Histories

+Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium is where the wide Thracian sea contracts until the passage between the island of Sciathus and the mainland of Nomos Magnisias [22.75,39.25] (department), Thessaly, Greece, EuropeMagnesia is but narrow. This strait leads next to +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, which is a beach on the coast of +Euboea [23.833,38.566] (island), Nomos Evvoias, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Euboea, on which stands a temple of Artemis.

The pass through +Trachis [22.55,38.8] (Perseus) Trachis into Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas [*](Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas in the narrower sense, not including +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly.) is fifty feet wide at its narrowest point. It is not here, however, but elsewhere that the way is narrowest, namely, in front of +Thermopylae [22.5583,38.8] (Perseus) Thermopylae and behind it; at Alpeni, which lies behind, it is only the breadth of a cart-way, and it is the same at the Phoenix stream, near the town of Anthele.
