From Venice we made our way down The lengTh oT The AdriaTic, around Greece, and up The Aegean To anoTher siTe oT ancienT hisTory and romance, Asia Minor, and ThaT nar- row and mosT imporTanT oT world waTerways, The Dardenelles.

From The Time we had our TirsT hisTory lesson baclc in grammar school, we'd heard and read abouT The glory oT The Golden Age of Greece. IT had always seemed lilce one oT Those greaT and marvelous dream worlds oT The pasT ThaT we would never be able To see: and yeT, There iT was, spread ouT beTore us iusT as our hisTory boolcs had described iT. In The cenTer of The Town The Acropolis, crowned by The beauTy oT The ancienT sculpTors' arT-The ParThenon, The Propylaea, ErecTheum, and The Temple oT AThenae. AT The greaT hill's TooT, The beginning oT The TheaTer as The world knows iT Today-The TheaTer oT Dionysius: and spreading ouT beneaTh iT, To The sea in The souTh and The mounTains in The norTh, The valley oT AThens, seTTled by The ancesTors oT Today's inhabiTanTs Tour Thousand years beTore The birTh of ChrisT. The years ThaT have passed, wars ThaT have been ToughT, and The progress oT civilizaTion have changed all These greaT worlcs oT ancienT men: The rooTs have Tallen in, The sTeps are worn hollow, The sTaTues are brolcen and crum- bling, buT The beauTy and The glory sTill remain as symbols oT a once greaT and glorious era in The hisTory oT man.
