Transportation to Athens
Description
The first pre-historic settlements was constructed in 3000 BC around the hill of Acropolis. According to legend the King of Athens, Theseus, unified the ten tribes of early Athens into one kingdom in around 1230 BC. This process of synoikismos- bringing together in one home- created the largest and wealthiest state on the Greek mainland, but it also created a larger class of people excluded from political life by the nobility.
