Persons in Pausanias’ Periegesis Displayed in Four Different Tables

With Links to Wikidata and to Book Sections

2024-04-30

You can download all four tables as CSV, XML or JSON files, or you can search in them and download the search results. Please read the information about searching and sorting the table, which you can see by clicking on the question mark (?) on the top of the tables.

The tables include the following four sorting alternatives:

1. By Alphabet: Persons are sorted alphabetically, by their annotation names, which are repeated if they are encountered in different Book Sections.
2. By Section: Books, Chapters and Sections are sorted numerically, from Book 1 to 10,. The same Book Section is repeated for every Person Name mentioned in it, and the same Person names can be repeated if they are mentioned in different sections.
3. Grouped Within Sections: Includes numerically sorted distinct Book Section, where all Person Names within a section are alphabetically grouped together into a table column.
4. Within Grouped Sections: Includes alphabetically sorted distinct Person Names, while all Book Sections where the same Person Name is encountered are grouped together as a list into a table column.
   
   However, distinct Person Names might not be unique persons, as they might refer to different (historical or mythical) personal entities.
   • Person names with the same external Link are listed once, as distinct names, referring probably to a unique personal entity. Else, they are listed separately, as different personal entities.
   • The description (TAGS and COMMENT) of every distinct Personal Name is also included in a separate table column. If a distinct name is encountered in different sections, its respective descriptions are grouped together in a numeric list corresponding to the list of sections.
   • Obs! Person Names without external link are listed once, as distinct names, although they usually refer to different entities. However, you can compare the parallel lists of sections and descriptions to figure out their differences.
