PANORAMIC VIEW OF ATHENS. 



555 



at Athens, the Turks had knocked off the capitals of the columns, 

 in order to erect one of their batteries on the summits. In front 

 of the picture gallery and temple of Victory were anciently two 

 equestrian statues. Paus. 1. i. 



L. L. Intersected by A. 12. That part of the city called Coele or 

 the Hollow. In this spot were shown the tombs of Cimon, Herodotus, 

 and Thucydides. 



P. 1. The beginning of the range of the Icarian mountains, which 

 terminates at the sea near Salamis. 

 Q.. 4. Turkish burying-ground. 



R. 10. Part of the Areopagus. This place is a rugged rock of 

 small elevation, situated at the distance of about a furlong from the 

 Acropolis at the N. W. extremity. The steps cut in the rock are 

 still remaining. Pausanias describes it as being nearer the cave of 

 Pan; and gives the etymology of the word, 1. i. See also iEsch. Eum. 

 682. Eurip. Elec. 1258. 



Plate II. Aspect from N. W. to S. W. 



A. 1. Part of the modern town. 



C. 3. The Ceramicus within the city. Paus. 1. i. 



D. 4. The temple of Theseus ; a little beyond, to the right, in the 

 modern town, are the ruins of the Gymnasium of Ptolemy, and the 

 Pantheon. 



E. 4. Road to the Academy, beginning at the gate Dipylon. Cic. de 

 Fin. 1. v. c. 1 . It passed through the suburb called Ceramicus 

 without the city, and was covered with the sepulchres of the illus- 

 trious dead. Thucy. 1. ii. It has been supposed that the tomb of 

 Pericles was in that direction ; but it appears from Cicero, (De Fin. 

 v. c. 2.) that it was on the road to Phalerum. The accumulation of 

 earth is not the only cause of the destruction of the Athenian sepul- 

 chres : it is one of the accusations brought against Demosthenes by 

 his rival, that when appointed to repair the walls of the city after the 

 battle of Chseronea, he used the stones of the tombs for that purpose. 

 iEsch. in Ctes. 



F. 1. Yia Sacra, leading from the Sacred Gate to Eleusis, as it is 

 seen ascending the distant hills, G. 5.
