By Pausanias.

"Pausaniae Descriptio Græciæ" by Pausanias is a geo-historiographical treatise written in the second century AD. Divided into ten books, this monumental work guides readers through ancient Greece's regions, documenting cities, monuments, local customs, and myths. Pausanias draws from classical historians like Herodotus and Thucydides, creating an invaluable record of sites and events. Though imprecise at times, his descriptions provide irreplaceable historical evidence, especially for locations otherwise unknown to us. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
