Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

Apries was dethroned<br />

nymph Cyrene presenting to him the silphium and the plant<br />
:<br />
So Cyrene was planted and grew and flourished for either in full blossom, or with its blossom still<br />
unopened,<br />
many<br />
the<br />
centuries : her land was fruitful and teemed with flocks and<br />
type on the coins of Cyrene (Fig. 40). On a famous cylix<br />

king Arcesilas, probably he in whose<br />
with her wealth grew the arts of honour Pindar<br />
peace and war.<br />
sung, is seen seated on his royal throne<br />
Aristippus the pupil of Socrates founded here the school of<br />
philosophy called the Cyrenaic : here throve the potter's craft,<br />
and that of the engraver was no less famous, for we are told<br />
that there was no man in Cvrene who did not wear a sigfnetgem<br />
worth ten minas'-. She was above all renowned for her<br />
horses, and it is with the epithet possessor of good horses '<br />
that Pindar addresses her in the opening line of the Fourth<br />
Pythian. She is also described as the city of chariots,' and<br />
the belief that the four-horse chariot was invented in Li<strong>by</strong>a<br />
and thence imported into Europe was probably well founded.<br />
For the wild Li<strong>by</strong>an tribe of the Garamantians used fourhorse<br />
chariots in which they chased the Troglodyte Ethiopians^<br />
Down to our days the horses of North Africa excel, and our<br />
breed of English race-horses traces its pedigree from the Arab<br />
Barb of Lord Godolphin. To the subject of the Barbary horse<br />
we shall have to ri'turn later on, when<br />
we deal with Poseidon Hippios.<br />
But it was to the silphiuni plant that<br />
Cyrene chiefly owed her wealth.<br />
