Athens is the capital city of Greece.
- mentioned in Young Hercules 1.05 - Girl Trouble, 1.09 - Amazon Grace.
- Ruled by King Letheus.
- Capitol city of the region of Attica.
- Slave trading is legal (or at least it was, until Hercules demanded that slavery be abolished as his reward for being the winning Champion).
- A half-week's walk from Cheiron's Academy.
- Can be reached by boat.
- Considering the King's robes and the clothing of the royal guards all heavily feature the black and white hide of Holstein cows, it is assumed that one of Athens's major exports has something to do with cattle.
When Hercules was being prosecuted by Spencius the trial took place in Athens (HTLJ: "Hercules on Trial"). Ironically, in spite of being the center of Greek politics and culture, the greatest of Greek heroes- Hercules, Xena, Iolaus and Gabrielle- rarely visited.
The Persian Army began to advance on Athens, which prompted the Spartans to retaliate. Xena and Gabrielle helped slow down the Persian Army (XWP: "One Against an Army").
