Assuming you are referring to positive values of ancient Athens, I would identify the following:

Equal justice under the law (at least for citizens)
Democracy ("Demos" = people, "Kratia" = rule)
Education (it was the center of education in the Mediterranean)
Reason (decision should be made on logic)
Faith (the gods were very important parts of their culture)
Athletics (physical pursuits to balance intellectual pursuits)

Negative values included:

Greed
Imperialism
Slavery
