In general, what most impresses people about Greek city-states are their grand structures—temples, stadiums, theaters… Yet before Phoebidas and his entourage had even seen many such monumental buildings, they were already moved by the thoughtful designs and the clean, orderly appearance of the city.
Phoebidas had been to Athens before. That city, famed across the Mediterranean, though prosperous, was noisy and filthy; Sparta, while peaceful, was so plain that it resembled a rural village. Only in Thurii could simplicity, elegance, dignity, tranquility, and cleanliness blend together so harmoniously, forming an irresistible charm.
Dorobisis couldn't help but ask, "Who is the designer of this city?"
"Heraclides, a disciple of Hippodamus!" replied Oliveros loudly, noticing their astonished expressions.
