' A  •• - — ft . ! • A THE CLASSICAL WORLD From sorties off Malta, the EATON joined the Sixth Fleet in earnest and steamed through the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean, past ghosts of the Pelopennesian and Persian Wars, past Doric Isles of Delos andMelos, into Thessalonika, Thrace, the second largest city in Modern Greece. Those who took the tour to Mount Ethos found the rocky wilderness of Grecian Thrace. The others found Salonika a bustling commercial port with even a Russian ship in evidence. From Salonika, the fleet headed down the Aegean to Piraeus, the port of Athens. Ancient Greece was noted for its potter and statues. Not to be out-done, the modern descendents sold to the EATON, alone, enough alabaster figures, scraps of pottery, and coffee cups for the signal bridge to rival the number of clocks bought in Germany. Amateur photographers brought their lens to bear on the Temple of Jupiter Olympus (above, left), and the Parthenon (above, right). The Fleet from Thessalonika 39 , the stalls of Pireaus The streets of Salonika . Modern Greece seemed a little less glorious than the an- cient monuments of the Akro- polis or the Sacred Way. Huddles of houses and dirt roads, little back-room stores surrounded the well - paved smart business streets. Pi- reaus was a strange contrast of poverty and fine homes on the road to Athens. Those who tried Osna and Resinika discovered that the Greeks like their beverages with a kick. Pireuus The Sacred Way « .
