The doctor ran away — and the patient recovered. It was in the course of this tour, before retiring to rest for the night in a cave by the shore of the Gulf of Arta, that Byron saw the scene (the Pyrrhic war-dance to the accompaniment of song) which he afterwards described BYRON: THE PASSIONATE PERSONALITY 273 in Childe Harold, ii. 71, 72, and which inspired the beautiful song, " Tambourgi, Tambourgi ! " During his stay in Athens, the indignation he felt at the plundering of the Parthenon by En...gland, in the person of Lord Elgin, inspired him with the poem. The Curse of Minerva; and a transient attachment to one of the daughters of the English consul produced the song, Maid of Athens, the heroine of which, even after she had become a little pale old lady, continued to be tormented with visits from English tourists. On the 3rd of May, Byron performed his famous feat of swimming across the Dardanelles, from Sestos to Abydos, in an hour and ten minutes ; he writes of it in Don f nan, and was proud of it all his life.
