It was perhaps the most spectacular flourishing of imagination and achievement in recorded history. In the 4th and 5th Centuries BC, the Greeks built an empire that stretched across the Mediterranean from Asia to Spain. They laid the foundations of modern science, politics, warfare and philosophy, and produced some of the most breathtaking art and architecture the world has ever seen. This series combines dramatic storytelling, stunning imagery, new research and distinguished scholarship to render classical Greece gloriously alive. DVD ROM.
