First Series. No. 97. The Acropolis, Athens, Greece.
The Acropolis of Athens is a
precipitous rock rising about 250
feet above the city and extending
about 1000 feet from east to
west, with a maximum diameter
of 400 feet. It is crowned with
the ruins of the highest achieve-
ments of Grecian art, the Parthe-
non and the Erechtheum with
sculptures that adorned them,
and the Propylæa, or monumen-
tal gate. It was the site of the
earliest Athens and contained the
palace of the King until the ex-
pulsion of the Pisistratids, from
which time it ceased to be inhab-
ited d was reserved as a sacred

emple of Athena, the colos-
bronze statue by Phidias, and
the temple of Wingless Victory.

Ladies and
Will find Hood's Pills especially adapted
to their use. They are small in size, so
that the dose can be regulated for a
slight effect or for one easily susceptible
to cathartics, and are easy to take.
They are composed of purely vegetable
ingredients; do not contain mercury,
calomel or any of the powerful mineral
drastics which make up the old-time pills
pied by the Odeum of Herodes,
the sanctuary of Esculapius and
the Dionysiac theatre. The Par-
thenon was in turn cathedral and
mosque, the Propylæa became
the palace and governmental
offices and the Erechtheum, after
serving as church, became a
pasha's harem. These great
monuments remained compara-
tively unharmed until a late date
in the Turkish domination. The
Propylæa were shattered by an
explosion of powder produced
by lightning; the Erechtheum
was destroyed by overweighing
the roofs in an effort to make
them bomb-proof; the Parthe-
non was cut in two in 1687 by
the explosion of a bomb that was
purposely shot into the powder
stored in it during the Venitian
siege of Athens.
