TENEDOS.

We passed the isle of Tenedos, once under the patronage of Apollo, as he gave it in himself in the particulars of his estate when he courted Daphne. It is but ten miles in circuit, but in those days very rich and well-peopled; still famous for its excellent wine.

Tenedos is a small but fertile island of the Ægean Sea, opposite to Troy. It became famous during the Trojan War, as there the Greeks concealed themselves, the more effectually to make the Trojans believe that they were returned home without finishing the siege.
