The plains of Troy, so famed anu
fourishing in ancient days. are now
barren and desolate. The sculptor sees
no statues, the architect no remains
and the painter anything but Il pic
turc5quC view. 1t is fit only for the
collcGian or the moralist. The classic
Scamandcr is but IL muddy stream,
winding through an uncultivatcd plain.
covered with stunted oaks. underwood
and PUSHES. At the opposite extremity
of the plain stand the tomhs of Hector
ana Achilles, that of the latter near
the Hellespont, where the Greek fleet
was moored. Near is the grave of his
friend, P~atroclus. All their glorics are
now reduced to n few tumuli. about
thirty feet high. The Scamander Is
between 200 and $50 feet broad and
very muddy, having the appearance of
being much flooded.
Farther up the plain its course be-
comes incistinguishable among tine
marshes. After passing a smaller
river, you arrive at an ancient tumulus,
not far from the shore. What is most
striking in this monument is the exist
ence of an arch, which forms an en-
trance to the center. Above are the
remains of n square basement, on
which the column of the tomb may
formerly stood. On your return
you see the tombs of Achilles and
Patroclus and some others.
