Gods And Goddesses DVD

  • A feature-length appraisal of the world of Zeus, Athena and Apollo.
  • King Constantine of Greece offers insight into mythology's relevance today.
  • Professors at Princeton, Stanford and USC discuss the latest theories about the pantheon.

For the Ancient Greeks, their deities populated their everyday world and, while obviously powerful, shared many of the fallibilities - jealousy, pettiness, lust - of their earthly subjects. They played favorites, they meddled, and they lost interest, like all-powerful toddlers. GODS AND GODDESSES reconsiders the origins of this belief system, explains how it affected daily life for adherents and searches for its influence in today's world.

GODS AND GODDESSES finds surprising answers to questions that have puzzled scholars for centuries: Where did the pantheon originate? Did any of the stories in Greek mythology actually occur? With a fresh perspective, this documentary examines new archaeological evidence that supports that possibility and traces the history of classical Greece through the evolution of its deities.

In English. 100 min. NTSC.
