No other city has contributed more to the civilization of mankind than Athens. It is the place where Socrates was born, Plato, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and many others. It is the place that humanism and democracy were born. The intellectual light that Athens created will always be alive.

  • @Osiwaw samee(:

  • I've noticed that it's still hard to find a vid with that title, but Youtube won't let me post the link to it's own site for the song (strange!)

    Search for:

    Hildegard Von Bingen - Vision; 1994 Song performed by Emily Van Evera, Sister Germaine Fritz, OSB

    and it should come up as the first hit.

  • The song is Vision - Hildegard von Bingen

  • is a perfect civilization.And the oldest civilization with culture and literature. respect'!

  • but democracy as a form av government ist bad, it's only useful und good when kombined with another form av government like a republik ^^

  • The fifth and fourth centuries were dark ages for the Greeks, there was poverty, ignorance, religious intolerance, civil war, piracy and plague. The major cities were not yet built. It was in the Roman times 200BC-600AD that the Greeks reached their peak. The Greeks reached the higest posts and created and built, during those golden times. The age of Pericles was a dark age for Hellas.
