Across 13 episodes each built around a Greek term—democracy, philosophy, mythology, misogyny, etc.—Marker stages wine‑filled symposia in Paris, blending archival clips with interviews of experts, often under a stylized owl, delivering a compelling, sometimes contradictory study of ancient Greece’s lasting impact on Western culture.
