MOUNTAINS OF LOCRI OZOUE,

LOOKING TOWARDS NAUPACTUS FROM THE HEIGHTS ABOVE ROUMILIA,

GULPH OF CORINTH.

" Naupactus, the name of which is derived from the circumstance that there
the Heraclidae built the first ship for their expedition against the Peloponnesus,
originally belonged to the Locri Ozolas. Having afterwards fallen under the
power of the Athenians, it was bestowed by them on the Messenian refugees
who had been driven from the Peloponnesus by the Spartan conquest; but after
the battle of iEgospotamus, was restored by the Lacedemonians to the Locri,
its original possessors."------Pausan. IV.

Homer. Imad. II.

'•' Brave Ajax led the Locrian squadron on,
Ajax the less, Oileus1 valiant son,
Skilled to direct the flying dart aright,
Swift in pursuit, and active in the fight;
Him, as their chief, the chosen troops attend,
Which Bessa, Thronius, and rich Cynos send,
And those who dwell where lovely Augia stands,
And where Boagrius floats the lowly lands."

Pope.
