The 50 Years That Built Western Civilization: The Golden Age of Athens
In 480 BCE the Persians burned Athens to ash. Within 50 years that same city produced the Parthenon, the birth of theater, Socrates, the first historians, and democracy itself — more that still matters than any place in history, in half a century, on a rocky peninsula. But the Golden Age was built on an empire, paid for by allies who had no choice, and ended in a self-inflicted catastrophe. This is the story of genius and hubris in equal measure.
