| Down I rode from the Black Sea steppe to wreak vengeance on the men of Athens. |
| All you can see is the steppe and suddenly the village appears: a group of houses set in a square, along wide dirt tracks. |
| These wrens breed in rocky habitats, such as canyons, coulees, outcroppings, and talus slopes in the steppe and dry forests. |
| Breeds in wetlands in the steppe and forest-steppe zones, and in mountainous areas along narrow, fast-flowing rivers. |
| The original steppe was host to a myriad of species, including many small mammals such as susliks, pikas and voles, that are staple prey for sakers. |
| My driver had navigated through the arid steppe land without compass or map let alone one of those hateful satellite guidance systems. |
