Product Description

The world of the Ancient Greeks lives on today through its mythology. For countless generations prior to biblical times, tales of gods and goddesses were passed down by storytellers and interwoven into traditions and philosophies. Each city devoted itself to particular gods. But these gods also had human frailties. Where did the pantheon originate? Did any of the stories in Greek mythology actually occur? We look at new archaeological evidence that supports the possibility.

Customer Reviews

Excellent overview
I purchased this doccumentary to use in my English classes as a lead in and introduction to our mythology sections. It was a very well done and informative piece that held the students' interest throughout. Since my purchase of the film our library has purchased the whole series. Educational, engaging, everything a History Channel piece should be!

Well made...
I thought this documentary was well made and had good narration. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an interest in classical mythology. It gives a good overview of the gods & goddesses and is well balanced with academic interviews throughout.
