" Parallel with Mount Hymettus, and at no great distance from it, runs that light and graceful chain of rocks which forms so beautiful a feature in the scenery, and at the same time separates the valley of Ilissus from the plain of the Cephissus. The continuation of this chain is exceedingly...
Página 26 - But the farther we progressed into the plain, the more we began to admire its chief characteristics, the more we were impressed by its mountain barriers. ' As the city of Athens,' says Mr. Wordsworth, ' was both protected from external aggression, and also connected with the sea, by means of its long walls, as they were called, which stretched from the town to its harbour, so was the plain of Athens defended from invasion, and maintained its connection with the coast by its own long walls, — that...
