This one-hour public television special follows Richard Bangs on a great odyssey in Greece, land of the gods. From ancient times to the present, the Western world has basked in the glorious inspiration of Greek myths. These strangely magnificent stories are deeply embedded in our culture and our collective unconscious. On this trip Richard seeks to discover the relevance and meaning the great gods of Olympus might have for us today. To help in his quest for understanding Richard meets up with author Agapi Stassinopoulos writer of several books on Greek gods and goddesses. Richard and Agapi begin in Athens, take a side trip to Poseidon's Temple at Cape Sounion and then head to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Their quest takes them on to the island of Ithaca, to the site of mystical oracles at Delphi and finishes at the home of the gods, Mt. Olympus.
