Scamander

Scamander

The correspondence Byron wrote and some of which he received during the tour.

Visited as of 1810-05-03: "... if they prefer riding lose their way {(as I did)} in a cursed quagmire of the Scamander who wriggles about as if the Dardan virgins still offered their wonted tribute." Karamenderes is the modern name of the river Scamander, along the lower course of which, according to the Iliad, the battles of the Trojan War were fought. It flows entirely within the Turkish province of Çanakkale. Wiki
