Excerpt from Athens; Its Rise and Fall, Vol. 1: With Views of the Literature, Philosophy, and Social Life of the Athenian People
The received account of the agricultural skill of the Pelasgi IS tolerably well supported.' Dionysius tells us that the Aboriginals having assigned to those Pelasgi, whom the oracle sent from Dodona into Italy, the marshy and unprofitable land called Velia, they soon drained the fen -their love of husbandry contributed, no doubt, to form the peculiar character of their civilization and religion.
