Athens: The Dawn of Democracy DVD OOP 2007 PBS World History Greece EX-LIBRARY

Description: **This is an EX-LIBRARY COPY, with all the usual library markings. See photos for more details.** This 2007 release from PBS studies the history of sixth century Athens. This disc is an ex-library copy in good condition and plays perfectly, with the following write-up on back: In the sixth century BC, Athens was an authoritarian society until one young aristocrat decided to use the "power of the people" to defeat a rival in a single stroke of political genius. democracy was born. Athens has since been renowned as the birthplace of freedom, equality, and free speech. Yet Athenian freedom was not without contradiction and conflict. The fledgling democracy might not have survived without slavery, voting restrictions, the discovery of silver mines, and the Battle of Salamis. In ATHENS, historian Bettany Hughes explores the "Golden Age" of Athens at the dawn of democracy. She examines how the people now hailed as the originators of democracy rose to become the leaders of all of Greece, and how they exported their ideas to a burgeoning empire.
