He examines Pausanias' arrangement and expression of his material and evaluates his authorial choices in light of the contemporary literary currents of the day and the cultural milieu of the Roman empire in the time of Hadrian and the Antonines. The descriptions offered in the Periegesis Hellados are also examined in the context of the archaeological evidence available for the places Pausanias visited.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47613452648599,"sku":"9780521847209","price":14501.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521847209.webp?v=1775085306","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/describing-greece-landscape-and-literature-in-the-periegesis-of-pausanias-9780521847209","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
