Description
In the city of Taranto, Southern Italy, lie the remains of the only athlete to survive from antiquity, the skeleton of an ancient Greek champion from 500BC. Recreating that athlete and the fabulous world of the Ancient Olympics using computer graphics, dramatic reconstruction, and forensic science, this film features boxing matches, chariot races, and spectacular action to show how the athlete could have battled for glory 2,500 years ago. Modern athletes experiment with replicas of ancient equipment to discover that the original Greek events were much tougher than those of today. Discover just how good an ancient Greek champion really was.
