Neither easy nor difficult to read. Pausanias, the Spartan -- The haunted and the haunters; or, the house and the brain. Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Marc D'Hooghe and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Pausanias, the Spartan; The Haunted and the Haunters" by the late Lord Lytton is an unfinished historical romance likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Pausanias, the Regent of Sparta, exploring his complex character as he navigates the political intrigue and moral dilemmas of his time, highlighting his relationships and ambitions against the backdrop of ancient Greek history. At the start of this work, we are introduced to a rich tapestry of characters and settings. Two Athenian leaders, Aristides and Cimon, stand on the quays of Byzantium, observing Pausanias' lavish galley as the once-honorable Spartan begins to embrace the decadence associated with Persian influence. Cimon expresses shame for Pausanias’ perceived degeneration, while Aristides views his behavior as a potential disaster for Sparta that may benefit Athens. The tale unfolds with themes of rivalry and romance, particularly focusing on Pausanias’ tragic love for Cleonice, a Byzantine maiden, as the narrative hints at the darker supernatural elements that will haunt both Pausanias and the people around him. The opening chapters set the stage for intense political machinations, personal conflicts, and the haunting consequences of passion and ambition, making it clear that this historical romance is as much about human nature as it is about the events of the past.
