The panorama of Athens is one of the most recognizable and rich in symbolism of any city in the world: the columns and pediments of the Parthenon, the crowning temple of the Acropolis dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, reign over a city whose name is considered by many to be synonymous with the word "civilization". The importance of Athens - the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy and theater - simply cannot be denied. Few cities have a history so rich in artistic creativity and innovation, and so riddled with alternating upheavals and lulls. In Bruce Clark's narrative.
the epic, kaleidoscopic history of the city - from the legal reforms of the sixth-century B.C. legislator Solon to the trials of Athens in the early twenty-first century due to the effects of the economic crises of the 2000s - comes alive in all its cultural richness and political significance.
