According to legend it’s the first of May that the Tuatha De Danaan, a holy people from the isles of Septentrion, arrived in Ireland, carried on a cloud. Three thousand years later this founding mythology of Celtic culture will give birth to the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table – their exploits continue to feed the collective imagination of the West to this day.
Reviews
“Taking a slightly different tack from the standard armchair traveler fare, The Greatest Journeys on Earth series aims to “paint a historical portrait and reveal a new way of life,” or-you might say- uncover the echoes of the past in the contemporary culture through a look at geography, history, art and architecture, culture, celebrations, and cuisine.
Combining beautiful location footage, dramatic reenactments, and good narration, the program covers, among other topics, the story of King Arthur and the legendary sword Excalibur, the origins of Halloween, the Blarney Stone, the world-famous Guinness stout ale, the Loch Ness monster, and even chess! Sure to be a very popular title with both travel and history buffs, this is definitely recommended. Three Stars.” – Video Librarian
