The Campaign of Artemisium and Thermopylæ

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

Sailing in a coasting steamer from Athens to Volo, the traveller passes by the region of land and sea in which the first great scene of the second Persian War was enacted. He enters the Malian Gulf and discerns Thermopylæ in the distance; then he sails through the channel between the Achaian and north Eubœan shores, and as he turns into the Pagasæan basin seeks Aphetæ somewhere on the right, while the shore of Artemisium behind him stretches away towards the open sea.
