Summer Olympics host, 1896 and 2004 (6)

I believe the answer is:

athens

(Other definitions for athens that I've seen before include "6 capital" , "Plato's birthplace" , "Hen sat down in the city" , "European capital city" , "Hasten to the Hellenic city" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
