Pausanias of Athens

Pausanias (/pɔːˈseɪniəs/; Greek: Παυσανίας; fl. c. 420 BCE) was an ancient Athenian of the deme Kerameis, and was the lover of the poet Agathon.

Although Pausanias is given a significant speaking part in Plato's Symposium, very little is known about him. Ancient anecdotes tend to address only his relationship with Agathon and give us no information about his personal accomplishments. Around 407 he removed himself from Athens to the court of the Macedonian king, Archelaus.

Pausanias appears briefly in two other Socratic dialogues, Plato's Protagoras and Xenophon's Symposium. He is also mentioned in Book V of Athenaeus' Deipnosophistae, and in Book II of Claudius Aelianus' Varia Historia.

Anywhere But Here

by: Business

I would like to meet Billy Kardoff
I would like to go to the pub
But im stuck here with me own company
My friend this is really tough
[Chorus:]
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
I would like to be upon the sea
or anywhere but here
I would like to ride a motorbike
I would like to drink with me mates
I would like to go to the cinema
And have me way with a date
[Chorus]
I would like to go to the palace
To pick up me MBE
I would like to go up to heaven
And sit on gods right knee
