Ancient Greece – The Dark Chronicles
Description
Ancient Greece is known as the birthplace of democracy, science, and architecture, but a darker reality hides beyond the shiny marble façade. This five-part series shows another side of Greek history, including menacing gods, oppressive laws, and brutal wars. Each episode throws light on an era of Greek history, from the seafaring traditions of the Bronze Age to the aggressive expansionism of the Archaic period, from the glorious Classical period to the Peloponnesian War that drives the Greek world to the brink of destruction. Finally, we delve into the story behind Alexander the Great, and the chaos that results from his death. The series uses a team of international experts to explain key events, breathtaking photography, and innovative graphics to open viewers’ eyes to the sinister side of Greek history.
