Discover the god of wine and theatrical arts, his popularity in Greece and early Rome, and his eventual fall due to the indulgent festivities during his celebrations.
Culminate your captivating expedition at Pnyx, offering an unparalleled close-up view of the Propylae of the Acropolis, the sacred rock's entrance. There, you'll unravel the tale of the goddess Athena, from her miraculous birth to her triumphant victory over Poseidon, leading to the city adopting her name and becoming Athens.
