The Acropolis has been inhabited since the Neolithic period and has been used as both a religious cult site and a residential area. Most Greek cities were built around a central hill or mound as it made a good-look out point and place to retreat in the event of an attack. From the Acropolis you can look out to sea and down onto the city, the remains of the ancient Agora and the Plaka which hugs the foot of the hill. TThe Parthenon was the central and largest of the Acropolis temples and was dedicated to Athena, it had rich decoration, statues, friezes and art work by the greatest artists of the time. In ancient times the Acropolis was the venue for the annual Athenian Festival of Panathenaia. When Athens was invaded by the Persians in 480BC the Acropolis and its monuments were destroyed. Under Pericles the Acropolis structures were rebuilt starting in 448BC. The 5 th century structures we see today were made from Pentelic marble. The Acropolis and its ancient structures (particularly the Parthenon) represent the pinnacle of Greek civilization, philosophy and art. Among the complex of archaeological discoveries on the Acropolis four main structures stand out: the Parthenon; the Propylaea; the Erechtheum and the Temple of Athena Nike.

No part of this site may be reproduced without our written permission. 10:00 Parthenon Visit Duration: 1 hour 0.1 KM, 2 minutes walking from The Acropolis The Parthenon is the main ancient structure on the Acropolis, a hill in the center of Athens. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the symbol of Athens and the most famous of the surviving structures from the world of ancient Greece. The building was originally built in honor of the goddess Athena, the city's patron. The Temple of Athena the Virgin ( Parthenon is the Greek word for virgin) was built following the Persian Wars in thanks of the city's victory. It was built on the site of an earlier temple which the Persians had destroyed. As rulers and occupiers changed the temple was used for different purposes including as a church, a mosque and a fortress. In the construction of the Parthenon the architect Entasis used optical illusions to create a light and elevated impression. The base of the columns, the stylobate , curves upward slightly and the columns swell slightly as they rise thus creating a more symmetrical impression as you look up at the edifice. The base of the Parthenon is 30.9 meters by 69.5 meters; the cella (inner chamber) was 29.8 meters by 19.2 meters; there Address: Acropolis, Athens were two colonnades of Doric columns supporting the roof. Originally the Parthenon would have been painted Phone Number: 210 3214172 with light blue ceilings and the statues in bright colors. Today we can only see the white marble.

Unfortunately structural changes were made in different eras to accommodate the building's changing Opening Hours: Daily 8am-5pm functions. For example the internal columns were removed to turn the temple into a church and when Web: converted into a mosque a minaret was added. The structure suffered at the hands of vandals, natural http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/3/eh355.jsp?obj_id=2384 disasters and tourists who stole pieces of the temple to take home. In 1687 the roof of the Parthenon was Note: Metro: Acropolis, access via Dionysiou destroyed when the Venetians attacked the city and the defending Ottomans turned it into a gun powder Areopagitou St. storage. A shell exploded causing irreparable damage. Lord Elgin played a major role in the "rape" of the Parthenon when he carried off a hefty portion of the sculptures and architectural pieces. This collection, known as Elgin Marbles is now on display in the British Museum of London. Other sculptures ended up in Paris and Copenhagen. Many of the Parthenon sculptures can be seen in the Acropolis Museum in Athens. Following the establishment of a Greek State in 1832 the more recent architectural additions were removed and much of the Acropolis and Parthenon restored. From April to October you can attend the Acropolis Sound and Light Show in English. © 2014-2015 visitacity.com All rights reserved. No part of this site may be reproduced without our written permission. 11:10 Theater of Dionysos Visit Duration: 1 hour 0.6 KM, 9 minutes walking from Parthenon On the southern slope of the Acropolis the pedestrian street of Dionysiou Areopagitou is the site of two ancient performance venues – the Dionysos Theatre and the Odeion Theatre of Herodes Atticas. The Odeion of Herodes Atticus is named after the man who financed its construction around 160-174AD. The Piraeus limestone structure was covered with marble and had a cedar wood roof. The 81 meter wide semi-circle of audience seats (cavea) appears to have been cut out of the surrounding natural rock and could at one time seat 5,500. The audience looks onto the orchestra (the floor in front of the stage where the chorus would stand) and onto the stage. Behind the stage is a three storey high skene, a 28 meter high building with arched niches where statues once stood. The highest point of the surviving structure reaches the 2 nd floor. The only way of seeing the Odeion up close is by attending a performance or from the Acropolis. The 4 th century BC Theatre of Dionysos was constructed on the site of an earlier theatre where the original Address: Dionysiou Areopagitou St., Athens, performances of famous classical Greek dramas were performed. Thus it is considered the birthplace of southern slope of Acropolis European theatre. Plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides had their premiers here.

BERG Game Design BNA Rules 1 ©Richard Berg, 1995 (1.0) INTRODUCTION A Greek Tragedy covers Greece’s two major wars after WWI: her attempt to seize the Ionian/western portion of Turkey, 1919-22 - the Ataturk game - and the woefully sorry invasion of Greece by Italy during WW II, Unarmed Goliath. In the Gameplayers series, the emphasis is on accessibility and playability, with as much historical flavor as we can muster. Given a choice between playability and historicity, we have tended to “err” on the side of the former. Each campaign has some of its own, specific rules; these are given in that campaign’s Scenario Book. Unless stated otherwise, the rules in this book apply top both campaigns. (2.0) COMPONENTS The game includes the following items: 2 22”x34” game maps ? sheet of combat counters (large) 1 sheet of informational markers (small) 1 Rules Book 2 Scenario Booklets 2 Charts & Tables Cards 1 ten-sided die (2.1) THE MAPS The gamemaps are overlayed with a grid of hexagons - hexes - which are used to regulate movement. The various types of terrain represented are discussed in the rules, below. The map of Greece is used for the Unarmed Goliath scenario; the map of Turkey for Ataturk. The two maps do link up; not that we provide any reason to do so.

Its construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, although decorations of the Parthenon continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an Parthenon 2 enduring symbol of Ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.[3] The Parthenon itself replaced an older temple of Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed in the Persian invasion of 480 BC. Like most Greek temples, the Parthenon was used as a treasury.

Organized by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports of Athens, Greece, with the collaboration of the Benaki Museum, Athens, and originally exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the exhibition includes major artistic holdings from Greece consisting of mosaics, sculptures, manuscripts, luxury glass, silver, personal adornments, liturgical textiles, icons, and wall paintings. About one third of the original exhibition will be presented in the Art Institute’s Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Art from September 27, 2014, through February 15, 2015. For more than 1,000 years, Greece was part of the vast Byzantine Empire, established in 330 A.D. by the emperor Constantine the Great, who moved the capital of the Roman Empire east to a small town named Byzantium in modern-day Turkey. Renamed for him and transformed into Constantinople, Byzantium would come to represent an empire of splendor and power that endured for more than a millennium. Greek replaced Latin as the official language, and Greece itself was home to important centers of theology, scholarship, and artistic production—as 1 evidenced by the luxurious manuscripts displayed in the exhibition.

You have chosen an apartment in the heart of Athens, in the old town of Plaka. In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes, local ceramics and souvenirs. Sidewalk cafes and family-run taverns stay open until late, and Cine Paris (next door) shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe. Following is a small list of recommendations and useful information for you. It is by no means an exhaustive list as there are too many places to eat, drink and sight-see than we could possibly put down. Rather, this is a list of places that we enjoy and that our guests seem to like. We find that our guests like to discover things themselves.
