to take fourteen years. Bowen’s statement illustrates the general interest, partly fuelled by new archaeological discoveries in Greece, that would lead to about twenty years of intensive research and scholarly discussion of the Periegesis. The story of Pausanias appreciation, however, began much earlier. After his work came to Europe in the early fifteenth century it was translated into several languages, including English. In fact, the earliest translation into Latin appeared in 1500, several years before the first printed edition of the original text (Musurus, 1516). Another Latin translation was published around 1547, followed by an Italian one in 1593. The eighteenth century saw further translations into French (1731-3), German (1765-6, 1798-9), two into English (1780 and 1793), and a new Italian version (1792-3), with further editions and translations in the nineteenth century. 2 Pausanias clearly had many readers long before it became relatively easy to test the qualities of his description by visiting Greece. Many who wanted to find out more about ancient Greek culture, particularly mythology, art and religion, read the Periegesis with interest. A full study of Pausanias’ readers and their reactions to the Periegesis since its re-discovery in the early Renaissance is beyond the scope of this 118
