ATHENS. Among The towns Of Greece
no one ID SO celebrated as Athens Ii was
founded more than three thousand years
ago. and i'm after ages was filed with mag
ni6centtemples. halls, and palaces. built
Of costly marble, and spreading over an
extent Of .wenty-seven miles in circuit.
But this splendid city persisted long since,
and a few noble ruins only remains to
tell Us Of lis former glo.y. The Parihenon
or temples of Minerva, though lettering
TO its fall, cannot be looked upon but with
admiration. Il is still beautiful even in its
decay: and excites strong desire 10 the
beholder 10 know more Of the wonderful
people who built il. u
Ofthe temple OF Jupiter, only a few
columns remain; these are executed with
great skill, and the whole edifice 10
its perfect state, must have been a model
Of art There are the ruins scattered over
the ground, but they are only snfieiea
TO show US, how great.Athens once was,
and how desolae il is now. The modern
town, which passes under the name of
Athim. Is poor village situated al The
foot Of the hill, where tbe ancient city
stood. Many OF the houses are OF mud /
and Inhabited By fisherman.
