Excerpt from The Description of Greece, Vol. 3 of 3 Attic land: and the Flatasen ses are near the Eleutherenses. But the whole nation of the Boeotians derived its name from Boeotus, who they say was the son of Itonus, and the nymph Melanippe. They add, that Itonus was the son of Am phictyon. Many of their towns too are denominated from: men, but a still greater number from women. The Pla tmenses indeed were, as it appears to me, natives of Bmotia from the first; but they are of opinion that they derived their name from Plataea, the daughter of a river. It is, however, evident that the Platmenses reigned here in ancient times. For all Greece formerly was in subjection to royal authority, and there was no such thing as a democracy to be found among them. But the Plataeenses do not know any thing of their kings except Asopus, and Cithaeron who was prior to asopus: and they say that one of these gave a name to a mountain, and the other to a river.

Excerpt from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 3 of 6: Translated With a Commentary Melicertes is represented stretched on the back of a dolphin under the pine-tree (imhoof-blumer and Gardner, Num. Comm. On Paus. P. 10 so., with pl. B i-vi.) The crown of pine-leaves which was at first the prize in the Isthmian games was perhaps supposed to be made from this particular tree; for the Isthmian games were instituted in honour of Melicertes (paus. I. 44. Afterwards a crown of fig. I.-palaemon on celery was substituted, and at a still later time the dolphin under prize was again a crown of pine-leaves. See Plu 552i?) (coin tarch, Quaest.

Excerpt from A Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Greece, Vol. 2 of 3: With a Map and Plan of Athens The earliest accounts represent this province as inhabited by the Leleges, Curetes, and Teleboae, barbarous nations; which appear to have occupied also several other parts of Greece before the Pelasgi had overspread that country. Hecataeus of Miletus, and Aristotle, as quoted by Strabo, are the chief authorities upon which we must rely for this state ment. (vii: p.

Excerpt from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 Mr. Gurlitt concludes that the second book of Pausanias was written after 16 5 a.d. Even the first book, according to him, must be dated not earlier than 143 a.d. His reason is that when Pausanias wrote this book the stadium at Athens had already been rebuilt of white marble by Herodes Atticus,1 and that the reconstruction cannot, if Professor C. Wachsmuth is right,2 have been begun before 143 a.d. Or a little earlier. With regard to the other books, the evidence, scanty as it is, is less conflicting. The fifth book, as we have seen, was composed in the year 174 a.d. The eighth book, in which mention is made of the victory of Marcus Antoninus over the Germans,3 must have been written after 166 a.d., the year when the German war broke out, and may have been written in or after 176 a.d., the year in which the emperor celebrated a triumph for his success. In the tenth book occurs the reference to the inroad of the Costobocs 4 hence the book was written between 166 and 180 a.d. Further, the references which Pausanias makes both forwards and backwards to the several parts of his work show that the books were written in the order in which they now stand.5 Hence books six to ten cannot have been composed earlier and may have been composed a good deal later than 174 a.d., the year in which our author was engaged on his fifth book. Thus the composition of the work extended over a period of at least fourteen years and probably of many more. That Pausanias spent a long time over it might be inferred from a passage in which he explains a change in his religious views. When he began his work, so he tells us, he looked on some Greek myths as little better than foolishness, but when he had got as far as his description of Arcadia he had altered his opinion and had come to believe that they contained a kernel of deep wisdom under a husk of extravagance.6 Such a total change of attitude towards the religious traditions of his country was more probably an affair of years than of weeks and months.

Excerpt from A Critical History of Language and Literature of Ancient Greece, Vol. 3 Attention has already been directed in the pre vions book1 to the origin of lyric poetry, and to the causes which obtained for the Sister epic art, if not the palm of prior invention, a preference at least in respect to culture and preservation. It will now be proper to inquire into the circumstances to which, at a later epoch, the Lyric Muse was indebted, in her turn, for an equal share of honourable distinction.

Excerpt from The History of Greece From Its Commencement to the Close of the Independence of the Greek Nation, Vol. 3 of 4 The present volume deals with a period of Greek history which derives its special interest from the much contested importance of a few prominent men. I have endeavoured to substantiate the View which I take of them. For Demosthenes and Philip the chief requisite was a detailed investigation of their careers, based upon the authorities, an investigation which in the case of the former has not led me to the favour able results which historians generally arrive at. For Alex ander, on the other hand, the main thing was his position in Greek history in general. In repeatedly pointing out that he must be regarded not only as the founder of a new epoch, but also as the fulfiller of hopes which had long been cherished by the best men in Greece, and as a genuine Greek himself, I believe I am only doing.

Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 3 of 4 About six miles to the south-eastward of Parga is the entrance of Splantza, or the harbour of Pa nari, the ancient Glycys Limen, into which the Acheron discharges itself. The intermediate coast has a direction first due east, and then south; exactly in the angle is Ai Ianni, or St. John, which is the best harbour in this part of the coast. Porto Fanari is small and shallow, and therefore fre quented only by small vessels, which lead the corn and kalambokki of the plain of Fanari. The port is easily known by an interval of low coast between steep hills, and by a remarkable precipice on one side of the entrance. As at Bathrotam, the water of this bay is rendered almost sweet by the great river which is discharged into it whence the ancient name Glycys Limen. Suli is a conspicuous object rising behind this part of the coast on the heights a little to the southward of Porto Fanari is the village of Klarentza, and below it a small har bour and some magazines for the sardeles, which are caught in great plenty, in and near Porto Fa nari. The coast is steep but well cultivated as far as Cape Agriapidhia, the heights above which are seen from Corfu.
