  History of Athens
Ira Cooper of Athens owned and sailed various sloops, among others the "Dutchess," "Utica," "Holbrook," and the "Reindeer." Syvester Nicholas was one of the most active business men running in connection with his brick and lime industries a fleet of sloops, barges, and steamboats.
Several large and powerful derricks were also added and a new boiler house contained the boiler and engine that operated a head saw having a capacity of 10,000 feet of lumber a day, and it operated the large marine railway.
Athens was a famous name in "Steamboat Days." They built some of the most beautiful and advanced Hudson River Steamboats at the site of the Athens Marine Railway, just to the south edge of our village, which spanned at least 79 years of continued use, if not for longer.

 Amazon.com: Apartment in Athens (New York Review Books Classics): Books: Glenway Wescott,David Leavitt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In this story about a Greek couple in Nazi-occupied Athens who must share their living quarters with a German officer, Wescott stages an intense and unsettling drama of accommodation and rejection, resistance and compulsion—an account of political oppression and spiritual struggle that is also a parable about the costs of closeted identity.
His 1945 APARTMENT IN ATHENS may lack the dazzling structurations of his recently rediscovered and greatly celebrated novella THE PILGRIM HAWK, but it is told with the same crystalline prose and is perhaps a deeper study of character.
Helianos are a couple living in Nazi-occupied Athens forced to share their apartment with a melancholy German officer; vaguely mistreated by him, they learn to bear up under their hardships for a good year.
