The Geography of Strabo, Volume 2 (of 3)

Note 201 — Chapter VI

W. (William) Falconer translation

Πώγων, pogon or beard. Probably the name is derived from the form of the harbour. Hence the proverb, “Go to Trœzen,” (πλεύσειας εἰς Τροιζῆνα,) addressed to those who had little or no beard.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
