The most distinguished philosophers and poets were among the pilgrims to this shrine. According to tradition, Delphi was formerly the lair of the dragon, Pytho, slain by Apollo. The Romans looted the temple man_v times, Nero alone carrying off more than 500 brazen images. The famous stone called Omphalus, or navel stone, supposed to mark the center of the earth, was kept willi the sacred fire in the cella or inner sanctuar}- of the temple. The canal through the Isthmus of Corinth was opened, Au...gust 6th, 1S93. The idea of cutting such a passage was entertained by Nero, who even began the work. The present canal was begun by a French company, who, in 18S9, left it to be completed by the Greeks. There are two breakwaters, each 785 ft. Long, and two lighthouses to protect the western entrance. The channel is 100 ft. Wide, three and a half miles long and twenty-six feet deep; for a distance of one mile it is cut through solid rock. As we neared Athens, we could see the quarries of Pentelicus, which yielded the marble of which the ancient temples are built.
