[edit] Inventing History

Where does this account of Pausanius come from? Pausanius was recalled by the Spartans at the insistence of the League allies because of his reputed harshness and brutality. At least that is the account given by the leading historians of 5th century Greece (i.e. Meiggs, Rhodes, McGregor, etc.). Where does this account originate from?

[edit] Stupid Question by ignoramus

I'm sorry to even ask this, but I just saw the movie 300, and while obviously a fictional account, it place Pausanius at the Battle of Thermopylae. Is there any historical evidence of this? Quigonpaj 16:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
