PBS DocumentaryFrom Netflix: Tackling a subject no less daunting than the beginning of Western civilization, this PBS-produced TV documentary examines ancient Greece from 500 B.C. through the destruction of the empire.
Through dramatic reenactments, interviews with prominent scholars and footage of architecture and artifacts, this Liam Neeson-narrated program brings the ancients back to life, providing insight into how Greek philosophy has transformed modern civilization.
WW comments: Excellent treatment of what occurred during that period of time. Unfortunately, the documentary provides very little insight into the human motivations and human reasoning . . . the whys . . . that led to the remarkable advancements in art, science and politics of that time.
