 Religion in Hellenistic Athens
Until now, there has been no comprehensive study of religion in Athens from the end of the classical period to the time of Rome's domination of the city.
Jon D. Mikalson provides a chronological approach to religion in Hellenistic Athens, disproving the widely held belief that Hellenistic religion during this period represented a decline from the classical era.
Drawing from epigraphical, historical, literary, and archaeological sources, Mikalson traces the religious cults and beliefs of Athenians from the battle of Chaeroneia in 338 B.C. to the devastation of Athens by Sulla in 86 B.C., demonstrating that traditional religion played a central and vital role in Athenian private, social, and political life.

A letter signed by Stephen Morgan, president of La Verne California, was addressed to the students, although the first to receive it on September 17 were the staff at the Athens campus.
La Verne, Athens, faculty members were no less incensed at the manner in which the decision to shut down the college was relayed to them and decided to take its fate into their own hands.

ATHENS — Dan Doctoroff, the deputy mayor for economic development and rebuilding for New York City, feels as though he just has finished competing in his own version of the Athens Olympics.

Doctoroff and about 25 other members of the NYC2012 bid committee, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who jetted in for a weekend, took full advantage of the city's position as one of the five chosen by the IOC to participate in the race to host the 2012 Summer Olympics.
