It was at oqe time so populous, that it could send 300,000 men into the field; yet iter annals are lost and its great unknown. All the information we learn is the fact of its greatness, alnd that its ruins are today under the bed pf a rive?' in southern Italy. Jt seems there was a quarrel ahiongst Hie rulers of this mighty city, au(|, ihe discontented joined witjh their enemies,, the protoujates, Who succeeded in captdVing Sybaris, its, inhabitant, .and* to make its ruin complete, changed thekiOHrse of Ari Vets eo-that ft- swept over of the once .nhsdhy municipality.
