Part of the Ancient Worlds: New Horizons series of Study Days

Greek Salad - the Essentials of Western Civilisation

The Ancient Greeks were the founders of Western civilisation. Rupert explains how key cultural achievements would never have occurred without the Athenian victory at Marathon in 490 BC. He describes the invention by Greek sculptors of the human portrait, their work being the basis of European art. The day concludes with a thrilling account of the Battle of Thermopylai in 480, with visits to Sparta and Delphi along the way.
