A GREEK MONK AND HIS WIPE BEFORE THE CONVENT OF ST. GEORGE : PHENEOS 



This convent, at the foot of Mount Krathis, in the Peloponnesus, once stood a mile from 

 its present site, but was forced back by the waters of Lake Pheneos in the 18th century. In 

 ancient times Pheneos was the seat of a temple to Artemis Heurippa, said to have been founded 

 by Ulysses because he discovered his lost horses here. Not far away is the Stymphalian Lake 

 (Saraka), abode of the man-eating birds destroyed by Hercules as his fifth labor.
