Nothing has had a stronger and more lasting influence on European ideology than ancient Greek mythology. The aura surrounding magnificent temples and other sites of worship is charged with tales blending epic poetry with religion, literature and historical events. Without a doubt, the writers of these tales drew their inspiration from the abundant nature of Greece, for the flora and fauna of Greece ranks among the most diverse in Europe. So it is hardly by coincidence that human imagination flourished in the "Garden of the Gods."

In this magical journey, the film reveals the roots of mythology in the recent nature of Greece, the Ancient Empire and residence of the Gods.
