AGITATION IN THE MOREA 45 time been abroad, and among the superstitious population this had been intensified, in the autumn of 1820, by a terrific earthquake which convulsed the Peloponnese. Yet, though the Mussulmans were well aware of the rising which the rayahs had in contemplation, they neglected, with their usual impassiveness, even the most ordinary precautions. The impregnable towers and fortresses, with which the country was studded, would have afforded, had they taken the trouble to arm and provision them, irresistible barriers to the progress of irregular and ill-armed forces. As it was, the storm, when at last it broke, found them utterly unprepared, and swept them away in the first outburst of its fury, before they had time to concert measures of resistance. The supineness of the Ottomans was paralleled by the unpractical character of the Greek preparations; for of a consistent and well-pondered scheme there was no question. Emissaries of the Hetairia, so-called apostles too often unscrupulous agitators who embezzled the money subscribed for the cause travelled about the country, everywhere inflaming the passions of the people against their Turkish masters, and calling on them to take up arms for the cause of religion and liberty. Of these agitators the best known and most influential was the Archimandrite Dikaios, popularly known as
