Even on the most smog-bound of days, the rocky outcrop on which the Acropolis stands is visible above the sprawling roof-scape of the Greek capital. Athens presents one of the most recognizable and symbolically potent panoramas of any of the world's cities: the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon-the temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, that crowns the Acropolis-dominate a city whose name is synonymous for many with, civilization itself. It is hard not to feel the hand of history in such a place. The birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy and theater, Athens's importance cannot be understated. From the legal reforms of the lawmaker Solon in the sixth century BCE to the travails of early twenty-first-century Athens, Clark brings the city's history to life, evoking its cultural richness and political resonance in this epic, kaleidoscopic history.
