A Preview
"You've found Kapnikarea, the eleventh-century church sitting in a hole in the middle of the shopping street. Look at where the pavement goes. Ermou splits and runs past it on both sides, the shop fronts with it, and the ground drops away to meet the church door. The church got here first. Ermou is eight hundred years younger. And it hasn't sunk, whatever it looks like. Athens rose around it."
