"Pausanias' Description of Greece, Volume II" by Pausanias is a historical account written in the late 2nd century AD. This work offers an extensive travelogue of ancient Greece, detailing its geography, culture, monuments, and historical events, particularly focusing on Achaia and the interactions of its inhabitants. The text serves as a critical resource for understanding the classical world and provides insights into the lives and traditions of the Greek people. The opening of this volume introduces Achaia, an area noted for its transition from ancient times when it was known as Ægialus to its later designation. Pausanias narrates the legend of its early kings, including Ion and his sons, who played crucial roles in the region's early history and conflicts, particularly involving the Ionians and the Achæans. He discusses various notable characters, historical events, and the shifts in power among Greek city-states, setting the stage for the rich tapestry of stories and descriptions that characterize the entirety of the work. Through these accounts, readers are transported into a time of myth and history, gaining a deeper appreciation for the significance of Achaia within the broader context of ancient Greece.
