﻿1
00:00:07,401 --> 00:00:15,889
Mandy gasped for breath beside a temple column.

2
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:19,587
"I wish Vinnie were here," she said.

3
00:00:19,588 --> 00:00:23,625
Jason and Vinnie headed toward the Parthenon.

4
00:00:23,626 --> 00:00:26,675
But Socrates stopped them.

5
00:00:26,676 --> 00:00:31,817
"It may not be wise to enter the temple," Socrates warned.

6
00:00:31,818 --> 00:00:37,351
"Great Socrates," said Jason, bowing. "Why?"

7
00:00:37,352 --> 00:00:42,219
"That name sounds familiar," thought Vinnie.

8
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:48,897
"Inside, a young girl is holding a strange light," Socrates said.

9
00:00:48,898 --> 00:00:50,817
It was Mandy!

10
00:00:50,818 --> 00:00:54,944
"Jason, that's my sister," Vinnie said.

11
00:00:54,945 --> 00:00:57,082
"She won't harm anyone."

12
00:00:57,083 --> 00:01:00,944
"But Socrates said . . . ," cried Jason.

13
00:01:00,945 --> 00:01:03,274
"He doesn't understand.

14
00:01:03,275 --> 00:01:06,471
We both need your help," said Vinnie.

15
00:01:06,472 --> 00:01:09,626
He looked straight into Jason's eyes.

16
00:01:09,627 --> 00:01:13,347
"Then I will help you, Vinnie," Jason said.

17
00:01:13,348 --> 00:01:16,948
Together they ran up the stairs.

18
00:01:16,949 --> 00:01:20,340
"Mandy!" Vinnie called.

19
00:01:20,341 --> 00:01:23,803
"Vinnie! You're here!" she cried.

20
00:01:23,804 --> 00:01:27,815
Vinnie took the photo from Mandy.

21
00:01:27,816 --> 00:01:32,698
"Look! The helmet is glowing brighter!" Vinnie said.

22
00:01:32,699 --> 00:01:36,684
"Where is the statue?" cried Mandy.

23
00:01:36,685 --> 00:01:40,877
"I thought it was in the Parthenon!"

24
00:01:40,878 --> 00:01:43,601
Jason stepped forward.

25
00:01:43,602 --> 00:01:47,342
"It is here. I can take you," he said.

26
00:01:47,343 --> 00:01:50,066
He was glad Mandy was safe.

27
00:01:50,067 --> 00:01:55,533
"On the way, I will tell you the story of Athena."

28
00:01:55,534 --> 00:02:00,777
As Jason talked, the children passed scenes carved on the walls.

29
00:02:00,778 --> 00:02:04,142
Some scenes showed men in chariots.

30
00:02:04,143 --> 00:02:10,209
Another scene showed girls carrying water for the goddess.

31
00:02:10,210 --> 00:02:17,209
"Both Athena and the god of the sea wanted to rule our city," Jason said.

32
00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:21,072
"So they decided to hold a gift-giving contest.

33
00:02:21,073 --> 00:02:26,577
The god of the sea gave the city water.

34
00:02:26,578 --> 00:02:28,485
But it was salty.

35
00:02:28,486 --> 00:02:31,289
Athena's gift was an olive tree.

36
00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:33,886
This tree gave people food.

37
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:36,943
The people of Athens were very happy.

38
00:02:36,944 --> 00:02:42,075
Athena won and became the goddess of the city."

39
00:02:42,076 --> 00:02:46,473
At last they stopped in front of the statue of Athena.

40
00:02:46,474 --> 00:02:48,267
It was huge!

41
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:52,143
"Wow!" Mandy cried.

42
00:02:52,144 --> 00:02:54,603
The children were stunned.

43
00:02:54,604 --> 00:02:59,792
The entire sculpture was gold except for the face and arms.

44
00:02:59,793 --> 00:03:04,478
They were white like polished ivory.

45
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:09,935
"The winged woman in her right hand is Nike," explained Jason.

46
00:03:09,936 --> 00:03:13,633
"She can fly and run faster than anyone.

47
00:03:13,634 --> 00:03:17,601
Nike is the goddess of victory!"

48
00:03:17,602 --> 00:03:21,200
Vinnie took the photo out of his pocket.

49
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:25,607
In the photo, Athena's helmet was glowing red.

50
00:03:25,608 --> 00:03:28,477
The light hurt the children's eyes.

51
00:03:28,478 --> 00:03:31,607
"We're going home!" Vinnie shouted.

52
00:03:31,608 --> 00:03:35,639
"Good luck at the Olympics, Jason!"

53
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,388
"Vinnie! Mandy! What is happening?" Jason shouted.

54
00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:47,955
His voice faded as the children fell through the dark tunnel.

55
00:03:47,956 --> 00:03:53,288
"Ow!" grunted Mandy, as she hit a solid floor.

56
00:03:53,289 --> 00:03:57,738
"Ugh!" moaned Vinnie.

57
00:03:57,739 --> 00:04:00,563
The children opened their eyes.

58
00:04:00,564 --> 00:04:02,813
They were back in the attic.

59
00:04:02,814 --> 00:04:05,369
They heard footsteps.

60
00:04:05,370 --> 00:04:10,284
They quickly shut the album as the door swung open.

61
00:04:10,285 --> 00:04:13,620
"Didn't you hear me calling?" Dad asked.

62
00:04:13,621 --> 00:04:15,795
"What are you doing up here?"

63
00:04:15,796 --> 00:04:23,990
Vinnie and Mandy looked at each other and smiled.
