Pausanias, came from Amasia (Sam-
soun) on the Black Sea, and from
Caesarea.

Halicarnassus.
Homer was of Smyrna and the charm-
ing poet Anacreon was likewise an
Ionian.
Finally, a fact brought out so truly

Democracies, the idea of justice as

As Felix Sartiaux has said, "the
Greeks were the first to substitute law
for commandment, to replace compul-
sion and constraint with persuasion and
free consent. They, for the first time,
brought to realization, in the case of the
individual and society, that which the
League of Nations seeks to accomplish
between nations, and which it could not
undertake if the ancient Greeks had not
made the experiment and proved the
theory.
