الصفحة 364 - This angle seems to be the point of the hill on which the council of the Areopagus sat. Immediately above the steps, on the level of the hill, is a bench of stone excavated in the limestone rock, forming three sides of a quadrangle, like a triclinium : it faces the south : on its east and west side is a raised block : the former may, perhaps, have been the tribunal, the two latter the rude stones which Pausanias saw here, and which are described by Euripides (Iph.

الصفحة 409 - The present remains are interesting and extensive. The city, which was of an irregular form, was surrounded by a wall with square projecting towers, and apparently about two miles and a half in circuit. The Acropolis was on a pointed hill above the city. The ruins are all of white marble of an inferior kind, veined with gray. It was cut on the spot, as the rocks are of the same materials. The grain is close, but does not sparkle like most of the Grecian marbles, and is moreover of a brittle and decomposing...
الصفحة 388 - Academy and its plane trees remarkable for their luxuriant growth, made the air unhealthy. They still cause the spot to be one of the most advantageous situations near Athens for the growth of fruit and pot-herbs, and maintain a certain degree of verdure when all the surrounding plain is parched with the heat of summer.
الصفحة 21 - ... the streets and to promenade in the cool, lofty, and dimly-lighted arcade, often stopping to gaze with idle curiosity or patriotic pride at the long array of well-ordered tackle which spoke of the naval supremacy of Athens.
