Andrew Stewart, One Hundred Greek Sculptors

I can't find any bibliographical details about this book. I take it this is the living Andrew Stewart who's written on Greek sculpture, not someone quoted by the 1911 Britannica? I can't track down date, publisher, or ISBN. The text of the book is given on the Perseus site but that doesn't have any details either; it does have an ISBN, but it's for the wrong book. Petrouchka 00:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC) Re.: Andrew Steward: In any case, that citation, and all that goes with it should probably be removed.

Generally, the whole article is full of very oldfashioned thinking about Pausanias. Check out Hutton's and Pretzler's books, and the Alcock/Cherry/Elsner edited volume (as in the bibliography). Habicht (1985) is simply outdated now, and the article pretty much summarises what he and older writers say.

Pausanias' language is no longer seen as clumsy, a number of references have turned up in recent years (so we have to assume that he was in fact read).

The question is whether this should get a pretty thorough re-write... a lot of this is simply judgemental in a very oldfashioned (and now thoroughly outdated) way - all taken from sources which are simply too old, it seems. Megalopolitan (talk) 23:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Move to Pausanias (travel writer)?

Pausanias was not a geographer but a travel writer as should be clear as soon as you start to read his work.Dejvid (talk) 15:47, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

@Dejvid: He was both. The ancient Greeks did not really have a clear distinction between the two. "Geographer" is the term ancient writers would have probably used to describe him with. "Travel writer" is more of a modern designation. I would be fine with either title for the article. "Travel writer" is probably more specific. --Katolophyromai (talk) 18:24, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Pausaniou ElladOs PeriiEgEseOs

Title page for Pausanias shows a Photograph of a book With a Beautifully Illuminated Portrait Showing Title spellings in Block Greek Capital Letters that seem to differ from its accompanying article.

I only approximate transliteration thusly:

Pausaniou ElladOs PeriiEgEseOs

Will a Greek Scholar Please explain this discrepency with Pausanias Ellados Periegesis?

Thank you. 🐱🐱🐱 FritzYCat (talk) 04:44, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
