The First War for Western Civilization

  • Like real information, like TFWFTW

    Finally something that is not riddled with advertisements, but rather, with lots of detail. A mixture of information and light drama (although at times it gets better).

    Like the trailer said, the full story. Everything from where the Greeks and Persians came from, what made them different, how they came to fight, the war, all 50 years of it, what happened after the death of the principal real life character, Kimon, and a wrap up of the legacy.

    No holds barred, I think a few Greeks won't like it, real truths about slaves in the ancient world at the time, and the causes of the war.

    Lot of information on 2 major incidents in the war, especially about the 300 Spartans. No more detail as it would be a spoiler.

    Information, 9/10, acting 4-7, some nice music as well.
