The “founding fathers” drew us so much inspiration and so many lessons from the experience of the ancient Athenian Republic, 25 centuries ago. And the Greeks, for their part, in their own struggle for independence 200 years ago, turned their eyes to the example of the United States and sought the support of our country. “.
