[first scene: a panoramic view of Athens, Greece]
Narrator: In our troubled world, it is fitting that we should turn back the pages of history to ancient Athens, the mother of democracy, where we may still draw inspiration from what is left of the institutions that flourished when Athens was the world's beacon light of freedom.
Featured review
Athens & Rhodes
Is that title a reference to the film "The Greeks had a word for Them", which was a 1932 film with Joan Blondell ? Quick looks at the Acropolis, and the buildings of Athens rebuilt in the style of 500 BC architecture and temples. A walking tour in the markets and a quick discussion of the recent civil war. Then over to Rhodes, which returned to Greece at the end of WW II. Castles, ruins fishing boats. Apparently Mussolini planned to retire here. It IS beautiful, peaceful and calm. was there years ago. cruise ship stop these days. Only 500 square miles, acc to wikipedia. Earthquakes now and then, including the one in 226 BC that knocked down the Colossus statue. Pretty interesting bit. Short and sweet. and this one is in color. a Fitzpatrick production.
