[body]

In Tantalus, we return to Ancient Greece to view the origins and outcome of the Trojan Wars with a modern eye. The legend, handed down through the ages in fragments, remains at the core of Western civilization. In this ten-part epic drama, the story is told complete. Achilles, Helen of Troy, Cassandra, Orestes and the heroes of Greek myth face up to the questions and dilemmas of a world at war.
