PBS- Secrets of Parthenon

Recommended Posts

I loved this documentary on Parthenon...

"The Parthenon was completed in 432 B.C.E. As the ultimate expression of Athenian ideals, the temple is adorned with mythological battles of victory: justice over injustice, civilization defeating barbarity, order prevailing over chaos. And, perhaps for the first time on a Greek temple, the Athenians, mere mortals, depict themselves alongside the gods."

Have you watched it? I love PBS nova programs. They are interestingly made.. I'm pretty sure some scholars will be mad about some programs because it is a bit biased and doesn't tell many different points of view in some programs. It's challenging to tell a story in an hour program and they seem to deliver interesting points pretty well. ^_^
