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

6)  Apollo - Shadow and Light
Although they were the son and daughter of Zeus, Apollo and his twin sister Artemis were born under threats from the goddess Hera. Zeus' wife Hera never forgave the twins' mother - the nymph Leto - for her union with the King of Mount Olympus, and she forced Leto into exile.
As a result, Apollo was a wandering god, who did not grow up on Olympus. He was a musician and an excellent archer, and was both gentle and cruel. He was also very handsome, but this did not spare him from being disappointed in love. At the service of his father, he created the first sacred site in Delphi, where mortals from all over the world came to question Pythia. But Apollo also incurred Zeus' wrath several times, even endangering himself in the process, and almost found himself in the depths of Tartarus.
