This first, of three clips, is a set that I really liked from the Athens 2004 Olympic Games opening ceremony. First, the Greek deity of love, Eros, is seen here hovering over two lovers on and near the water. Second, Eros here gives us "a more guided and detailed tour" of Greek history from the Allegory clip, with the following moments in order: - MINOAN civilization from about 2,000 BC to 1,400 BC at CRETE (Κρήτη; PREHISTORIC period); - the fisherman sequence from about 1,700 BC to 1,200 BC (PREHISTORIC period), with saffron gathering by girls to gain womanhood. Here, Eros grabbed a saffron flower from one of them. The AGE OF COPPER occurred around this time as well; - the GEOMETRIC period (from around 1,050 BC to 700 BC). The main highlight here was a goddess named Potnia Theron [mistress of wild animals of Mycenae (Μυκήνες)]; - the ARCHAIC period (700 BC to 480 BC), highlighted by the winged horse Pegasus. Also, Eros gave the flower away; - the CLASSICAL theater period (534 BC to 260 BC), highlighted by model of the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus (Ἐπίδαυρος). Also, the image of Hercules was shown. His name here is Roman, as the Greeks call him Heracles. - more of the CLASSICAL period (480 BC to 323 BC), highlighted by the arrival of the Greek gods and goddesses (Zeus, Athena, Apollo, etc.); - the CLASSICAL sports period (480 BC to 30 BC), highlighted by Nike. The ancient Olympic Games was more established then, with another highlight of Alexander the Great: King of ancient Macedon(ia) (b. 356 BC; d. 323 BC). More in next clip. YouTuber cmc8856 helped me with a bit of this clip here because my version did not turn out well. Hence, you see a bit of a "break" there. Besides, others have uploaded these scenes before this clip already. Note: if you have seen the Geometric sequence there, two people held the Athens 2004 official mascot toys. That was where ATHOC got the idea from.
