Athens is the Capital of Greece. Back in the old days before the 1821-1829 Greece was occupied by the Turks(Ottoman empire). Before that there was no true country it was a bunch of city states.
Greece achieved its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829. During the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, it gradually added neighboring islands and territories, most with Greek-speaking populations. In World War II, Greece was first invaded by Italy (1940) and subsequently occupied by Germany (1941-44); fighting endured in a protracted civil war between royalist supporters of the king and communist rebels. Following the latter's defeat in 1949, Greece was able to join NATO in 1952. A military dictatorship, which in 1967 suspended many political liberties and forced the king to flee the country, lasted seven years. The 1974 democratic elections and a referendum created a parliamentary republic and abolished the monarchy. Greece joined the European Community or EC in 1981 (which became the EU in 1992); it became the 12th member of the euro zone in 2001.

Athens is the capital of Greece or the Hellenic Republic. It has been the official capital of Greece since 1834 when the capital was moved there from the Greek city of Nafplio, which was the capital city for just a few short years.

Athens is STILL the capital of Greece, my dear. You may have to rephrase your question. What period of history are we talking about?

I'm sorry, honey, but can not understand what you are looking after.
The best thing to do is to search wikipedia and if the information provided in there is not what you are looking for, then try www.ime.gr, which might prove of great assistance.
Good luck!
