146 MOUNT HELICON. 
CHAP, the day's journey. At the distance of one hour 
^' J from Kotumala, there is z. fountain; and at two 
Panori. hours' distance a village, called Panori\ upon 
the left, beyond which there is diXio\\\QY fountain ; 
— trivial occurrences when regarded merely as 
fountains, baton no account to be disregarded by 
the writer of a book of travels intended to illu- 
strate the antient topography of Greece; where 
every fountain was consecrated to some Deity; 
and every insignificant rivulet, as the country 
becomes more known, will be an object of impor-* 
tance, in serving as a land-mark. We passed 
two bridges built over small streams descending 
from the mountain; and then came in sight of 
Lehadea. Lebadea, which was covcrcd with a white 
milky fog, the never-faihng indication of bad air. 
Its inhabitants are consequently subject to agues 
during the summer; and strangers, of course, 
are miore liable to such fevers. The rest of our 
road was over that part of the base of Helicon 
which projects into the plain of Lebadea; and 
the view of this plain, appearing below us, with 
its numerous villages, and the courses of the 
rivers through it, was very pleasing. We did 
not arrive at Lebadea until it was almost 
dark. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour,
