Since Euboea lies parallel to the whole of the coast from Sunium to Thessaly, with the exception of the ends on either side,^ it would be appropriate to connect my description of the island with that of the parts already described before passing on to Aetolia and Acarnania, which are the remaining parts of Europe to be described. 2. In its length, then, the island extends parallel to the coast for a distance of about one thousand two hundred stadia from Cenaeum to Geraestus, but its breadth is irregular and generally only about one hundred and fifty stadia. Now Cenaeum lies op- posite to Thermopylae and, to a slight extent, to the region outside Thermopylae, whereas Geraestus and Petalia lie towards Sunium. Accordingly, the island lies across the strait and opposite Attica, Boeotia, Locris,and the Malians. Because of its narrowness and ^ of the above-mentioned length, it was named Macris by the ancients. It approaches closest to the main- land at Chalcis, where it juts out in a convex curve towards the region of Aulis in Boeotia and forms the * i.e. the promontories of Thermopj'lae and Sunium, which lie beyond the corresponding extremities of Euboea Cenaeum and Geraestus. * i.e. " Long " Island (see Map VIII, end of Vol. IV). 3 STRABO TTOiovaa rhv Kvpnrov, wepl ov Sia irXeiovwv elpi]Ka/jLev, a')(€S6v 8e ri kuI irepi rcov avr lit 6p6pio)v d\X7]\oL<; TOTTcov Kara re ttjv yveipov Kal Kara rrjv vrfcrov i<p' eKurepa rov ILvpiirov, rci re €VTb<; Kal TO, e/cTo?. €i Si ti iXXeXeiTTTai, vvv irpoa- 8cacTa(f)7]aopev.

Concerning the Euripus I have ah'eady spoken i-ather at length/ as also to a certain extent concerning the places which lie opposite one another across the strait, both on the mainland and on the island, on either side of the Euripus, that is, the regions both inside and outside ^ the Euripus. But if anything has been left out, I shall now explain more fully. And first, let me explain that the parts between Aulis and the region of Geraestus are called the Hollows of Euboea ; for the coast bends inwards, but when it approaches Chalcis it forms a convex curve again towards the mainland. 3. The island was called, not only Macris, but also Abantis ; at any rate, the poet, although he names Euboea, never names its inhabitants " Euboeans," but always " Abantes " : " And those who held Euboea, the courage-breathing Abantes .... And with him ^ followed the Abantes."* Aristotle^ says that Thracians, setting out from the Phocian Aba, recolonised the island and renamed those who held it " Abantes." Others derive the name from a hero,'' just as they derive "Euboea" from a heroine.' But it may be, just as a certain cave on the coast which fronts the Aegaean, where lo is said to have given birth to Epaphus, is called Boos Aule,^ that the * Iliad 2. 5.36, 542. * Aristotle of Chalcis wrote a work on Euboea, but it is no longer extant. He seems to have flourished in the fourth century B.C. * Abas, founder of Aba, who later conquered Euboea and reigned over it (Stephanus Byzantinus, s.vv. "Afiai and 'A^avrls).

And it was also named Ellopia, after Ellops the son of Ion. Some say that he was the brother of Aiclus and Cothus and he is also said to have founded Ellopia, a place in Oria, as it is called, in Histiaeotis^ near the mountain Telethrius, and to have added to his dominions Histiaea, Perias, Cerinthus, Aedepsus, and Orobia ; in this last place was an oracle most averse to falsehood (it was an oracle of Apollo Selinuntius). The Ellopians migrated to Histiaea and enlarged the city, being forced to do so by Philistides the tyrant, after the battle of Leuctra. Demosthenes says that Pliilistides was set up by Philip as tyrant of the Oreitae too;^ for thus in later times the Histiaeans were named, and the city was named Oreus instead of Histiaea. But according to some writers, Histiaea was colonised by Athenians from the deme of the Histiaeans, as Eretria was colonised from that of the Eretrians. Theopompus says that when Pericles overpowered Euboea the Histiaeans by agreement migrated to Macedonia, and that two thousand Athenians who formerly composed the deme of the Histiaeans came and took up their abode in Oreus.

  • The Status of Vultures in Greece
    ICBP Technical Publication No. 5, 1985 THE STATUS OF VULTURES IN GREECE GEORGE I. HANDRINOS do Hellenic Ornithological Society, Kyniskas 9, Athens 502, Greece ABSTRACT This paper gives the present status of the various vulture species in Greece. From the late 1950s onwards, dramatic declines have occurred in all species, and for the Black Vulture the chances of survival are slim. INTRODUCTION Greece, as a typical Mediterranean country with favourable conditions, still harbours the biggest vulture population of all Eastern Europe and, apart from the Caucasus and Spain, is the last stronghold of these birds on the whole continent. Vultures were well known to the ancient Greeks. They are mentioned fre- quently in the ancient literature, even by Homer, whilst Aristotle was the first to describe some of them in his "Physics' . Indeed, it seems that they were very common at that time, and this is not surprising: the Eastern Mediterranean, and especially Greece, has been inhabited by man and his livestock for many thousands of years. Gradually vultures not only changed their diet from wild to domestic animals, but also quickly learned to co-exist with man and even to thrive in large numbers, taking profit from his pastoral activities. Thus they became a characteristic part of the Greek landscape and a valuable element in its ecology. This situation probably remained the same for many centuries up to the late 1700s, when man's devastating impact on nature increased alarmingly. It still prevails and has grown further since the 1950s. In 1965, Prof. K. Voous stated that the present population of raptors in Europe is only 1 percent of the numbers that existed 150 years ago (Bijleveld 1974).

Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs. "Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove." On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away.

  • Flowers in Greek Mythology
    Flowers in Greek Mythology Everybody knows how rich and exciting Greek Mythology is. Everybody also knows how rich and exciting Greek Flora is. Find out some of the famous Greek myths flower inspired. Find out how feelings and passions were mixed together with flowers to make wonderful stories still famous in nowadays. Anemone:The name of the plant is directly linked to the well known ancient erotic myth of Adonis and Aphrodite (Venus). It has been inspired great poets like Ovidius or, much later, Shakespeare, to compose hymns dedicated to love. According to this myth, while Adonis was hunting in the forest, the ex- lover of Aphrodite, Ares, disguised himself as a wild boar and attacked Adonis causing him lethal injuries. Aphrodite heard the groans of Adonis and rushed to him, but it was too late. Aphrodite got in her arms the lifeless body of her beloved Adonis and it is said the she used nectar in order to spray the wood. The mixture of the nectar and blood sprang a beautiful flower. However, the life of this 1 beautiful flower doesn’t not last. When the wind blows, makes the buds of the plant to bloom and then drifted away. This flower is called Anemone because the wind helps the flowering and its decline. Adonis:It would be an omission if we do not mention that there is a flower named Adonis, which has medicinal properties. According to the myth, this flower is familiar to us as poppy meadows with the beautiful red colour. (Adonis blood). Iris: The flower got its name from the Greek goddess Iris, goddess of the rainbow.
