196. _The Island of Ægina._--Having occasion to make some inquiry about
the island of Ægina, in Greece, I have been sadly perplexed by the
discrepancies of the modern authorities I have had an opportunity of
consulting. The principal of these relates to the site of the temple of
Jupiter, or Zeus Panhellenios, which Dr. Smith's _Classical Dictionary_,
and M'Culloch's and Fullerton's _Gazetteers_, place in the N.E. part of
the island; Fullerton, however, saying also that Mount St. Elias lies in
_the south part_, though he does not say that the temple is built on
that mount. But Blaikie's _Gazetteer_ says that the temple stands on
_Mount St. Elias_, which, according to Fullerton, is in the _south_.
With this agrees the map in the _Topographisch-historisch Atlas von
Hellas_, &c. von H. Kiepert, Berlin, 1846, which distinctly places the
"Tempel von Zeus Panhellenios" in the _south_ part of the island while
the temple in the _north-east_ is called "Tempel von Athena." The Atlas
to Anacharsis' _Travels_ places it also in the _south_. Which of these
authorities is right? or, can any of your readers tell me, from personal
knowledge, in what part of the island the said Temple of Zeus
Panhellenios really stands?
