Synopsis

Excerpt from Chapters in the History and Civilization of Ancient Megara: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

It is the Megarians who became the early rivals of Athens for the supremacy of the sea. They first conquered Salamis and for a long period held it in spite of Athenian efforts to capture it. They were the first Greeks of the mainland to send colonies to the region of the Flack Sea, where they founded Pyzantium, a city destined by its location to become one of the most famous of all times; and in spite of the rivalry and designs of Corinth they were able to preserve their boundaries intact on the west and even to plant colonies in Sicily. [bring the Persian War they served the Greek cause faith fully.

With the loss of Salamis, however, megera's power began to wane. Finally, after the outbreak of the Pe10pcnnesian War,the surrounding country was harassed and invaded many times. Thus Megara's geographical position in the and meant her downfall and ruin. From now on she gradually declined until in Roman times she preserved only the memory of her former glory and was chief ly famous as a resort for tourists, as we learn from Cicero, Vergil and Pausa nias. The Roman poets, particularly those of the Augustan age, make frequent mention of her early history and her famous mythical kings.
