Greek Island Odyssey with Bettany Hughes Series 1

The historian and classicist explore Greece from the time of the Ancients up to the present day.

Part 4

Arriving in Crete just as a storm hits, the historian is lucky to reach `the big island“ before the seas become impassable and the annual Christian Epiphany festivities are hampered. She travels to the ruins of the ancient city of Knossos, synonymous with English archaeologist Arthur Evans who unearthed much of its palace over 100 years ago, beneath which the legendary King Minos is said to have kept a crazed half-man, half-bull - the Minotaur. Bettany meets Professor Stampolidis, whose ground-breaking archaeological discoveries prove links between ancient legend and historical reality.
