92 This the Peloponnesians did at Œnoe, according to Thucydides; perhaps therefore at this very place. 93 There was no photograph of this very fine building existing when I was in Greece. The only drawing of it I have seen is in the plates of Dodwell’s _Archæological Tour in Greece_—a splendid book. The fort of Phyle, though smaller, possesses all the features described in this fort, and shows that they represent a general type. 94 This pass (seized by the Persian cavalry before the battle of Platæa, in order to stop the Greek provision trains) was called _τρεῖς κεφαλαί_ by the Thebans, but _δρυὸς κεφ._ by the Athenians (Herod. IX. 39)—evidently the same old name diversely interpreted by diverse _Volks-etymologien_. _τρεῖς_ and _δρυός_ are pronounced almost alike in modern Greek, probably therefore in old Greek likewise. But I will not touch the thorny question of old Greek pronunciation. 95 Cf. what I have said in relation to Polybius’s account of it in my _Greek Life and Thought_, pp. 534 _sq._ 96 Cf., for example, the figures in the recent (1891) _Guide Joanne_, ii. xxxvi. 97 There was, indeed, a splendid _pleasaunce_ built at Thebes by the Frankish knights, which was completely destroyed by the grand Catalan company. It is described by their annalist Ramon Muntaner. The remains of one Frankish tower mark the place. 98 See his life in Gregorovius’s _Athen_, vol. i. pp. 144 _sq._ 99 The legend of the name is now fully explained in the fragments of the _Antiope_ published by me in the _Petrie papyri_ (Williams & Norgate, 1891). 100 I trust none will imagine that I intend the least disrespect to M. Boulgaris, who was, according to far better authority than that quoted in the text, an honorable and estimable man. But some of his Ministers have been since convicted of malpractices concerning certain archbishoprics, which were bought for money. The trial is now a matter of history, to which an allusion is sufficient. 101 Since that time, the chief power has for the most part been in the hands of M. Trikoupi, an honest patriot. Yet it was the misfortune of the country to be reduced by M. Delyanni to the verge of bankruptcy through his absurd war policy against Turkey. It is probable enough that he did not lead, but was carried along by this policy, with which all the Athenian “Jingoes” were possessed. 102 This plague seems unavoidable in a southern climate, wherever the houses, however good, are built of wood, and does not imply any ungrateful reflection upon my refined and generous hosts. In the Morea, where houses are built of masonry, even badly-kept houses are comparatively safe. 103 Cf. Polygnotus’s picture of Agamemnon (Paus. x. 30, 3), _σκήπτρῳ τε ὑπὸ τὴν ἀριστερὰν μασχάλην ἐρειδόμενος_.
