Athens, the capital and largest city of Greece, is located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula and has a typical Mediterranean climate, with warm and humid winters and little rain and sunshine in summer.

It is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the world, with a well-documented history of more than 3,000 years, and is known as the 'cradle of European civilization'.

It is also the birthplace of European philosophy, which has had a significant impact on the development of European and world culture, giving birth to a large number of historical greats such as Socrates and Plato, and is the origin of the so-called folk cooking.

In the entire Western world, Athens can even be called the spiritual home of the people, and its position is extremely important.

After more than 3,000 years, Athens still retains many historical sites and a large number of works of art, radiating the light of civilization.

The most famous of these is the Parthenon on the Acropolis, which is considered a symbol of Western culture and stands atop the Acropolis.

In addition, Athens is also the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games, having hosted several Olympic Games.

When Ye Tian and their convoy entered the city of Athens, darkness still shrouded this ancient city, and the people living in this city were sleeping in their dreams.

Because of the deep night, although Ye Tian and the others had entered Athens, they could not appreciate the beauty of the city and experience the historical charm accumulated over the past 3,000 years, which was somewhat regrettable.

However, as the convoy entered the center of Athens and bypassed several hills of varying heights, everyone's eyes lit up.

Not far in front of the convoy, the Parthenon, standing on the top of the Acropolis hill, suddenly broke into everyone's field of vision.

Although it is early in the morning, darkness covers the earth and the whole city, but under the illumination of the landscape lights, the Parthenon, located on the top of the Acropolis, looks resplendent, simple and solemn!

Suddenly, it looks like a temple falling from the sky, radiating an incomparably brilliant light, illuminating the whole of Athens, the entire Western world, and Western civilization!

Seeing this scene, an exclamation immediately sounded in the convoy.

"Wow! It's magnificent! It's amazing! That's when I really appreciate the greatness of the Parthenon!"

"The Parthenon is so beautiful, who would have thought that such a magnificent and solemn temple was built more than 2,500 years ago, it is incredible!"

Unlike those who were amazed by the convoy, looking at the splendid Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis, Ye Tian had another feeling!

This ancient Greek temple, which is regarded as a symbol of Western culture, is one of its most famous representative works for its most famous carving art, which is from Phidias, the first of the three great sculptors of ancient Greece.

The Temple of Pat was built to celebrate the victory of Athens over the Persian invaders, and was dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, art and war, the patron goddess of the ancient city of Athens.

The city of Athens takes its name from its patron deity.

The statue of the goddess Athena, once enshrined here, was created by the master of carving art Phidias, and is one of his famous representative works.

It was a statue of Athena inlaid with gold and ivory, about 12 meters high, and was the largest statue of Athena in ancient Greece at that time.

In addition to this statue of Athena, there are two other statues of Athena by Phaedias in the ancient city of Athens.

One statue in Syntagma Square, nine meters high, and the other on a pillar at the Acropolis Gate, about seven meters high, are among the finest works of art.

It is a pity that these statues of the goddess Athena have disappeared into the long river of history and are missing.

These statues of Athena, as well as the other sculptures by the master Phaedias, have disappeared and have not been handed down, only in legends.

The only sculpture that has survived to Phaedias, for which it is widely known, is the carving on the Parthenon.

It is these carvings on the Parthenon, the most perfect specimens of these classical carvings, that establish the position of Phidias as the first of the three great sculptors of ancient Greece, and it is indisputable.

Everyone thought that, in addition to these classical reliefs on the Parthenon, the independent sculptures of Phidias had long since ceased to exist.

But who would have thought that in Ye Tian's hand, there was a statue of the goddess Athena that came from the hands of Phidias and had been pieced together by about seventy percent.

Once the statue of Athena is put together, even if it is not finished, it will be displayed to the public, announcing that it is the work of Phedias, the ancient Greek god of carving, and that it is the statue of Athena created by him.

At that time, what kind of scene will appear and what a huge sensation it will cause, even people like Ye Tian who have seen and handled countless top antique artworks dare not imagine.

In front of this statue of Athena of Phidias, the two treasures of the Louvre, "Venus de Milo" and "Statue of Victory", are not enough to see, and their value is far from the same!

There is no doubt that this statue of Athena of Phidias, once unveiled publicly, will surely shake the whole world and cause countless people to go crazy.

Especially the Greeks, the Athenians, and all the Westerners, I am afraid that they will go on a pilgrimage like a tidal wave to worship under this statue!

The Parthenon, a symbol of Western culture, stands on the top of the Acropolis, but the only statue of Athena in the world, created by Phidias and supposed to be enshrined in the Parthenon, is on display in its own museum!

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Tian felt refreshed, and he wanted to cheer excitedly, not to mention how happy he was!

It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at the hotel it had booked.

This is a five-star hotel located at the foot of the Acropolis, a stone's throw from the Acropolis, less than a five-minute walk and even less than 100 meters from the Acropolis Museum.

Staying in this hotel, you can open the windows and even lie in bed and look up to see the glittering but simple and solemn Parthenon, which has a wonderful view.

Because of the scenery and unique geographical location, Ye Tiancai booked this five-star hotel and chartered a full two-story room as everyone's residence in Athens.

In this way, you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the city of Athens in the days before and after you go out to sea to explore the treasures of ancient Roman shipwrecks, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Ye Tian's arrival made the Athens police and the hotel very nervous, and also raised the security level of this five-star hotel to the highest level.

In and around the entrance of this five-star hotel, you can see Greek police cars with flashing police lights, as well as heavily armed Greek police, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy.

The hotel security personnel also cheered up their spirits, staring at the team that had just arrived, staring at everyone in the team, and not daring to relax for a moment.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and Ye Tian and his party successfully completed the check-in procedures.

Next, Ye Tian greeted the Greek friends who accompanied him to the hotel, as well as the diplomats of the US Embassy, shook hands with these guys one by one, and sent them all away.

After that, he took David and Jason upstairs to his own presidential suite.

Entering the room, putting down the things in his hand and taking off his coat, Ye Tian immediately said to Jason:

"Jason, you go and inform everyone that you can move freely tomorrow and the next two days, have a good rest, adjust to the jet lag, and go out to visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Athens, but you must pay attention to safety.

In Europe, we have a lot of enemies, because of this exploration operation, there are a lot of our guys, if you go out to visit, you must go together, and there must be security personnel with you.

After two days, we will sail out to sea to explore the treasures of ancient Roman shipwrecks and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean, and after the exploration is over, I will set aside time for everyone to enjoy life!"

"Okay, Steven, I'll let you know."

Jason answered, and then turned and left the presidential suite.

Next, Ye Tian explained some things to Matisse and David, and these two guys also left one after another, went to their respective busy, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After they all left, Ye Tian first glanced at the Parthenon, which stood on the top of the Acropolis in close proximity, and then began to look at the presidential suite where he lived.

When admiring this exquisite and elegant presidential suite, he also secretly opened the perspective and thoroughly saw through this presidential suite, without letting go of any corner.

The upstairs and downstairs rooms of this presidential suite were also thoroughly viewed by him to prevent anyone from making a fuss, listening or plotting against him.

In fact, Mattis, who played the front station, has thoroughly investigated this place, and arranged a lot of anti-surveillance and monitoring equipment, as well as monitoring equipment, to keep this place watertight!

After making sure that there were no safety hazards, Ye Tian ended the perspective, retracted his gaze, and then walked into the bedroom.

At this time, the snow outside has stopped, and a hint of fish belly white appears on the eastern horizon, and a new day is coming!
