In this episode of our season-long “Ancient Civilizations” tour, we’ll explore Ancient Greece, a civilization whose ideas continue to influence the modern world. Discover how independent city-states like Athens and Sparta developed distinct cultures and governments, how Athens pioneered one of history’s earliest democratic systems, and how Greek philosophers, artists, architects, and writers transformed human thought and creativity. From the Parthenon and the Olympic Games to the teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, we’ll uncover the achievements, innovations, and ideals that defined the Greek world.
