Athens, Splendors and Innovations of Ancient Greece | SLICE EXPERTS | FULL DOC

In this film, we explore Athens, a small settlement founded around 3,000 BC that, by the 5th century BC under Pericles, became a beacon of ancient Greek civilization. Athens, the birthplace of democracy and the city where the first Olympic Games were held, dazzled with architectural marvels like the Parthenon and the Propylaea, showcasing the technical mastery and beauty of its era. The city’s agora was a hub for debate, law, and ideas, surrounded by magnificent structures. Athens' influence extended to the sea with the creation of the port of Piraeus, home to the mightiest fleet in the Western world. This extraordinary city, the richest and most powerful in ancient Greece, stands as a testament to a nation of visionary builders, thinkers, and inventors who revolutionized architecture and left a lasting legacy.
