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

2)  Zeus in Love
Having become Master of Olympus, the great seducer Zeus embarked upon many a romantic conquest, thereby reinforcing his power, through the many children he engendered.
His first wife was Metis. His second, who was known as his wife on Olympus, was the jealous Hera. But there was also Themis, the goddess of Justice, with whom he produced the Hours, the Fates and the Mnemosyne - meaning "memory" - who gave birth to nine Muses. In order to achieve his aims, Zeus metamorphosed. He was an expert at changing shape and form. He turned into a charming prince in order to seduce Semele, the king of Thebes' daughter, who gave birth to the god Dionysos. He also turned into a golden shower, a bull and even into another God. In order seduce the nymph Callisto, who was a follower of Artemis, the Goddess of Hunting, Zeus turned into Artemis herself.
