EPiSODE SUMMARY
Joanna begins her Greek odyssey at the Parthenon in
Athens, which was created by the ancient Greeks two and
a half thousand years ago. This was the dawn of western
civilisation, which saw the birth of democracy,
language, science and medicine.
From here Joanna travels around the southern region of
Greece from Athens to the Peloponnese, visiting
spectacular mythical and historic sites left by this
great civilisation. These were places of theatre, death
sport and religion to the Ancients and they represent
the very cornerstone of this empire. The Greeks flocked
to these sites and Joanna follows in their footsteps.
En route she meets modern Greeks who are still
influenced by this ancient era.
From the marble cutters on the Acropolis who continue
to use the same tools as their ancestors, to the
Englishman who now worships the god of Apollo at
Greece's most sacred place, Delphi.
Joanna's route takes her off the tourist trail to
places where ancient myths and cultures live on. She
meets villagers who communicate by whistling, a lady
who lives a solitary life in an almost deserted village
surviving by eating wild plants and shrubs and a
fisherman who takes her to the gates of Hades, the
underworld, where the Ancients went when they died.
Joanna finds inspiration in the isolated peninsula of
the Mani, where its haunting tower house settlements
and barren landscape seem unchanged for centuries.
Joanna also takes part in a Bouzoukia, a hugely popular
singing club where, in a modern twist on an old
tradition, the audience spends a fortune on flowers
that they throw in appreciation.
And finally Joanna meets perhaps one of the most famous
singers in the world, Nana Mouskouri, at Epidaurus, one
of the best surviving amphitheatres, where, in order to
demonstrate the perfect acoustics, Nana gives a rare
performance to Joanna.
