| Synopsis: |
Greece is renowned as the cradle of democracy - the land where classical architecture, theatre and poetry were born. In this text, Arthus-Bertrand, an aerial photographer, presents the ampitheatres, temples and columns as seen from the air - symbols of antiquity amongst a rocky Mediterranean landscape and lush olive groves. Captions illuminate the views, providing geographical, historical and cultural information. The history of Mount Athos, the ancient ruins of Crete, the Acropolis and the stadium of Olympia are all pictured and detailed, along with the beaches of Ios, Mykonos and Corfu, busy seaports and bustling Athens with its centrepiece, the Parthenon. |
