Athensg Capital of Culture Athens has become a sort of synonym for, and symbol of, art, culture and things of the mind generally. This is true in both Europe and America. It is true as well in other parts of the world where European-American ideas and symbols have exerted a deeply and widely felt influence. In ancient times Athens was the most creative of Greek city-states. Now the capital of all Greece, it has come to be universally regarded as the representative center of everything distinctively Greek or Hellenic-particularly during that country's Golden Age, which attained its apex about S00 B.C. It is the city of the Parthenon, the city of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, of Phidias, of Solon and Pericles of Aeschylus, of Sophocles, of Euripides, of Aristophanes and of Thucydides. It is, particularly as the representative of all ancient Greece, the birthplace of Western philosophy, science, drama, music, education, and systematic democracy. Even Homer, the founding father, as it were, of epic poetry in the European-American style, thought not a native Athenian, being a top name in ancient Greek poetry, would now be associated with Athens as the salient and symbolic creative-cultural center of Hellas. All this has given a position of supreme primacy to the shining old city built around the Acropolis. W. H. Rhoden Rome, Center of Power, Law, and Order The city of Rome was the Se-at of government and the chief city of the Roman Empire, which was the greatest achievement of ancient civilization. In spite of the fact that more than fifteen hundred years have passed since the disintegration of the Roman empire, Latin culture is still a vital force in the world today. Almost every aspect of modern life including modern technology owes much to the early foundations- that were laid in Rome many centuries ago. The greatest achievements of the Roman Empire lay in the arts of law and public administration, and in the work of skilled engineers. Long after the collapse of the empire in the West, during the fifth century, the rising nations of Europe continued to copy the Roman blueprint fo-r organizing governments, controlling commerce, and disseminating knowledge. The Latin language-the mother tongue of the Roman state--has enriched the languages of every civilized nation in existence today. We twentieth-century Americans are in-debted to the Romans for our knowledge and respect for the municipal and federal institutions we have established on this continent. The pattern for these institutions was created in ancient Rome. It was in Rome that the largest collection of art treasures was accumulated and preserved for modern man. The poet, soldier, banker, statesman, craftsman, engineer, and historian of contemporary America and Europe has received a rich legacy from the early beginnings and accomplishments of his craft in the Rome that existed a thou-sand years before the discovery of America.
