They were an extraordinary people born of white rock and blue sea. They invented democracy, distilled logic and reason, wrote plays to plumb the deepest recesses of the soul, and captured the perfection of the human form in athletics and art. Quite simply, the Greeks created our world. 　　Today, of course, Greece conjures very different images: civic unrest, financial meltdowns, long ATM lines. But as its ancient history attests, strife and discord are often incubators for greatness. From their beginnings as hunter-gatherers in harsh, unforgiving landscapes; to surviving the worst collapse in human history; to facing off against the greatest empire the world had ever known, the Greeks would have to overcome incredible odds to pave the way for the modern West. 　　In National Geographic’s landmark event series The Greeks, historians and archaeologists, actors and athletes, scientists and artists launch a groundbreaking exploration into the ancient Greeks’ journey — not just to better understand their past, but to discover how their legacy illuminates our present, and will shape our future. The story of the Greeks is the story of us.

Classicist Dr Michael Scott, explores the legacies of the Ancient Greeks, what they have given us today, and asks why these legacies have lasted through time. 　　Democracy, art, architecture, philosophy, science, sport, theatre - all can be traced back to ancient Greece. Travelling across the ancient Greek world, from Athens to Olympia, Macedon, Turkey and Sicily, Michael discovers why the ancient Greeks were so successful, why their culture and way of life spread across continents and through time and why they still have such a powerful hold over our imaginations today.

在《古希腊的珍宝》中，艺术难道是将一系列精致的大理石作品放置在民主和开明的框架之内吗？实际上根本不是这样。文艺批评家、记者阿拉斯泰尔·索克表明，古希腊艺术实际上更多样化，而且令人惊奇——它是混合了多种风格、技巧和材料的多元文化，所有的主题都已经被探索过。本纪录片拍摄于地中海周围以及欧洲各地的几个奢华地点，阿拉斯泰尔表明，对古希腊艺术的局限性看法是站不住脚的。他的探索旅程从早期的克里特和迈锡尼文明中的田园之美，一直到世界上有史以来最惊人的精美艺术中那些充满色情、享乐主义和高潮的作品。
