"Bet us have the Athens of th* south,” said a member of the Auckland City Council when a civic centre proposal was under discussion, says an Auckland paper. As a matter of fact, there is already an Athens in New Zealand, a small village on the Wanganui River, known by the native name of Atene. Nearby is Koriniti, which hides the identity of Corinth.
