<p>Pentelic marble found on Aegina. A young man standing, his head in profile, holds a small bird in his left hand and extends his right hand towards a hanging cage. He is accompanied by a sorrowful young attendant, who rests against a pillar with a cat crouched on top. Work of an artist who was possibly trained in the workshop of the sculptor Agorakritos and worked on the Parthenon frieze. 430-420 BC. Inv. 715. National Archaeological Museum of Athens.</p>

<p>Pentelic marble found in Athens in the Karameikos and built into the Themistocleian Wall. It shows a young Athenian warrior, fully armed, wearing a chlamys and striding vigorously on the field of battle. On his left arm he carries a shield. The holes in the forehead were probably used to attach a bronze helmet or wreath. The facial expression and sinewy body recall works by the Parian sculptor Skopas. The name of the dead warrior is inscribed on the epistyle of the naiskos: Aristonautes son of Archenautes, of the deme of Halai. The base of the loutrophoros preserved on the central akroterion of the naiskos indicates that he died unmarried. 350-325 BC. Inv. 738. National Archaeological Museum of Athens.</p>

<p>The <strong>Temple of Poseidon</strong>, located on <strong>Cape Sounion</strong> which marks the <strong>southernmost point</strong> of mainland Greece (except the Peloponnese Peninsula), is a stunning sight. About an hour or so away from <strong>Athens</strong>, it is a popular spot for day trips, especially to watch the sunset.</p>

<br />
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. A significant coastal urban area in the Mediterranean, Athens is also the capital of the Attica region and is the southernmost capital on the European mainland. With its urban area's population numbering over 3.6 million, it is the eighth-largest urban area in the European Union (EU). The Municipality of Athens (also City of Athens), which constitutes a small administrative unit of the entire urban area, had a population of 643,452 in 2021, within its official limits, and a land area of 38.96 square kilometres (15.04 square miles).<br />
<br />
Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years, and its earliest human presence beginning somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC. According to Greek mythology, the city was named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, but modern scholars generally agree that the goddess took her name after the city. Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. It was a centre for Hellenistic democracy, the arts, education and philosophy, and was highly influential throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy in its own right independently from the rest of Greece.<br />
<br />
In modern times Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. It is a Beta (+) – status global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is one of the biggest economic centres in Southeast Europe. It also has a large financial sector, and its port Piraeus is both the second-busiest passenger port in Europe and the thirteenth-largest container port in the world. The Athens metropolitan area extends beyond its administrative municipal city limits as well as its urban agglomeration, with a population of 3,638,281 in 2021 over an area of 2,928.717 km2 (1,131 sq mi).<br />
<br />
The heritage of the Classical Era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments, and works of art, the most famous of these being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western culture. Athens retains Roman, Byzantine and a smaller number of Ottoman monuments, while its historical urban core features elements of continuity through its millennia of history. Athens contains two World Heritage Sites recognised by UNESCO: the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Athens is home to several museums and cultural institutions, such as the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Benaki Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics, making it one of five cities to have hosted the Summer Olympics on more than one occasion.<br />
