[Map: Greece and the Ægean Sea] FOOTNOTES 1 Though this statement is broadly true, it requires some modification. I should be sorry to be thought insensible to the beauties, not only of Ravenna, with its mosaics and its pines, but of Ancona, of the splendid Monte Gargano, of Trani and Bari, and of the rich gardens and vineyards of Apulia. 2 Cf. Strabo, viii. c. 2, _ἐστι τοίνυν ἡ Πελοπόννησος ἐοικυῖα φύλλῳ πλατάνου τὸ σχῆμα_. 3 These words were written in 1873. On a later occasion, our ship was obliged to run into this bay for shelter from a storm, when we found some cultivation along the coasts, and a village (Koron), with extensive fortifications above it, said to be Venetian. The aspect was by no means so desolate as appeared from a passing view outside the headlands. Coasting steamers now call here (at Kalamata) every second day. 4 Which the reader will find best portrayed in Prosper Mérimée’s _Colomba_. 5 See the remarks of Polybius, who was himself witness of this great change, quoted in the last chapter of my _Greek Life and Thought, from Alexander to the Roman Conquest_. 6 We hailed him with a steam whistle in 1886, in vain; so it may be that he has passed to some newer and more social kind of life. 7 A closer view of Crete disclosed to me the interesting fact that the island is turned to the north, as regards its history. It is barred on the south by great walls of rock, with hardly any landing-places, so that all traffic and culture must have started from the slopes and bays on the north side, where the Cyclades are its neighbors. 8 I should except the splendid _Venus victrix_, as she is called, found at Capua, and now in the Museum of Naples. 9 In my _Social Life in Greece, from Homer to Menander_. 10 The words are M. About’s. 11 I beg to point out to a learned and kindly critic in the _Athenæum_, who corrected several faults of spelling in the first edition, that this is the form of the name warranted by inscriptions, and now to be received by scholars: cf. Wachsmuth’s _Stadt Athen_, i. p. 49.
