Greek Capital of modern Greece
situated in Attica. It was named after the goddess
Athene. Athens was inhabited even before the
Bronze Age (2000–1000 b.c.). It is the site of many
architectural and archaeological wonders, such as the
Acropolis, an ancient fortress, and the Parthenon, one
of many temples surviving from antiquity. Athens was
(and is) the cultural center of the Greek world.
