Osios
Loukas and Marathon
May 30
As we made our way back to Athens, we stopped at Osios Loukas, the Church
of St. Luke, a charming example of a Byzantine monastery in an idyllic
setting near the base of Mt. Parnassos; and Marathon, the battlefield
where the Athenians and Persians met in an epic confrontation in 490 BC
which proved the superiority of the new Athenian democracy.
