The production story

The episode links Delphi and the Acropolis with the nineteenth-century Romantic idea of Greece. Lord Byron’s journey and Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage provide the literary thread through which ancient sites acquire a later cultural meaning.

ARTE Distribution identifies a 2021 production year. The historical focus is the reception of antiquity, not an ancient-world reconstruction, and the catalogue year is not treated as a verified first-broadcast date.

Known filming locations

Delphi and the Acropolis of Athens are named subjects in the distributor’s synopsis. A complete filming itinerary is not established.
