Greece is renowned throughout the world as the cradle of democracy, the land where classical architecture, theater,
and poetry were born. When seen from the air, its history, mythology, and
majestic natural beauty take on a new dimension and come truly alive.In this
sumptuous volume, Greece's ancient marble amphitheaters, temples, and columns
stand guard like the gods of Olympus. The Acropolis, Delphi, and the age-old
theater of Epidaurus appear in an entirely new light. Yann Arthus - Bertrand, a
French photographer known for his aerial views, has captured these classic
symbols of another age along with the grandeur of the rocky Mediterranean
landscape, lush olive groves, and glorious islands.
