, ' ;1Q1; Dire indeed was the work of pillage to which the rich and wicked city became a victim when Grecian freedom fell with her at last.
The aged temple stands on high ground looking forth over the Corinthian Gulf. It is a very sad temple. When the rude soldiery of Mummius trampled underfoot all that was left of Hellenic independence and " The eye of Greece " was dark- ened, this venerable mother of temples had lived too long.
" Where ^ is thy beauty renowned through the world, Oh Dorian Cor...inth?
Where is thy battlement crown? Where thy pro- cessions of old?
Where are thy fanes of the blest, thy palaces, where are thy Matrons, Sisyphus' daughters? Thy folk numbered by myr- iads once?
Ill-fated one! No trace, not one of thy glory is left thee.
All in one moment consumed, war hath devoured the whole.
Only the Nereid nymphs, the daughters immortal of ocean Still unharmed we survive. Halcyon birds of thy griefs. " ^ ^ Anth. , ix. 151 Antipater.
2 Symonds' " Sketches and Studies of Italy and Greece " has a beautiful paraphrase of this lament.
