PBS: Spartans 2 (Download ONLY)
Part 2 of this three-part history of ancient Greece's military utopia focuses on Sparta's cultural differences---and military engagements---with Athens in the fifth century BC. Athens, a naval power, was dynamic (it was entering its "golden age") while the xenophobic Spartans wished to maintain the status quo. "Sparta," says host Bettany Hughes, "made an enemy of change itself." But in one area---the role of women in their society---the Spartans were far more progressive. (2003)

Troy, Helen of
British historian Bettany Hughes tours the eastern Mediterranean in search of facts behind the legends of "the face that launched a thousand ships," exploring the ways Greeks made love and war circa 1300 B.C. Hughes (who focused often on women's roles in her 2003 PBS documentary series "The Spartans") portrays Helen as far more than just a pretty face: She was a late-Bronze Age mover and shaker who, Hughes says, "walked hand in hand with spirits, dieties and demons." (2005)
