Ancient Greece: The Greatest Show on Earth

Episodes(3)

This three-part historical series, written and presented by classicist Dr Michael Scott examines the extraordinary career of Athens in the ancient world, from the 6th century BC to the 2nd century AD through the prism of one of its most important and culturally crucial spaces: the theater. As Athens played its life out on the Mediterranean stage, the Athenians were regularly sitting down to watch tragedies and comedies in their theaters, but rather than providing pure 'entertainment', 'distraction' or 'diversion' from reality, they were sharply focused on reality.
