Pbs: Empires: People and Passions That Changed the World: Inside the Parthenon

Video segment about the Parthenon from an episode titled "The Greeks: The Crucible of Civilization," part of a PBS series on empires. It focuses on the temple's sculptural works, especially the relief sculpture that once adorned its interior frieze, which celebrated the triumph of the Athenian democracy over Persia. An interesting site for learning about the intersection of art and politics and for experiencing something of the glory of the golden age of Athens under Pericles.
