      Very true Osiris. The Slavs in Athens did no justice to it and the Albanians that came in just made it decline into an Albanian village.

        In his book "Die Griechen" / "The Greeks" , H D F Kitto from Bristol University among other things, will note:

              We learn from Tacitus that even in his time the race of Athenians was extinct. Which ethnic Greeks (Athenians) are we hoping to find in the 12th/13th century AD?



              Now Cneius Piso, hurrying to the execution of his purposes, terrified the city of Athens by a tempestuous entry, and reproached them in a severe speech, with oblique censure of Germanicus, that, debasing the dignity of the Roman name, he had paid excessive court, not to the Athenians, by so many slaughters long since extinct, but to the then mixed scum of nations there
