Note 676 — Chapter LXXXVII · FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE SACRED WAR TO THAT OF THE OLYNTHIAN WAR. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Demosthenes, Philipp. i. p. 48, 49. “The obstinacy and violence of the Etesian winds, in July and August, are well known to those who have had to struggle with them in the Ægean during that season” (Colonel Leake, Travels in Northern Greece, vol. iv. ch. 42. p. 426).
The Etesian winds, blowing from the north, made it difficult to reach Macedonia from Athens.
Compare Demosthenes, De Rebus Chersonesi, p. 93. s. 14.
