ARGOLIS.

ROUTE FROM CORINTH TO CLEON^E.

In the road between Corinth and Argos is the city of Cleonse, a place
of no great extent. In it is a temple of Minerva and the monuments
of Eurytus and Cteatus. Pausanias. Corinthiaea, 57- Cleonae is 120
stadia distant from Argos, and 80 from Corinth, from the citadel of
which it is visible. It is situated upon a hill which is covered with the
houses, and is very well walled, so that it seems to deserve the
epithet of well built. Strabo. etktimenas kaexinas. Horn. II. B. 2.

To avoid the trouble of consulting another volume, which may con-
tain the roads from Corinth, the whole route from that place to Argos
is here given, though it should otherwise commence at Cleonae, which
was the last city of Argolis in the direction of Corinth.

At the distance of 10 minutes from Corinth, the road crosses a ra-
vine and stream. At 20 minutes a second, and soon after a third. At
26 on the right is a great wood of olives extending over the plain to-
ward the Corinthian gulph. At 36 minutes quit the plain crossing
a bridge over a deep ravine, on the left see another bridge and a
house. Hence ascend by a steep winding path till 40 minutes,
