Athens, the prize in a divine contest. The god of the sea and the goddess of wisdom each wanted Athens for their own. They descended from Olympos to vie for the city considered to be the most beautiful in the world. Athena won and bestowed upon the city her sacred tree, the olive, and her name.
Athens, the city of Athena. Once the centre of the world, with the most eminent philosophers, the greatest writers, the best sculptors humanity has ever known. It was truly a golden age. The Athenians used their artistic masterpieces for their everyday needs, they flocked to the theatre to see Sophocles’ latest tragedy, and they climbed up to the Acropolis to be alone with their gods. For on the Acropolis you spoke with the gods. |
