Excerpt: ... from Zacynthus, the most southerly of the group, and is much nearer to the islands of the Archipelago. The circumstance that for nearly three thousand years the islands of the Ionian Sea have figured in European history is at once explained by their geographical position. They lie directly in the path of early Hellenic emigration to the West: they are the natural stepping-stones between Greece and Italy; and now that the tide has turned, and the current of commerce, art, and civilization flows from the Western lands to the decaying Orient, they still constitute, as it were, the portals of Greece. The geological formation of all the islands is identical with that of the mainland: they are vast masses of limestone rock, and may be regarded as a prolongation in the sea of the south-western offshoots of the Pindus range. They are widely different in shape and physical aspect, though all are rugged and mountainous. In Zacynthus the milder character of the scenery and the luxuriance of the semitropical vegetation have gained for the island the name of "The Flower of the Levant." Cephallenia, Ithaca, and Leucadia are wilder and more stern in aspect, their hills are more lofty and bare of wood; while Corcyra combines the landscape characteristics of both the southern and the middle islands. But all alike are beautiful; and as the traveller gazes on their olive-clad heights and their picturesque coasts from the sea, he may well echo Byron's impassioned exclamation, -- "The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece, Where burning Sappho loved and simp; Where grew the arts of war and peace." Though not the largest, Corcyra is the most populous and important of the islands. It has a place in the mythic tradition, and a still greater one in the ascertained...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Greece: Described and Illustrated The nature of his subject afforded the writer no scope, even if he had had the opportunity or the ability, for original research nor is it necessary for him to cumber these pages with a list of authori ties which are familiar and accessible to every student. A few facts as to the results of recent explorations at Olympia and Mycenae have been gleaned from the new edition, prepared by Mr. Tozer, of Bishop Wordsworth's excellent Greece: Pictorial, Descriptive, and Histori cal but the compiler has very seldom consulted this work, because its avowed object is very similar to that he has himself had in view, though his method of treatment will, he ventures to think, he found to be essentially different. The statements of historical fact are based chiefly on Grote, though Thirlwall has also been consulted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
