Great Greek Myths: Set 1

Arts, History Documentary hosted by Francois Busnel, published by Arte in 2015 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Tales of love, sex, power, betrayal, heinous crimes, unbearable separations, atrocious revenge, and metamorphoses - the poetic force of the myths has crossed the centuries.
This series sets out to recount these ancient stories using animations created especially for the occasion, and illustrations chosen from the entire history of art. This dynamic blend, a bridge between modernity and history, ancient narrative and contemporary dramatic art, is a new way to discover or re-discover this part of our universal heritage.
With passion and precision, and based on the oldest texts, the destinies of Zeus, Theseus, Aphrodite or Orpheus are recounted, the myths whose strong poetic and universal scope have nourished the imagination of artists over the centuries. In the images, the masterpieces of Botticelli, Picasso, Goya and Klimt meet animated silhouettes, inspired by the vases of ancient Greece: a unique medium for an exploration of Greek mythology and its original stories.

Series Director: Sylvain Bergere ; A Co-Production by ARTE France, Rosebud Productions and Les Monstres

1)  Zeus and the Conquest of Power
To earn the title of Master of Olympus, Zeus took many important steps, and overcame many challenges. His story is one of an incredible conquest of power, dating back to time immemorial, when the world began. Born from Chaos, Gaia - Mother Earth - mated with Uranus, the sky. Many children were born from their union, notably the Titans and the Cyclops. The youngest of the Titans, Kronos, revolted against his father, who had suffocated his mother and their children. Having beaten his father, he decided to swallow all his own children to avoid the risk of one of them stealing power from him. Yet the youngest child survived, and waged a war against Kronos, the Titans, and many other creatures. This God was none other than Zeus.
