In this episode, we discuss the construction, the history, and the significance of the main buildings on the Athenian Acropolis (the Parthenon, The Propylaia, The Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and a few others); together, these buildings mark the high point of the glorification of Athens, and the Acropolis thus became a confident assertion of Athens’ cultural leadership of Greece, a bold endorsement of her self-image, and a dazzling instrument of political propaganda, with the result that many people later would consider the Athenian Acropolis to be the symbol of the legacy and the glories of Classical Greece Show Notes: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2017/12/065-athenian-acropolis.html   The History of Ancient Greece is powered by CLNS Media Network and Today's episode is brought to you by Great Courses Plus. Enjoy unlimited access to all of their courses FREE for One Month – but you need to sign up through THOAG's special URL @ https://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/Greece
