Episode 3 of our documentary series shows how the uprising against a tyrant and the war against the Persians brought democracy to the world. An idea of global historical significance, bought with blood, death, and the suffering of slaves. In the end, democratic Athens itself becomes a tyrant—and plunges Greece into chaos.
