If a time traveler from 1939 was to land in the middle of today's Athens (GR) there would be a lot of changes to take in. There are more cars, stores and people to be sure. Plenty of causes for surprise. But there would also be a few familiar sights which would be a source of comfort for that visitor from the mid-20th century. The ancient Parthenon still looks down over the city from the rock of the Acropolis, as does St. George's chapel from the hill of Lycabetus.
