Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"[...]those, who had lost their lives in fighting for their country, should they survive them. The individuals of every family killed one another, and none escaped this murderous expedition but those whose hands were tied, or were otherwise kept from destroying themselves. Nothing now remains of the ancient town, but a few insignificant ruins in the neighbourhood of the modern one[1]. NO. II.-ABYDUS.[...]".

Excerpt from Ruins of Ancient Cities, Vol. 2 of 2: With General and Particular Accounts of Their Rise, Fall, and Present Condition Pausanias* appears to have had great interest in the history of the Messenians, for his history of their wars is more minute and animated than any other part of his narrative. His account of the city gives us a grand idea of what it must once have been; and the present splendid remains produce a conviction of his veracity.
