A Preview
"The eight-sided marble tower is the Tower of the Winds, and it's one of the cleverest buildings in Athens. Look up near the top. Each of the eight sides has a carved winged figure flying sideways across it, and each one is a wind. The north face has Boreas, an old man wrapped in a heavy cloak, blowing on a conch shell, because the north wind is cold."
