ARTE – Battle For Athens (2012)
English | Documentary | Size: 1.25 GB
In the 5th century BC, during the Greco-Persian wars, the Persian Empire set out to subjugate the Greek city-states. On the Greek side, one man had to prove his worth and defend his ideals. Opposite him was a Persian king bent on authority and obsessed with extending the boundaries of his empire. In the midst of all this, a traitor wanted to reestablish tyranny, and a son to avenge his father with might of an empire. The overwhelming scale of the Persian forces came up against the bravery of a modest city: Athens.
This immersion into Ancient Greece, filmed in the original language, follows in the footsteps of Themistocles and his fearsome adversary Xerxes, through two spectacular military engagements, one on land, the other naval: the battles of Marathon (490 BC) and Salamis (480 BC). Themistocles against Xerxes, the story of a duel and the exceptional parallel careers of two men of a similar age, but whose origins, beliefs and cultures were very different: the son of a king and the son of democracy itself.
Two films that recount two incredible combats which took place some 2,500 years ago, on land and at sea, and involving millions of troops.
Directed by Fabrice Hourlier ; A Co-Production by ARTE France and Docside with Indigenes Productions, CNC, GA&A Productions, Danish Broadcasting DR, National Geographic Channels and RTBF
Episode 1: Victory At Marathon
In 499 BC, Miletus, a Greek city in Asia Minor, revolted against the yoke of the Persian Empire with the support of the independent cities of Athens and Eretria. Darius, the great king of the Persian Empire, decided to avenge this affront by launching a punitive expedition against the rebel cities.
Episode 2: Divine Salamis
Ten years after the Battle of Marathon, Xerxes, Darius’s heir, prepared to take his revenge on the Athenians. After several years of preparation, he launched an army of over a million men against mainland Greece.
