Greece

A country page. It files the entries placed in Greece. These entries belong to Classical Athens, a city-state, not to the modern Greek state.

Facts

Modern capital
Athens.

Caution
Classical Athens was one city-state among many. 'Greece' on these entries is a place for filing, not a claim that a single Greek state existed in the 5th century BC.

The record

The Greece entries on this site are from Classical Athens: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Plato's Republic.

The modern Greek state and the long stretch between the ancient city and the modern country are not covered here.
