The Story of Europe 1/6 - Origins and Identity

The Story of Europe: In six glossy episodes. This series tells the story of Europe through different chapters of its eventful history. From physical beginnings to the first human settlers, the evolution of European culture and religion, historical achievements in exploration, technology, and politics, and a daring look at the continent's present and future, it's a journey through time and across space.

Episode 1: Origins and Identity

When and where does Europe's history begin? The traces lead to ancient Greece, more specifically to Crete, where we found not only the continent's first high culture, but also the myth that gave the continent its name: the kidnapping of the princess Europa by the Greek god Zeus.
