Pausanias of Sicily — Wikipedia Republished // WIKI 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pausanias (Greek: Παυσανίας; fl. 5th century BC) was a native of Sicily, Magna Graecia, who belonged to the family of the Asclepiadae, and whose father's name was Anchitus. He was a physician, and an eromenos^[1] of the philosopher Empedocles, who dedicated to him his poem On Nature.^[2] There is extant a Greek epigram on this Pausanias, which the Greek Anthology attributes to Simonides,^[3] but Diogenes Laërtius to Empedocles.^[4] These two sources also differ as to whether he was born, or buried, at Gela in Sicily.
