ATHENS. 303 
From this illustrious memorial of Athenian CHAP.

history, we descended once more to the Ccele, or ._ 
hollow way, of Pausanias; and, crossing the road 
from the Piraeus, passed the Cryptce of the Hill of 
Mus&us, and ascended to the MONUMENT OF Monument 
PHiLOpArrus, standing upon its summit 1 . 
There is no account of this structure by any 
antient author, if we except Pausanias; who 
merely says of it*, that in the place where 
Musceus was buried a monument was after-

wards erected, dvdg} Sfffy, without adding a 
syllable as to his name or history; which is 
remarkable, considering the attention usually 
bestowed by him upon objects much less worthy 
of regard. It is within the walls of the antient, 
although at some distance from those of the 
modern city 3 ; and the view from hence of the 
Citadel of Athens, the Sinus Saronicus, and the 
neighbouring territories, ip very striking. 
Looking towards the sea, the eye commands 
the ports of the Pirceeus, Munychia, and Phalerus ; 
the isles of Salamis and jEgina; and the moun- 
tains of Poloponnesus, as far as the Gulph of 
Argos. The frequent mention of it by other
