Epiphany's Festivities

S1 E4: Bettany Hughes’ personal odyssey through the Greek islands takes her to Crete, home of legendary heroes and villains, powerful ancient civilizations, and macabre history. Follow her to Chania, Knossos, and Eleutherna, where she explores a replica boat built from the age of Odysseus and recounts the stories of the Minotaur and Achilles. Then discover a more recent, dramatic chapter in Crete's history as we investigate Germany’s occupation of the island in World War II and meet a 95-year-old who narrowly escaped a Nazi firing squad as a teenager.
