 Excellent overviewMar 19, 2008
By grandiloquious
"yaya"
I purchased this doccumentary to use in my English classes as a lead in and introduction to our mythology sections. It was a very well done and informative piece that held the students' interest throughout. Since my purchase of the film our library has purchased the whole series. Educational, engaging, everything a History Channel piece should be!

Well made...May 10, 2009
By Paul
I thought this documentary was well made and had good narration. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an interest in classical mythology. It gives a good overview of the gods & goddesses and is well balanced with academic interviews throughout.

Good for classroom useMar 15, 2010
By A teacher man
I am a ninth grade English teacher, and I ordered this DVD to help prepare my students for reading excerpts from The Odyssey. I don't show the entire program. I think there are eight parts (chapters on the DVD), and I show four of the eight. My students seemed to like the program, although I had to prepare them for the "talking head" academics who show up from time to time. Their commentary is interesting, but kids seem to tune out a DVD as soon as someone comes on the screen and there aren't any graphics, interesting pictures, etc. All in all, I think it is a worthwhile purchase for a teacher looking for supplemental material related to Greek mythology.

Introduction to the gods and cultureApr 05, 2010
By I Teach Typing
As others have said, this is a solid video introducing the Greek/Roman mythology. You will get a quick introduction to the major gods spelled out by experts. Happily, they are all reasonably entertaining speakers. The material is presented at a good pace but if you are a novice there is a LOT of material here for a single sitting. One nice feature that others have not mentioned is the discussion of the integration of Greek/Roman religions and cultures into/with other cultures. The discussion of the parallels between these religions and Christianity is thought provoking. If you don't know much about the Greek/Roman gods and want to start building a foundation this is a great place to start.
