Geography · True or False?

Athens is known as "The Eternal City"

The answer is False.

Explanation

That title most commonly refers to Rome, a nickname coined by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC as Urbs Aeterna, reflecting the belief that the city would endure forever. Athens, meanwhile, is often called the "cradle of Western civilization" and the "birthplace of democracy".
