The view from the Parthenon was panoramic. You can clearly see the harbor below and Athens is laid out down below in a bowl shaped depression. There is a haze the veils the city in a gentle brown. .Athens looks to be made out of building blocks of cement that are six to seven stories high.
When you gaze out upon the landscape is looks like the inside of a geode all angles and jagged.
The history is so ancient it just is hard to grasp for Americans who have maybe 300 years under their belt. We are mere infants in the annals of time.
