Greek poleis were independent and politically varied. Films often exaggerate a unified Greek identity and simplify Persian opponents.

Ancient Greece
Bronze Age storytelling, city-states, philosophy and the Hellenistic world
Discover the cultures and political conflicts of ancient Greece, from mythology and Bronze Age legend to the Persian Wars, classical Athens and Macedonian expansion. The library contains few sources for everyday life or Greek democracy: mythical adaptations are clearly labelled as myths, and graphic action films are not treated as reliable history.
