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.
