Tracing the architectural and philosophical roots of Western civilization
In short: Join Professor Alice Roberts as she explores the archaeological remains of Greece's islands to uncover how the foundations of modern democracy, philosophy, and art were first laid.
The journey focuses on the Cyclades Islands, specifically highlighting Delos. This site served as a significant cultural hub where the Temple of Apollo once stood. By examining these physical remains, the exploration reveals the evolution of Greek society over thousands of years.
Beyond the islands, the narrative connects these archaeological finds to broader developments in theatre and democracy. The expedition eventually extends to Türkiye, providing a comprehensive look at the geographic scope of ancient Greek influence.
