"Struys, 'un aventurier neerlandais', produced a very interesting and lively account of his three voyages. The plates illustrate mostly sites in Persia and the East. Three plates refer to the Archipelago: Tenos (i.e. Tenedos), Pathmos and Delfos (i.e. Delos). Struys obviously had not actually seen Delos; he confuses Delos with Delphi and describes Mt. Parnassus as being on an island in the Aegean" (Blackmer Sale). "However, Struys kept no diary, so that by the time his narrative was finally published in 1676, his fanciful imagination had somewhat distorted the reality behind his journey. At sea he experienced typhoons, shipwrecks, hunger and captivity, and was several times sold as a slave, a misfortune always guaranteed to delight a seventeenth-century audience" (Howgego).
