It was perhaps the most spectacular flourishing of imagination and achievement in recorded history.
In the Fourth and Fifth 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, narrated by Liam Neeson, recounts the rise, glory, demise and legacy of the empire that
marked the dawn of Western civilization. The story of this astonishing civilization is told through
the lives of heroes of ancient Greece. The latest advances in computer and television technology
rebuild the Acropolis, recreate the Battle of Marathon and restore the grandeur of the Academy,
where Socrates, Plato and Aristotle forged the foundation of Western though.
The series combines dramatic storytelling, stunning imagery, new research and distinguished
scholarship to render classical Greece gloriously alive.

Approx. running time: 165 min.
