Author writes:
"What I desire is that you fix your eyes every day on the greatness of Athens and fall in love with her...Mighty indeed are the marks and monuments of our empire which we have left. Future ages will wonder at us, as the present age wonders at us now." These worlds were addressed to Athenians by the great General and Statesman Pericles in the year 432 BC when the city-state he led could boast colonies and tribute-paying allies from as far afield as Sicily in the West and the Black Sea in the east. Today, more than 2,400 years later, tourists from all over the world descend on the Capital of Greece at the rate of some three Million Annually. Almost every one of them resolved to fix their eyes on the monumental relics of that greatness.
