- Summary:
- Part 12 of Chris Marker's contemplative essay about the influence of Greek culture in our society. In each of the thirteen episodes, a Greek word is deciphered by artists and intellectuals from various countries. This segment explores how the great figures borne out of Greek tragedies help us fathom the founding mechanisms of human practices -- all the way to a society like Japan, that is so apparently far from ours.
