	Piraeus
		The Peiraeus was a parish from early times, though it was not a port before Themistocles became an archon of the Athenians.
		But when Themistocles became archon, since he thought that the Peiraeus was more conveniently situated for mariners, and had three harbors as against one at Phalerum, he made it the Athenian port.
		The three chief arsenals of Peiraeus were Munychia, Zea and Cantharus, which could contain 82, 196 and 94 ships respectively in the 4th century BC.

	Plutarch: Life of Aratus (2) - translation
		He had a strong desire to restore Athens to its liberty, and exposed himself to the severest censures of the Achaeans by attempting to surprise the Peiraeus while there was a truce subsisting between them and the Macedonians.
		Like a person violently in love, his miscarriages did not prevail upon him to desist, for, as his hopes were disappointed only by the failure perhaps of a single circumstance, and he was always within a little of succeeding, he still encouraged himself to go on.
		Though he was not general of the Achaeans that year, and was so much indisposed besides, by long sickness, as to be forced to keep his bed, yet he caused himself to be carried in a litter, to render them his best services.

	Attica: Description of Greece by Pausanias
		For those built by Themistocles after the retreat of the Persians were destroyed during the rule of those named the Thirty.(404-403 B.C.) Along the road are very famous graves, that of Menander, son of Diopeithes, and a cenotaph of Euripides.
		Lachares took golden shields from the Acropolis, and stripped even the statue of Athena of its removable ornament; he was accordingly suspected of being a very wealthy man, and was murdered by some men of Coronea for the sake of this wealth.
		For he was the first to scale the fortification, and the first to rush into the Museum; and when he fell fighting, the Athenians did him great honor, dedicating his shield to Zeus of Freedom and in scribing on it the name of Leocritus and his exploit.

	Who are the Wreckers? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In the last ten-day period's joint conventions, you have all seen with indignation what low means the faction leading the Party used to shut the eyes of comrades, facing the terrible problems which the opposition set to the Party for resolution.
		That this is clear slander, you all know from your own experience, because all of you after the conference saw the dedicated party work of the opposition comrades in Peiraeus, and especially of those portrayed as the most dangerous "wreckers".
		Today's announcement of the P.B. is an impudent answer to the unanimous indignation you expressed in your conventions against the methods of the P.B., methods which are not only antiproletarian and anticommunist, but corrupted in the most bourgeois way.

	Otto
		The attempt would have been perilous even for a strong man, a native ruler and an Orthodox believer; and Otto was none of these.
		His prestige, moreover, suffered from the "Pacifico incident" in 1850, when Lord Palmerston caused the British fleet to blockade the Peiraeus, to exact reparation for injustice done to a Levantine Jew who happened also to be a British subject.
		For the ill-advised intervention in the Crimean War, which led to a second occupation of the Peiraeus, Otto was not responsible; his consent had been given under protest as a concession to popular clamor.

		He also enjoyed the patronage of Ptolemy Soter, the son of Lagus, who invited him to his court.
		But Menander, preferring independence and the company of his mistress Glycera in his villa in the Peiraeus, refused.
		According to the note of a scholiast on the Ibis of Ovid, he was drowned while bathing; his countrymen built him a tomb or the road leading to Athens, where it was seen by Pausanias.
