Clash of the Gods-Season 1 (Region 1 Import DVD)

As created by and originally aired on The History Channel, this epic-length documentary series investigates the most legendary and iconic mythologies belying ancient civilizations, with a particularly strong emphasis on Greek and Roman mythologies. The thesis of the program states that unique and incisive truths belie each mythological story - truths that find their origins in actual historical events, the guidelines of ancient social fabrics and archetypal sagas of good versus evil. This particular collection contains all ten episodes of Season One, with each episode devoted to one particular myth. The respective subjects include: Zeus, Hercules, Hades, The Minotaur, Medusa, Beowulf, Tolkien's Monsters, Thor and Odysseus.
