Athens - A City of Power

Athens was the greatest city-state in all of Ancient Greece. It was the cultural and intellectual heart of it, trained in all of the educational fields while having one of the most feared navies in all the land. Most people lived below a massive hill called Acropolis, on which a temple called the Parthenon stood, with their patron deity Athena sculpted inside in ivory. Athens was also the first democracy ever, paving the path for our world today, with it's educational, political and naval system.
