Journey over 2500 years into the past and wrap yourself in the glory and turmoil that was Greece in the 6th century BC. This is a story about Athens, the most notable direct democracy on earth, an experiment that inspired many when it defeated the mighty Persian Empire and when it bloomed in the Greek Golden Age, but ultimately led to the collapse of the Athenian Empire and the defeat of Athens itself. Embark on a journey through this tumultuous time that would bring the city-state of Athens to the glittering heights of fame and glory and then plunge her into the mire of confusion and defeat.
