Greece
The Birth of a Civilization
Among marble temples and sanctuaries dedicated to the gods arose a civilization whose thought continues to inspire the world.
There emerged an ideal of beauty, a philosophy of reason, and a conception of honor whose influence endures to this day.
The Guardian
He did not fight to conquer the world.
He fought to attain a glory capable of surviving death.
Because for a Greek, honor was the only way to overcome oblivion.
Corinthian Helmet
Bronze grows old.
Glory remains.
