The production story

The history of Chios is approached through mastic, the resin that made the island a coveted Mediterranean territory. ARTE connects its use with antiquity but the episode ranges across later periods. The archive therefore labels it cultural continuity rather than a production devoted entirely to ancient Greece.

This record covers the named episode or segment. The source below identifies its date and scope. Later broadcasts, translated titles and extracts are not counted here as separate productions.
