Document Summary

The real subject was the superiority of greek. The back of the temple has two gods fighting over the city of athens. If sparta were destroyed the remains of the city would say little about the power of the city. It was also a projection of the power of athens. Classical art was the impression and result of the athenian city-state. This made the city to seem twice as great as it was. Also, the political state of the city and projected that athens was superior and. Served a social function and civically should rule over others. Around the time of the plague in athens the basic attitude of the greeks towards their existence had changed. Rationality of the human being failed to save humanity from itself. Old cults of the olympian gods begin to fail especially with those who are educated, cult continue to exist but in different ways- culture, literature, tourist sites, etc.
