Αθήνα Επιχειρήσεις

Athens was the spiritual and artistic center of Greece, the jewel of the ancient world. It was the city where the most precious values ​​of humanity were born. Philosophy, science, literature, art, and theater are some of the ideas that developed in ancient Athens.

Principles, considered the basis of Western Civilization and the core of today’s society such as democracy, freedom, justice and progressive thinking, first appeared and flourished in this majestic city.

A large share of Ancient Greek History is due to Athens. In the 5th century BC Athens fought the Persians twice. The Athenians who had become a great military power were victorious both times – at the battle of Marathon and at the naval battle of Salamis. The Persian War caused the Greek states to unite against the common enemy, and this event is one of the most important moments in Ancient Greek History.

Κατά τον 5ο αιώνα π.Χ., ο οποίος είναι γνωστός και ως o Χρυσός Αιώνας, ο μεγάλος πολιτικός άνδρας Περικλής ήταν επικεφαλής της πόλης.

Η Αθήνα ήταν η πρώτη Δημοκρατία και η πιο τρανή όλων των Ελληνικών Κρατών, δίνοντας ζωή σε ιδέες και αρχές που κανείς πριν δεν είχε σκεφτεί.
Την περίοδο εκείνη η Αθήνα αποτελούσε το πνευματικό και καλλιτεχνικό κέντρο της Ελλάδας, το διαμάντι του αρχαίου κόσμου. Ήταν η πόλη όπου γεννήθηκαν οι πιο πολύτιμες ηθικές αξίες της ανθρωπότητας: η φιλοσοφία, η επιστήμη, η λογοτεχνία, η τέχνη, και το δράμα. Αρχές που αποτέλεσαν τη βάση του Δυτικού Πολιτισμού και τον πυρήνα της σημερινής κοινωνίας, όπως η δημοκρατία, η ελευθερία, η δικαιοσύνη και η προοδευτική σκέψη, πρωτοεμφανίστηκαν και άνθισαν σε αυτήν την πόλη κατά τον 5ο αιώνα π.Χ.

Κατά τη διάρκεια της κυριαρχίας του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου, η Αθήνα παρέμεινε σημαντικό πνευματικό κέντρο.

Η Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορία διαχωρίστηκε σε δύο μέρη – δυτικό και ανατολικό – και η Αθήνα έγινε κομμάτι της ανατολικής Βυζαντινής Αυτοκρατορίας, της οποίας η κυριαρχία κράτησε για πάνω από 1000 χρόνια. Κατά τη διάρκεια της Βυζαντινής Εποχής, οι περισσότεροι αρχαίοι ναοί μετατράπηκαν σε εκκλησίες και για το λόγο αυτό η σημερινή Αθήνα είναι γεμάτη από δείγματα θαυμάσιας Βυζαντινής εκκλησιαστικής τέχνης.

Το 1834 ο Βασιλιάς Όθωνας Ι ονόμασε την Αθήνα πρωτεύουσα της Ελλάδας.

Το 1981 ολοκληρώθηκε η είσοδος της Ελλάδας στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και από τότε η Αθήνα έχει εξελιχθεί σε μια σύγχρονη και πολύπλευρη Ευρωπαϊκή πρωτεύουσα.
