DVD VIDEO : DISCOVER GREECE: ANCIENT THEATRES AND CASTLES - CASTLES IN GREECE, ANCIENT THEATRES, EPIDAURUS - (DVD)

      The ancient theatres, cradles of the classical Greek civilization, legate to us, in the most vivid way, the important aspects of the ancient Greek dramaturgy. Without any mood for impressing, with a plain structure, the ancient theatres are openly offered to the function of light, which proves beneficial for the distinction of wisdom of lines and the eloquence of clean volumes. Probably, no other creation of human civilization has taken advantage so skilfully and with such sense of measure of the natural environment such as the ancient Greek theatre. The theatrical building, sometimes carved and sometimes built on a hillside, is considered the most successful expression of balance between nature and man. Miracles of architecture and acoustics, the ancient theatres of Epidavros, Delphi, Dodoni, Sikioni, Messini, Delos, and Amfiarios among others, reveal to the spectator their secrets as well as the unaffected ancient Greek beauty. The ancient fortifications that were protecting the cities are famous for their masonry technique and so a unique resistance against time. Acrocorinthos, the Byzantine Mistras, Palamidi, Bourtzi, Sounion and the Themistoclean walls travel you in time and the epic moments of Greek history. -FM Records-
