As we delve into the city’s historical narrative, we enter the 6th century BCE, marked by significant social unrest. These tumultuous times prompted the reforms instituted by Solon, which would later pave the way for the introduction of democracy under the leadership of Cleisthenes in 508 BCE.
Subsequently, Athens entered a glorious era known as the Golden Age of Athenian democracy. During this period, the city ascended to become the preeminent hub of Ancient Greece, and its cultural accomplishments laid the very foundations upon which Western civilization would flourish.
