A survey of Greek sites and cultural legacies, catalogued by Autentic as a 2021 production and later distributed under English and German titles.
The production story
Autentic’s international record lists two 52-minute programmes: Minoans, Mycenae and the Persian Wars; and Classical Greece and Beyond. The journey connects Crete and Mycenae with Greek city-states, southern Italy and major classical sanctuaries.
The German platform listing Imperien der Geschichte: Das antike Griechenland explicitly describes its episodes as Empire Builders and matches the same two subjects. Its 2023 release label does not establish a separate new production. This archive keeps one record, dated by Autentic’s 2021 production metadata. Pilot’s broader catalogue also offers differently packaged material; episode counts refer to the two-part version identified here.
Known filming locations
The distributor describes visits to Crete, Mycenae, Athens, Delphi, Olympia, Epidaurus and Greek settlements in southern Italy and Sicily.
