La Construccion de un Imperio - Grecia
Engineering an Empire Greece
La civilización occidental surgió en la antigua Grecia: los griegos establecieron los cimientos que han sostenido casi 3.000 años de historia europea. Mediante el uso de las últimas técnicas de infografía podemos recuperar las obras de tecnología más avanzadas griegas, desde el túnel de Samos (un acueducto con una longitud de casi dos kilómetros excavado a través de una inmensa montaña de pieddra caliza) hasta la tumba de Agamenón en Micenas, o el Partenón de la acrópolis de Atenas. En definitiva, es la historia sobre la voluntad humana de explorar, maravillarse y sentir curiosidad.

Western Civilization has been influenced by many cultures, but it was born in Ancient Greece.
The Ancient Greeks laid a foundation that has supported nearly 3000 years of European history. Philosophers like Aristotle and Socrates, Olympian gods, the beginnings of democracy and great conquering armies can be attributed to the Ancient Greeks. This strong and charismatic people strategically harnessed the materials and people around them to create the most advanced technological feats the world had ever seen. From The Tunnel of Samos: a mile-long aqueduct dug through a large mountain of solid limestone, to Agamemnon's Tomb, to The Parthenon, we will examine the architecture and infrastructure engineered by the Greek Empire. Peter Weller hosts.

The Persians & Greeks: Crash Course World History #5

In which John compares and contrasts
Greek civilization and the Persian Empire. Of course we're glad that
Greek civilization spawned modern western civilization, right? Maybe
not. From Socrates and Plato to Darius and Xerxes, John explains two of
the great powers of the ancient world, all WITHOUT the use of footage
from 300.

In 438 BC the Parthenon was completed.
This masterpiece is the crowning achievement for the Greek people.
Without Alexander the Great, it is possible Greece's Golden Era would
have been just a footnote in history. Tens of thousands would die during
Alexander's relentless attacks on Persia and Egypt, yet, his armies
carried Greek life, culture and values far abroad and this empire became
known as the "Hellenistic" world. Greece's amazing engineering
achievements and ideas are still with us today.

Joanna Lumley's Greek Odyssey
Title: The Greek Islands
In this episode Joanna explores some of the fourteen hundred Greek Islands that make up this maritime nation. Each has a story to tell, often a fascinating history spanning thousands of years.
Tthe Greek islands are a familiar destination for many a British holidaymaker. Yet beyond the deck chairs and white sands is a culture which has created one of the greatest seafaring nations of the world.
Hitching a lift on board a shipping magnate's yacht, Joanna's route begins on the ancient island of Crete, where she learns about a way of life that has transcended centuries, spending time with the shepherds in the high, remote mountains of the island. The shepherds played a key role fighting alongside the Resistance against the Nazi occupation of Crete with the British SOE Agent, Patrick Le Femour, whose exploits became the basis for the film, Ill Met by Moonlight.
Crete is also Zeus' birth place and the home of Raki, a local firewater that fuels traditional Cretan festivities. On the island of Kos she explores the birth place of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, before ascending the only active volcano on the island of Nisyros.
