About the transliteration It is impossible to transliterate Greek words into English in a completely satisfying way. Here we have chosen a system which fits in well with classical Greek, the Greek which educated 18th- and 19th-century travellers would have been familiar with before leaving for abroad. The accents indicate where the stress lies in Modern Greek. In the quotations the transliteration used by the authors is maintained.
