	Athens, city, Greece. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The main landmark of Athens is the acropolis (412 ft/126 m high), which dominates the city and on which stand the remains of the Parthenon, the propylaea, and the Erechtheum.
		Occupying the southern part of Athens, the Acropolis is ringed by the other chief landmarks of the ancient city—the Pnyx, where the citizens’ assemblies were held; the Areopagus; the Theseum of Hephaesteum, a well-preserved Doric temple of the 5th cent.
		Athens became a minor ally of growing Rome, and a period of stagnation was broken only when the city unwisely chose to support Mithradates VI of Pontus against Rome.

	archons - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Originally in Athens there were three archons: the archon eponymos (so called because the year was named after him), who was the chief officer of the state; the archon basileus, who was primarily connected with sacred rites; and the archon polemarchos (the polemarch, or military commander), who—theoretically, at least—had military leadership.
		The archons were elected, and after they had served and their records had been approved, they entered the Areopagus.
		After 487 BC the archons were chosen by lot; the office, which had previously been limited to the two upper classes, was opened to the third class.
