painting of Pausias of Corinth." The remains of it are yet
visible near the baths and temple of iEsculapius, and ena-
ble us to form a complete idea of the tholos of the
Greeks. There was a tholos at Athens* in which the Pry-
tanes sacrificed. Whatever might be the use of the tholos
of Ulysses, it may not be improper to observe that the
same words are applied by Pausanias to the description of
the tholos of Epidaurus, and that of the treasury of Mi-
nyas at Orchomenos,3 in Boeotia, an edifice, the ruins of
which still exist, and of the same construction with that of
Atreus or Agamemnon, at Mycenae..
Ithaca was probably first peopled from Cephallonia, not
long before the age of Ulysses. Cephalus, who was the re-
puted descendant of Neptune, or perhaps of the first set-
tler, through iEolus and Deion, is said to have given name
to Cephallonia. Ithacus, Neritus, and Polj^ctor were pos-
sibly sons of Cephalus, the first of whom founded the new
1 Pausanias' Corinthiacs. This edifice was for the use of persons fre-
quenting the bath. Circular rooms are to this day common in all the baths of
Greece, generally covered with a dome.
