Studies in Greek Scenery, Legend and History Selected from His Commentary on Pausanias' 'Description of Greece,'

"Studies in Greek Scenery, Legend and History" by James George Frazer is a careful look at ancient Greece through the eyes of Pausanias, a writer from long ago. Frazer introduces us to Greece as it was in the second century A.D., a time of peace under Roman rule, using Pausanias' writings as a guide. The book shows us the beauty of the Greek land, the ruins of an ancient culture, and the stories that were still being told. Frazer hopes to bring the wonders of Greece to people who might not be able to travel there, sharing the country’s scenic charm and legendary history with a modern audience.
