I present a revised translation of the text of Pausanias that I cover here, with most sections followed by subject headings and, occasionally, by comments.
I focus on what Pausanias will be reporting at 1.11.1, where we read that a Greek king named Pyrrhos-son-of-Aiakidēs claimed as his ancestor, counting twenty generations backward in time, the Greek hero Pyrrhos-son-of-Achilles. I marvel at what seems to me such an intriguingly short span of time separating the king in history from the hero in epic.
