We start with the myth about the origins of Europe: the love story between Zeus and a princess by the name of ‘Europe’. The ancient Greeks demonstrate how civilisation works. They are role models for the Romans, who help bring Mediterranean culture to the rest of Europe. But in the chilly North, the Barbarians are unimpressed by the southern way of life.
