A bold tribute to the Cradle of Democracy on the Rock of the Acropolis where Athens, the capital of Greece and one of the oldest cities in the world continuously inhabited for over 3,000 years, gave Western civilization its most foundational gifts: democracy, philosophy, theatre, and the Olympic Games, where the Acropolis, the sacred rock rising 156 metres above the city crowned by the Parthenon temple to Athena built between 447 and 432 BCE under the direction of Pericles and the sculptor Pheidias and considered the supreme achievement of ancient Greek architecture, has served as the defining image of Western civilization for two and a half millennia, where the Agora below the Acropolis where Socrates taught, Plato debated, and the first democratic assembly voted on the laws of the polis gave the world the concepts of citizenship, free speech, and self-government that underpin every modern democracy, and where Athens's extraordinary museum quarter including the Acropolis Museum, the National Archaeological Museum housing the Antikythera mechanism, and the Benaki Museum make the city an incomparable repository of the heritage of ancient Greek civilization.
