Author Description

Excerpt from High School History of Greece and Rome The river system of all countries is determined by that of its Rivers mountains. As a general rule, high mountains and wide plains will be accompanied by large rivers, while narrow ravines will produce unmanageable torrents. The mountains of Greece are usually at a short distance from the sea, and nearly all the rivers are, in consequence, small and so rapid that they are unnavi gable. Most of them are comparatively shallow, except in winter and spring, when they are swollen with rains and melting snows.
