世界十大神秘古都一览：雅典(组图)

雅典

　　2.Athens

　　Democracy， math， philosophy， the Olympics…what didn’t come out of Athens， the ethereal capital of ancient Greece？ Athens fought long and hard， in conflicts on the sea and on land， to become leader of all Aegean city-states by the early 5th century BC. It celebrated its victories by building great temples like the Parthenon， the iconic symbol of art and architecture in ancient Greece. A plague—likely typhoid fever—contributed to the empire’s fall.

　　雅典

　　民主政治、数学、哲学、奥林匹克……还有什么辉煌成就不是出自古希腊首都雅典的呢？公元前5世纪，雅典经过海洋和陆地长期艰苦的征战成为爱琴海霸主。为庆祝胜利，雅典修建了帕台农等伟大的神庙，是祭祀女神雅典娜的主要神庙。
