| Summary | "Studies in Greek Scenery, Legend and History" by James George Frazer is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The text offers a detailed exploration of ancient Greek sites, landscapes, and myths, primarily drawn from Frazer's commentary on Pausanias' "Description of Greece." The focus of the book lies in illuminating the cultural and historical significance of Greece as experienced and described by Pausanias during the second century A.D. At the start of the book, Frazer provides an introduction to Pausanias and the historical context of his work. He notes that Pausanias' account is one of the few comprehensive descriptions of Greece to survive from antiquity, offering insight into the country during an era of relative peace under Roman rule. Frazer highlights how Pausanias documented the ruins and cultural heritage that remained from Greece’s glorious past, capturing both the beauty of the landscape and the remnants of its ancient civilization. The opening also establishes Frazer's aim: to share the charm of Greek scenery and its legendary past with a modern audience, especially those who may not have the opportunity to visit Greece themselves.
