*2<X TRCEZEN.

There is a tomb of Phaedra not far from that of Hippolytus. There
is a statue of $}sculapius, which the Trcezenians call that of Hippo-
lytus.

The house of Hippolytus is also seen.. Before the statue of iEscu-
Japius is a fountain called Herculeus, because the spring was
discovered by him. In. the Acropolis is the temple of Minerva.
Sthenias.

Descending from the acropolis is the temple of Pan Luterios.
Descending into the country of the Trcezenians, you see the temple
of Isis, and above it that of the Acraean Venus. Pausanias, Book 2*
Chap. 31 and 32.

Without the walls of Troezen is the temple of Neptune Phytalmios,
above which is that of Ceres the Lawgiver. Pausanias, Book 2..

This place, now represented by the mean village of Damala, which
consists of only 45 habitations, was anciently of considerable extent,
the longest side of the city having been at least one mile in length.
It was probably, like most of the Greek cities, of a form approaching
to a triangle, having a wall in the plain, from the extremities of which
other fortifications ran up the mountain to the acropolis on a craggy
and detached summit, now very prettily spotted with wild olives. The
ascent to it is difficult, and the labour ill repaid by the sight of a
ruined chapel, a Venetian, cistern, and an Ionic capital, without any
vestige of the citadel.
