Athens gave the world its modern political system - the birth of “democracy” is a long and complicated yet utterly galvanizing process. Even the Gods have a say in worldly doings. The city beneath the Acropolis becomes the very cradle of western culture.

Many think likewise, but it was a battle even to make Parthenon paraplegic-friendly by placing an elevator on the side of the hill. Many want it untouched, as-is, almost religiously. I'd like it to return on its glory but I'm afraid in case it will become just another building since many Western countries adopted the Doric rhythm.

There is a replica of the Parthenon at Centennial Park, Nashville TN. Constructed of plaster, wood, and brick for the 1897 Centennial Exposition, it was rebuilt in concrete between 1920 and 1931. A full scale sculpture (fiberglass and plaster on a steel and aluminum frame) of Athena Parthenos was completed in 1990.

The rise of Athens to a leading position was due to democracy. Which led to an unparalleled blossoming of the Arts and Sciences of the 4th and 5th century B.C. They spread their culture across the Mediterranean, influencing such cities as Rome, who of course, would then go on to change the world forever. 🤔

I see many people bothered about the importance of Greek culture in the whole world. Greek philosophy was the base of every philosophical movement in Europe ever since. Influencing not only Romans, and later Renaissance and the West but it was equally important in the eastern Europe though the Byzantine empire transmitted to the Slavic people such as Serbia, Russia (via the Orthodox Byzantine culture) Greek philosophy and science was equally important for the early Islam which during its golden age made serious observations and discussions on ancient Greek philosophy and scientific breakthroughs which in their turn transmitted it to the whole Muslim world. Greek philosophy before all that had reached India, influencing the Indian philosophy creating new philosophical movements. The Greek art produced the first anthropocentric image of Buddha while before Buddha could only be represented by a written form. Theater - Mathematics - Architecture - The idea that everything should be examined by logic without religion being involved - Democracy and the belief that people could govern their state by their elected leaders and not some king or an aristocracy. Greeks experimented in order to prove that something is indeed and set a rule that experiment is demanded to test the validity of anything. Their ways affected not only their known world but through the people they influenced, their ideas reached the whole world...whether in Christian Europe, Islamic World, Indian subcontinent or in the modern period through the USA. A truly universal culture that almost all people today around the world has more or less a cultural connection to the ideas they came up.

@@eman3815 The early Islamic schools as also the Christian ones were reading Plato, Aristotle, Heron, Socrates, the Cynics etc and they made quite a lot of accounts taking the ancient Greek conversation further for universal subjects in accordance to their new faiths and many Islamic and Christian aspects were created being heavily influenced from the ancient Greek thought, something that common people today can't recognize or see clearly unless they read about it. Isn't secret that the golden age of Islam had some of the best literary schools and libraries of the time...having in their disposal thousand of ancient Greek manuscripts.

Interestingly the birth civilisation and democracy was born in Greece at the time when the Zoroastrian Achaemenid occupied it. A lot of the Greek gods are depictions of the old Sumerian/Hittite gods. From Marduk as Hercules and Zues as Enki. What western history lacks, is that all modern civilisation actually started in the Mesopotamia. Probably in the city of Mesopotamia and Fertile Crescent Riha/Urfa. With the find of Gire Mirazan.

Zacharias Papantoniou (Greek: Ζαχαρίας Παπαντωνίου) was a Greek writer. He was born in Karpenissi of Evrytania in February 1877 and died in Athens in 1940. He spent the first years of his life in Granitsa, where his father was a teacher. Apart from a writer, he was also a journalist. Many of the works of Zacharias Papantoniou, unfortunately, are censored because they tell the truth on Greek history. In that censored group is also the book, ''The King Otto''. Below we state a fragment from this book: ''The young Prince for first time come in Athens on January 25, 1833, he hardly heard anyone speak in Greek and so he asked: "Where are the Greeks in Athens?" His court looked at each other and answered: "There are no Greeks, but do not be troubled because this Albanian population will always be faithful to your monarchy."

It is also known, that Athens relied heavily on mercenary armies and that foreigners also were enlisted in war in exchange of citizenship. Slaves also fought in war, although is debated if they were forced by their masters, or did it voluntarily. I'm not sure why this fact was skipped on this documentary.

I think that Athens and the Roman society shaped modern society. I think you can take things from the Romans and the Greeks that contributed to modern society and Democracy. I enjoy learning about the ancient world. One of my favorite things about the Greek culture beyond their temples and their art is the lighthouse at Alexandria. To me the lighthouse and the Port of Alexandria are amazing 🤩.

I agree let's have it look like it did when it was new? Do we always have to make this stuff look like it was blown up? I think the ancient Greeks would want it that way.

The rich STILL have considerably more power in our current democrasies. Why would we expect it to have been different back then? We lowly members of society get to (or have to) vote, but it's the rich that always get the spoils, seemingly no matter who is elected.
