[About This Video]
This documentary is the grand saga of Ancient Greece. We journey from the mysterious palaces of the Minoans and Mycenaeans, through the catastrophic Bronze Age Collapse, and into the re-emergence of the City-States (Polis).

Witness the miraculous Greek victory against the Persian Empire, the dazzling Golden Age of Athens under Pericles, and the heartbreaking tragedy of the Peloponnesian War—where brother fought brother, and the dream of a unified Greece was shattered. Finally, we explore how the weakened city-states fell to the might of Alexander the Great and eventually, Rome.
