I tliifu n it deiive c.t the Greeks from

a neighbor much more to be dreaded,
and to whose arm*, ihe Asiatic Greeks
>oon !cll a prey.
Tne Athenian republic, now rroarded
as the head of Greece, ha<l arrived to
ttiai piich of power and independence,
which alarmed the fears of the A^iatie
I aionarchs, and provoked the particular
rr-,cptnient of Darius, th? Fi r?>ian king.
With an army of 100, 00O men, and a
tl et suttici' ui to cove- t ?e Grecian seas,
he invatk-d Grecee. Th? Persian army
, Idiii'ed at Marathon, about ten miles
l<vm Athens. wh? re it was met by an ar
my of only lu.OOO A wicoians, command
ed ly the immortal Miltiades Tuis lit
tle handtul met j force of ten times
the r numhei ? fell upon them like so
m my bloodthirsty tij?? r> and completely
routed the whole ai my, leaving 6000 of
?.?icir bctt troops dead on the field ot
battle. The tei ininaimn ol tuis cunflit t
elevated the Athenians to immortal te
nown and unrivalled ascendency in
Gt ctce.
Success also attended their arms at
the celebrated battle of Plitxa. Here
A- isiidcs, who was af'erwai ds surnamed
ihc _/i/"?',imniorializt d his name b) deeds
ok valor. Not loiu< .liter this, a most
signal victoiy was gained ovei the Per
stuns, by the ci lebrated Tliemntocle-.,
in an .-c ton at sea, which decided tne
fate ot t.?e war.
To the sup< rior genius of this trul)
^rcat man, it bus been justly suiil, ma;
Ciicece was indebted toi tier liberties,
and her existence as a nutio"; and to
:he same t;>e world is indebted for pie
sei ving a nation* who were iho father* ol
litera'. tre and government. Hui lie was
marked for vengeance. The Spurtatia
regarded him with waned and malice ?
implicated him as bv ing concerned in
tr? as?oii and treachery, aud finally procu
red hi> banishment and death.
Tar Grecian empire at this period ?*f
their history* embraced the cnast ol
Asia, from Syria to >hr Bosphutus of
Thrace, inrludu>g all the a'ljaccn* isl
ands, and on tne shores oi Europe Irom
F.pirus round the peninsula of Grcrce
and stretching to Mactdon* Thiace and
thi E<ixine sea.

?'?ominions. The states of Greecc t.ow
were si.orn of thtir former giory and
splendour ? and their liberty, piosp;-ri;y
and txisti nee as a nation, had departed.
Bui Grecian literature had travelled
with their arms, and its influence was
afterwards felt and acknowledged by the
Romans.
1'roiii tbe foundation of lha common
wealth ot Athens, so the dca'h of Cico
puira,t!.e ia to' Alexander's successors,
was upwards of one thousand four hun
dred year".
During this period, says the historian,
the (jueks founded and overturned the
greatest empires: they excelled all na
tions in arc. itecture, statuary, paintings,
poetry and oratory; they gave the world
its hi >?t hero; they exhibited ano gre*r
est variety ol character and tne in .at as
tonishing displays of genius; an?? thry
may be considered asjus'.ly Vncining the
first rank among the nations of the earth:
their history, therelore, and their lan
guage open a more variegated, rich,
beautiful and sublime field of study, thai,
those of any other nation.
But what are they now? More than
two thousand years have rol'ed away,
since the Grcc ks were in the zenith o'
their glory. We now find them strug
gling for that liberty and independence
which their forefathers once *so gloriously
enjoyed. And with whom are they i on

manded by a haughty, voluptuous Jiari

ot gems, and gold, and concubines, prov

whom the Ottoman empire owes its
name, and from whotn the present sul

About 128 year* afier this, the Turks
obtained a looting in Europe ? establish

over the Gteiks. He laid siege to Con

Tamerlane, a Taitarian ptince, ga\c
him an effectual check.
The wars which were fomented by.
and carried on, between the successors
of thi* prill* e. contributed toaupnnt-nt tbo
