Abstract: Abstract This small chapter describes the last preparations for a long-distance return merchant trip to its original destination. It also describes some important monuments, which indirectly indicate the great economic power of the states that launched their construction, such as the Athena Parthenos on the Acropolis and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, in the center of Athens.
