In the first of this film series, Dr. Michael Scott travels across Greece, exploring the lives of the people who gave us democracy, architecture, philosophy, language, literature, and sport. He visits ancient cities, battlefields, great ruins, and the wild countryside in his search to uncover how the ancient Greeks lived. Democracy, physical fitness, worship, citizenship, pederastic relationships, infanticide, and art create a paradoxical portrait of Ancient Greece.
