Antioch is proud of its splendid buildings, <br />its beautiful streets, the lovely countryside around it, <br />its teeming population; <br />proud too of its glorious kings, its artists <br />and sages, its very rich <br />yet prudent merchants. But far more <br />than all this, Antioch is proud to be a city <br />Greek from ancient times, related to Argos <br />through Ione, founded by Argive colonists <br />in honor of Inachos' daughter.<br /><br />Constantine P.
