Athens takes readers on a journey from the classical city-state to today's contemporary capital, revealing a world-famous metropolis that has been resurrected and redefined time and again. Although the Acropolis remains the city's anchor, Athens' vibrant culture extends far beyond the Greek city's antique boundaries. James H.S. McGregor points out how the citatheyscape preserves signs of the many actors who have crossed its historical stage. Alexander the Great incorporated Athens into his empire, as did the Romans. Byzantine Christians repurposed Greek temples, the Parthenon included, into churches. From the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, the city's language changed from French to Spanish to Italian, as Crusaders and adventurers from different parts of Western Europe took turns sacking and administering the city. An Islamic Athens took root following the Ottoman conquest of 1456 and remained in place for nearly four hundred years, until Greek patriots finally won independence in a blood-drenched revolution. Since then, Athenians have endured many hardships, from Nazi occupation and military coups to famine and economic crisis. Yet, as McGregor shows, the history of Athens is closer to a heroic epic than a Greek tragedy. Richly supplemented with maps and illustrations, Athens paints a portrait of one of the world's great cities, designed for travelers as well as armchair students of urban history. 546 In English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 City planning|zGreece|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009119748|zAthens|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79018143-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Historic buildings|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85061097|zGreece|zAthens.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79018143-781 650 7 City planning.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862177 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Historic buildings.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 957723 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|zGreece.|2bisacsh 650 7 Buildings.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/840962 650 7 Travel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1155558 651 0 Athens (Greece)|xDescription and travel.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85009118 651 0 Athens (Greece)|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85009120 651 0 Athens (Greece)|xBuildings, structures, etc.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009115476 651 7 Greece|zAthens.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204474 651 7 Athen.|2gnd 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMcGregor, James H.
