Its site is discovered by the ivins of its waUsy in the midst of a desolate and unhealthy plain ; deaert almost it may now be called. It was anciently caUed Fob- idpnia, and its history Iruns back to an age too remote to be defi- nitely described, by the historian. It was among the most splen- did towns of a remote antiquity. Here Ulysses landed when he waft sailing in the Posid...onian Gulf ; Jason, with his Argonauts, it is said, landed here, and Hercules himself was here ; and, per- bi^ all. three worshipped in the temples now standing, for these tomplefi, we are toU, were lodied upon as antiquities in the days of Aiigualus. Posidonia was subdued by the Romans, and be- came a Roman. coboy; and finally, in the ninth century, it was taken by the Saracens and levelled with the ground, all except tb^ae massy Doric temples, which fire could not destroy nor great Hrength readily demcdish, and on which time with his corroding looth has been gnawing for perhaps three thousand years with butt little success.
