Do ou remember the bright mornina; the twill suinmits of Skyrus came into vie v? It :is the l)irilipl.ice of Theseus, who carried out the union ol many Attic-communities into a sini le state and extended the territory of Atiica to the Isthmus of Corinth. It was here that Arhillcs. legendary hero of the Trojan Wars, was placed by his mother among the maidens of Kiinj; Ly- (oincdi ' s so that the sinister warning of the Oracle at Delphi might not come to pass. It was here that Ulysses released him from his bondage to join the armies of Menelaus before the walls of Troy. The magnificenf acropolis We strained our e es as we scanned the plains of Troy at the entrance to the Dardenelles, in hope that we might see the ruins of ancient Troy that lay about Si , miles off our starboard bow. Here on this very beach, after ten long years of fruitless siege, the Greeks left their Tro- jan Horse. Thinking it to be an offering. to the gods, the Trojans rolled it into the city and cele- brated the lifting of the siege. Then, in the quiet- ness of the night, while Troy lay in stupor, the Greeks stole forth from the belly of the horse, swimg wide the city gates to the fleet that had returned, and Troy was sacked and burned.
