He left a description of Greece in ten books, which is  like a topographical guidebook or tour of Attica, the Peloponnese, and  central Greece, filled out with historical accounts and events and  digressions on facts and wonders of nature. His chief interest was in  monuments of art and architecture, especially the most famous of them;  the accuracy of his descriptions is proved by surviving remains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Loeb Classical Library edition of Pausanias is in five volumes; the  fifth volume contains maps, plans, illustrations, and a general index.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262920905048,"sku":"9780674992078","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674992078.jpg?v=1778733076","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/description-of-greece-volume-ii","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
