Fall of Greece: Demise of a Mighty Civilization

To know about the ancient Greeks, we should hark back to 508 BC, almost five centuries before Jesus Christ was born. A particularly odious night was beginning to unfurl. The streets in the small city of Athens were burning; there was chaos everywhere. The people had taken to the streets all guns blazing against their own rulers. They had just one demand: freedom, the freedom from the oppression and hegemony of the aristocracy, the freedom to live on their land with dignity, the freedom to voice their opinions and have a say in their future, the freedom to govern themselves. Under the layers and layers of dust and mildew, lies the fascinating tale of a civilization that fought the Persians, and the Spartans.

From oligarchy to democracy, from the dark ages to the golden era, from Greek Gods and Goddesses to astonishing legends and myths, from extraordinary architecture to remarkable political reforms, from building an empire of civilization to carving an empire of the mind, the story of ancient Greece civilization is like none other, and its glory is unparalleled.
