The DVDs recounting the history of Greece from antiquity to modern times:


"Alexander the Great" - National Geographic stunningly brings to life this story with powerful re-creations and in-depth academic insights, it's a journey behind the mists - and myths - of hisotry that reveals the real Alexander the Great as never before.


"Greece, Journey to the Gods" - After having venerated the pagan gods of Antiquity, Greece chose to convert to Christianity.  From that time forward, monks undertook the construction of monasteries on cliffs, summits and other natural wonders.  Visitors will not only live through a memorable and mystical experience, but will also dive head first into an unforgettable odyssey, leading to the heart of the Byzantine Empire.


"The 11th Day" - The documentary is a heart-pounding account of the Battle of Crete.  Never before had German forces encountered such resistance.  This DVD was created through interviews with resistance fighers and military veterans from Crete, England, Australia and New Zealand, as well as British Special Operations officer Patrick Leigh Fermor.
