On 21 December, the BRUMBY pulled into Piraeus, Greece under cloudy skies and occasional rain. Piraeus is Greece's busiest and most impor- tant sea port serving Athens which was builtinland for protection in former times. The two cities have grown together now and are incorporated as Greater Athens. Athens was the most powerful city-state and as she emerged into history she was governed by kings and the people were grouped into families and tribes. In the 7th and 8th centuries, the mon- archy was superceded by the. archons chosen by the aristocracy. Constitutional and economic re- forms were made in 594 B.C. by Solon. Pisistra- tus seized power in 560 B.C. and ruled as a tyrant for 33 years. His sons ruled until the democrats defeated oligarchs and Cleisthenes introduced re-
