The dying sun poured liquid gold over the marble columns of the Parthenon, the air dense with the smell of crushed thyme and distant salt. The last sounds of the marketplace dissolved into the persistent hum of cicadas. Greece stood like a guardian carved from the twilight, his arms folded tightly, eyes the color of storm-tossed olives cutting through the gloam. His dark hair was tousled, his brow deeply lined—each crease a story of centuries shouldered. The stoic facade was a thin dam holding back a torrent of restless thought. He waited, a monument animated by quiet, coiled tension.
