"In Book Two of the Republic, Plato famously describes the “fevered” city, a
town bustling with artists, musicians, actors, butchers, barbers, courtesans,
and … confectionery!

Plato was clearly talking about the Athens of his day, but, over 2,000 years
later, he could have easily been talking about modern Athens.

The city remains just as hectic and sweet treats remain just as much a part of
the city’s landscape."

Share and enjoy,
