Orontes

Orontes is the principal river of Syria, rises in the western slopes of Anti-Lebanon, and flows northward through Syria, turning at last South-West to the Mediterranean. Its course of 150 miles is through country in many parts well cultivated, past the towns of Hems and Hamah, and latterly through a woody ravine of great beauty.
