PORT OP JEGINA.
m
he island of JSgina—according to Aristotle the
eye-sore of the Pirseus—is of the form of an irre-
nfp gular triangle, the western angle being the site
of the ancient port and city. The eastern angle
is distinguished by the remains of the temple which has obtained such celebrity
from the iEginetan Marbles, once.attached to its pediments, and which now
ornament the G-lyptothek at Munich, while at the southern corner of the island
rises a conical mountain, which, from its grandeur of form and its historical
associations, is the most remarkable object among the natural features of the
island.
