The Cartoon of the Day
EDITORIAL

Fire risks and eyesores The pathetic state of the medians and flower beds along major highways and roads are an embarrassment and an outrage. One of the causes behind their appalling appearance is the fact that these parts of the public road network do not fall under the jurisdiction of any one particular authority and the task of their maintenance is often ping-ponged between the Ministry of the Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works and the local authorities.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

The Acropolis is more than the Parthenon As the Acropolis and its monuments declare to the world, nothing makes a grander statement than a grand building. Thucydides, in his unforgettable chronicle of the decline and fall of Athens, noted that in the future people would look on the ruins of his city and consider it greater than it was, while the ruins of its great rival, Sparta, would make the Peloponnesian city appear less mighty than it was.
