" Near the entrance to Platssa, you may perceive the sepulchres of
those who fought against the Medes. The other Greeks indeed have
one common sepulchre; but the Lacedaemonians and Athenians that fell
in that battle have separate tombs; and upon them there are elegies
composed by Simonides."—Transl. of Paus.

" Looke upon the sepulchres of your fathers, whom slain by the
Medes, and buried in this territory of ours, we have yeerely honoured
at the publike charge."—Hobbes.
" Movemur enim nescio quo pacto locis ipsis in quibus eorum quos
diligimus aut admiramur, adsunt vestigia. Me quidem ipsse illse nostra?
Athena?, non tam operibus magnificis, exquisitisque antiquorum artibus
delectant, quam recordatione summorum virorum, ubi quisque habitare,
ubi sedere, et disputare sit solitus; studioseque eorum. etiam sepulcra
contemplor."------Cicero, Leg. II. 2.
" For our feelings are put into a state of indescribable excitation, by
the view even of the places where the footsteps of those whom we love or
admire are to be traced. For my own part, the delight which our be-
loved Athens communicates, is derived not so much from the contempla-
tion of her magnificent edifices, and exquisite works of ancient art, as
from the recollection of her illustrious children, and the sight of the places
where they used to dwell, to sit, and to impart instruction; and even
their sepulchres I regard with a pleasing melancholy."—J. P.
