Athens is the capital of Greece, a country about the size of Alabama with a population of approximately 11 million people. It is considered the founder of democracy, where public debates and votes in the Pnyx date back to 6th century BC. The term Marathon comes from the 26 mile run by a Greek soldier to bring news of a battle victory to Athens. Athen’s history dates back to 3000 BC. Many statues on display in museums were created between the first and sixth centuries BC and were recovered from the sea.
