The ENTIRE History of Greece (Documentary)

In the shadowed embrace of two towering cliffs, a small band of warriors chose to face impossible odds. Three hundred Spartans, led by the indomitable King Leonidas, stood against the might of Persia's vast army at the Battle of Thermopylae. In this craggy passage, every shield clash and battle cry echoed defiance and an unwavering commitment to their homeland. It was a dance of audacious bravery against overwhelming numbers. But what if I told you this stand of the few against the many was but a chapter in a saga much grander? A story of a land steeped in glory and tainted by conflict? Welcome to the turbulent history of Greece.
