Athens has a history stretching back to the fifteenth century BC and beyond. In the fifth century it became the most significant community for the development of political thought and practice, art and culture that has ever been seen, and which retains a vital influence on the present day world. There is no complete history of Athens available and "A Traveller's History of Athens" will cover that gap. It will look at the city from its inception right up to the twenty-first century.
