Wow....the Greek culture and worship practices makes so much sense now!! These videos and the two narrating are simply incredible.

I like how the Greeks reconstruct their ancient monuments with original material along with new marbles and try to retain it's aged look. Great restoration in my mind and allow the people of the present to see what people in the past see while reminding it of its ancient history.

"Ancient Greek religion was transactional." I never knew! And the stack of treasuries, wonderfully explained. Great writing as always.

you guys are akin to meditating. I love your opening theme, I just get calm. Have enjoyed so many of your mini docs

[nsbdnow]

I've been there! And just saw your video on the Parthenon (I was there too, once!). I've said it before, but these videos are really just so great. I love how they are mini documentaries, and having two good narrators makes it more interesting than just one. Thanks!

The temple had "Know Thyself" over the entrance.. still applies ... "...man should know his own self and recognize that which leadeth unto loftiness or lowliness, glory or abasement, wealth or poverty." ~ Baha'u'llah

[mikiobros]

I agree with Survive the Jive .. And more videos about hellenic culture in general, please :)

I'd be interested to hear more about the connection between Greek theatre and religion. I did know they were both important aspects of Greek culture, but didn't have the understanding they intersected much.

[bpeper]

What was the role of the theatre in the religious practices?

[Fuliginosus]

I wonder if the priestess who received the inspiration spoke in a meaningful way, or if it was more like Christians who speak 'in tongues' and therefore need to be interpreted. So did the priestess herself affect the course of history?

[seastorm]

Do I understand correctly that the Pythia was a woman of great power, her predictions could ruin or raise city states.

Omphalòs means bellybutton in Greek!
Ancient Greeks believed that it was the center of the Earth!
