Democracy Of Ancient Greece (1966)

The film explores the golden age of ancient Greece, highlighting its significant contributions to democracy, art, philosophy, and culture. It emphasizes the pride of Greek city-states, particularly Athens, where democracy flourished under the leadership of Pericles. Citizens actively participated in governance, and public life was enriched by art, theater, and athletic competitions. The ideals of excellence and civic duty were central to Greek society. However, the film also reflects on the eventual decline of Athenian democracy following its defeat by Sparta, suggesting that while the Golden Age ended, its legacy continues to influence future generations.
