Ctesiai, the pMiaan., fist ol the younger yru, wards of his brother, has written tle history of the Assyrians aod of the Persians, in , twenty-hrce books. A- few remains of this .writer have reached us. He is the source of all the'fables which fill this' period ; he almost invariably contradicts Hcrodo tusrand frequcutly deviates from Xe nophon. Anstode judged him little worthy of credit,' but notwithstanding that,.D)0d6rus Siculuj and man o thers have given him the preference, and often copy him; Amongt the moderns, He lira, in hii ancient histo ry, has united all that the Greeks and historians have said upon the subject. .'Next in order.woufd follow an ac count of the Persian triarchy ; but os the most remarkable events of this krnjdbm, and those which are chieflv wot thy our notice, grew out of its contests with the Greeks, I will first describe the principal republics of that farfamed people, who still cuim anu receive the homage of our unfeigned respect. , , Spirtattoziz of the four famous re publics of Greece was founded 1516 vears before Tesus Christ. Ltlcx is the first 'king of Laccdemon whose name wt-know. He was reckoned the founder, and appears to ha e1 been a native of Laconia Castor, Pollux, Helen,' ah Clytemnestra, names cc lebrattd in fab!e, were desceuded from him. Yhe government of Sparta was' an Aristocracy. 884 years before Christ Uyc urgus of the royal house, became the Legislator of his country, in which character he caused his ftllow-citi-z'ens to adopt the mot extraordinary constitution that has hecn ever kne v n. Hepfactd the authority of the state in thejundsoja Senate for life, in which the laws were approved or rejected by the peopie. The magistrates were two hereditary kings, & five annual Epho- rt or popular main$ira:ei..f owcthing like, the tribunes of the Koman. The period of the greatest grandeur forparta was after the war of J'clop onnesus, when having humbled A thens, and seized Thebes, she heht Id Syracuse and the Persians suing for her alliance. Her destiny was com pitted aoout 186 jears before Christ, when Sparta was taken by rhilopae mon chief of the Achcan league The city surrendered at discretion but was treated as a place takv n y as sault ; the walls were rased, and the laws of Lycvirgus were abolichsd. ! In the year before Jesus Christ, 1557, Athens, was founded by Cc crops, who brought a colony out of Egpt and established himself in At tica. He taught the natives agricul ture and introduced the olive among them. It was Cccrops who instituted the Areopagus. The governmenrof Athens was democratic. In the year 594 before Christ, after the death ol Codrus, the last king, the city erect ed itself into a republic, the constitu tion of which was framed by bolon ; he placed the sovereignty in the hands of the populace, who decided .upon inc oojecis wnicn nau ocen ueuoerat ed upon by a senate of great numbers. The magistrates of the Athenian re public were Archons, who were at Erst chosen for life, afterwards for tea years,'and finally they were increased and elected annually. The period of 6,ta grauueur iur xvineus was a bout the time die Persian war when she was seen to accomplish acts of firm courage and to exhibit the most astonishing vi tues. The fate of Athens was decided 404 years be fore Christ, when tfie city was taken by.Lysander, a Lacedemonian chief. towafds'the conclusion of the Ptlo- ponesian war : her walls were thrown down and her government changed. From ibis severe blow she never re covered. . , . . ' 7ttcewas founded in the year 1494 before Christrby Cadmus,who arrived fmrn the neighborhood of 1 yre vrima colony of Pheniclans, and butlt the city of Thebes in Beotia, the citadeT ofnvhich took from Mm 5 name. He carried along StluV htm the art of writing., The government was! variable, ' The misfortunes ol KLaius, of Jocasta; of Kdipua,of Etec uc3, uuu ui -yijuites, arc iaentinea with the bistpry of the Thebans, and havi furnished1 subjects ;for the thea ires. 1 ' The magistrate 1 Were Beo.

Properly speaking, Sitiphus was the first king, the Corinthians having previously submitted to those cf Argo and My cene. Her commenctmerit is much more obscure than that of the other cities just mentioned. Generally, the government of Corinth was oligarch ic.' About 100 years alter tne siege of Troy, the race of Siriphus was dri ven out, and to it succeeded that ol the B cchide5. under whom Corinth assumed a republican form of rule, wi:h the authority in the fwnds of the elders. The magistrates Wcre the Prvtanes, of an aristocratical cast, e Ucted b the elders, who chose them .nnually oUt of their own body. Co i inth-was most distinguished during the Achean league, when this city was rtgarded as the first of Greece. In the year 146 before Christ it was taken by the Roman general Mum. mius, who consigned the houses to the flames and rased the walls. No thing could surpass the riches of the place in metals' nod in master-works of all kinds. With the destruction of Corinth the independenceof Greece became extinct. V or i cu t and important ohjeett of Grecian Hittory. 'The Olympiad was an, interval of time, corresponding to four .of ourj years, which elapsed between two' successive celebrations of the Olym oic crimes. It served the Gieek3 for a mode of computing time. The AmphycUons was a diet, the council and supreme tribunal ol the Gietk confederation, composed of deputies from every member of the confederacy, and it assembled evtiy car at Tlurmopvle. - The Arecpagus was a celebrated court of justice at Athen-. 1 he num ber ol its members va i.ot fixed, ii as composed of Archons who had gone out'cfQffice and who had wor thily discharged their duties. No tri bunal ever had a greater reputation for wisdimn and equity. It more es pecially exercised authoriry over the morals and the education of the youth. It interdicted in the deliberations of its members the use of declamation, that their understandings might not be seduced by eloquence ; and it held its sittings in the night in order to elude the influence of gesticulation. Its decrees were enacted by a simple plurality ; and, in case of division, a subaltern officer added, in favor, of the accused, the suffrage of Minerva. 7 be Jour Public and Solemn Games of Greece. The Olympic Games, celebrated e very four years in honor of Jupiter. The Pythian Game, celebrated e very four years in honor o&Apollo.
