Recenzje

In her book, Hawes shows plausibly and conclusively that this phrase does not simply mean "Panhellenic" in relation to the myth, but rather "everything Hellenic" in its diversity and potentially conflicting differences: Panta ta Hellenika denotes the entirety of local ones traditions or specific myths and the equally specific way of storytelling, On the other hand anchor periegesis. Hawes has thus presented a study that defines the position of the work in the context of the culture of Imperial Greece and definitely enriches research on Pausanias.
