Many years ago, before I even started dating my husband, I visited Athens. I saw the Parthenon. It was almost surreal as I stood there and touched it. The columns were carved elaborately, and the entire temple made you sad to actually think that people used to worship Athena there. Athena had apparently won a contest against Poseidon, so she had the city of Athens named after her.
I saw other structures like the famous amphitheater, where theatrical performances began. I also saw the temple of Zeus, which only had a few remaining columns.
In the Museum of Athens, many famous works of art were displayed, such as the golden mask of Agamemnon. Many other statues and sculptures could be seen, even though most of the greatest historical pieces of art were taken to the British Museum in London.

How to Write a Mystery Story
My husband and I have wanted to go to Greece for a long time. We’ve got to break down and do it!
Great photos. Thank you for the great ideas for a Greece Unit Study in your video post. You looked great. Were there any goddesses with red hair? Besides you I mean. lol Have a wonderful day.
You’re so funny, Linda! I don’t think Greek people have red hair. Thank you for the encouragement.
