Few countries have shaped the world quite like Greece. In this episode, we explore the rich history of a land that gave us democracy, philosophy, theatre, and epic tales of gods and heroes. From ancient civilisations and classical glory to occupation, independence, and modern challenges, the story of Greece is one of resilience, culture, and enduring influence.
