They were an extraordinary people born of white rock and blue sea. They invented democracy, distilled logic and reason, wrote plays to plumb the deepest recesses of the soul and captured the perfection of the human form in athletics and art. Quite simply, the Greeks created our world. These days, Greece conjures up very different images: civic unrest, financial meltdowns, and long ATM lines. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that strife and discord are often required for greatness. Ancient Greece was born out of chaos – economic and environmental collapse, political turmoil and brutal warfare. And yet, it alone became the cornerstone of Western civilisation. The Greeks delves into the lives of our trailblazing forebears. Archaeologists, historians, scientists, athletes, actors and artists excavate the past and explore its impact on the world’s present, and ultimately on the future.
