Bøger af Pausanias

Pausanias på dansk – komplet for første gangHelligdomme, templer, ritualer, gude- og atletstatuer – historie, natur, religion og myter – indviklede mytologiske fortællinger og gudernes erotiske eskapader – evindelige krige mellem byernes magtfulde familier, glorværdige sejre og forsmædelige nederlag, svig og bedrag – alt går hånd i hånd, når Pausanias har ordet.Pausanias blev født i den vestlige græske del af Tyrkiet i begyndelsen af 2. årh. e.Kr., mens den græskvenlige Hadrian var kejser i det vidtstrakte Romerrige, og han døde under kejser Marcus Aurelius. Han begynder sin beskrivelse ved Kap Sunion i Attika og tager os med på en tur gennem det klassiske frie Grækenlands vigtigste områder. Hans hensigt er at skildre ‘alt det græske’ fra storhedstiden, 600- til 300-tallet f.Kr. Det gælder især det, han kan opsøge og se med egne øjne, men også det han kan læse sig til eller får fortalt undervejs.Udgangspunktet er således Attika med Athen, grækernes toneangivende by. Derfra går turen videre – ikke straks til den vigtige by Theben i Boiotien eller til den store Apollonhelligdom i Delfi – men først til Peloponnes, som behandles grundigt. Overalt beskrives levn fra denne storhedstid – templer, gravmæler og storslåede vægmalerier samt de utallige statuer af sejrende atleter opstillet i den store Zeushelligdom i Olympia.Pausanias’ værk bliver på denne måde en af vores bedste kilder til både historie, religion og kunst i klassisk græsk tid.
