Nashville is called the Athens of the South because of its large number of universities. It considers itself to be a place of great education, like Athens.
The good things about ancient Athens is, Athens is they had really good poets, they had great mathematics skills, they also have great artist. The bad things about ancient Athens is women didn't have many freedoms like the freedom to vote, go to the agora and all the things the men get to. Also another good things about Athens is it is still the capital of Greece, but Sparta is not a city anymore.
They were great tragic playwrights (tragic poets, tragedians) of Athens, in ancient Greece.
because it is the largest city in greece and it is a very beautiful place and that is why it is such a great tourist attraction.
SPARTA: best military in greece, and defeated athens. Not a great learning community, and trained for war almost constantly. ATHENS: The best place to go in ancient times, a luxurious place for citizens. Hope I helped:)
