This is volume 7 of a 13-part documentary series, Mystic Lands, that explores ancient countries with histories bound up in their spirituality. Greece is especially unique in this regard, being the home of not only the ancient pagan gods of Mt. Olympus, but also the flashpoint of Christianity's spread, which now dominates the land in the form of Greek Orthodoxy. In tracing the development of this faith, the architecture, lifestyle, arts, and history of this ancient land are beautifully and coherently presented, through narration by actor Edward James Olmos, and interviews with archaeologists and clergy. The cinematography is stunning, and the editing, especially the audio, is creative and well-executed. The accompanying materials are in-depth, practical, and easily adapted to any classroom. Other programs in the series (priced at $727.55 for all 13 volumes) are: Australia: Dreamtime, Burma: Triumph of the Spirit, Haiti: Dance of the Spirit and Maya: Message in Stone. Highly recommended.
