4.0 out of 5 stars
A Pausanias view of ancient Greece,
By Micheal E. Corbin (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Civilizations: Athens and Ancient Greece (DVD)
This is a very enjoyable DVD which is both travelogue and history. It covers not only Athens, but Delphi, Corinth, Olympia, Sparta, Mycenae and other cities of ancient Greece. The viewer is taken to the modern locations of these ancient places and provided with a wealth of information. The real plus for this video however, is the use of graphical reconstructions for each location or monument mentioned -- and the reconstruction is superimposed on its modern ruin. This is a marvelous way to get a sense of the glory of Greek architecture and a sense of place, especially when only a few ruins remain. You won't get a detailed history of ancient Hellas and some of the pronunciations used are eccentric (e.g., the narrator pronounces Zeus as "zay oos"), but it's worth adding to your collection.

Not a good video to show students,
By Marko Esquandolas (Evergreen, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Civilizations: Athens and Ancient Greece (DVD)
This movie provides good solid information about Ancient Greece, but is very boring. As a High School History teacher I would not recommend showing it to classes because it will not engage students, it will put them to sleep.
