Can a Statue of a Bull be Exiled? Pausanias on the Greek Outlaws

• Languages of publication: EN PL

Abstracts

God, city resident, son of a king, orator, sculptor, a box with a woman and a child, a statue of a bull, a statue of an athlete, an axe, iron, wood, stone – is a far from complete list of “outlaws” in Pausanias’ Description of Greece. Periegeta combines all those living and lifeless elements, creating a Hellenic monument. He presents what he thinks was the driving force of history: exiles, escapes, displacements, forced migrations due to wars and fighting for power, murders, competition failures, plagues, poor harvests. It all led to creation of new cities, their names, colonization of new areas, erecting new temples and creating works of art. A detail was to become exceptionally famous both because of its artistic value and life wandering, or even disasters. Art and wandering are given the same value by Pausanias. It is confirmed by the exiled sculptures dealt with in Description. The articles also mentions envious gods as a source of exile and wandering, types of exiles: from common murderers to destructive objects; places and forms of exile, including changing into a stone; monuments to commemorate wicked outlaws and healing quality of exiled objects.
