| | But the bays or harbors on either coast are few, and so there was no city able to wrest the commerce of these waters from old Corinth, which held the keys by land of the whole Peloponnesus, and commanded the passage from sea to sea. | | | Next to the view from the heights of Parnassus, I suppose the view from this citadel is held the finest in Greece. | | | Any one who looks at the map of Greece will see how the Acro-Corinthus commands coasts, islands, and bays. |
