I am currently running a Greek mythology campaign and I have the city of Athens in it. I need ideas on how to make that city feel like a dungeons and dragons thing.
Any number of what used to be called "sword and sandal" movies might help you out. I'm not crazy about Richard Lester's direction, but "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum..." has fantastic sets that can help you visualize the scene.
Before people start pitching: ask yourself how do you feel ancient Athens is not D&D enough? Do you think it needs more fantasy and flying junk, but with the same togas and columns and chariots? I assume you're already somewhat familiar with the classics if you're running a campaign like this, so what do you want to add?

This entire campaign setting is D&D in an analogue for Ancient Greece. I’m sure you can find exactly what you’re looking for in here:

Grab any of the old free Runequest pdf files out there, the setting "Glorantha" is tons of stuff for you to pilfer.
...cryptographic randomness!
+1 for this. The treatment of gods in Theros suits epic Greek myth well.
