Acquaint yourself with Athens! This amazing edition of FACES Magazine takes you to one of the original civilizations and see how much has changed—or not—since then.
They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Well in this FACES, when in Greece, you can eat like a Greek and learn to make your own olive oil ice cream (give it a try – you’ll be surprised!). And that’s just the start. Visit the Parthenon, discover the Greek Gods—and see how they continue to influence modern mythology, find out how Athens got its name, and learn the Greek alphabet. You’ll also get a basic introduction to the original three BIG thinkers and find out why Athens was the birthplace of democracy as we know it.
