ABSTRACT
”EVERY state and, indeed, every human establishment is the amalgam of a little humanity, a little ground, and a little water.” 1 Water, that vital necessity, is a result of climate. Long ago Hippocrates noted for the first time the influence of climate on the character of peoples. However much this theory may have been abused, it is none the less true that climate is one of the factors which, directly or indirectly, are a condition of human life. The Greek would not have been the Greek without the climate which Greece enjoys. 2
