Boring History For Sleep | The French Revolution – The Beginning of Modern Democracy

Boring History For Sleep | The French Revolution – The Beginning of Modern Democracy Between myth and reason lies the story of Greece — the birthplace of Western civilization. It began in the Bronze Age, where the Minoans of Crete built palaces filled with art, and the Mycenaeans dreamed of heroes and gods. But what began as legend would one day become logic. In this calm and cinematic full-length episode of Sleeping History, we explore Ancient Greece – From Myth to Philosophy (3000 BC – 146 BC), tracing the rise of a civilization that transformed human thought. From the myths of Zeus, Athena, and Odysseus, Greece found its first truths in storytelling. Then, through the city-states — Athens, Sparta, Corinth — the Greek world began to question, argue, and reason. Philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle redefined the pursuit of knowledge; artists and architects carved beauty into marble and proportion; and the invention of democracy gave voice to citizens for the first time in history. Even as Greece fell to Rome in 146 BC, its spirit endured — its language, logic, and ideals shaping empires, religions, and revolutions long after its walls crumbled. 🎓 In this episode: The evolution of Greece from mythic age to philosophical golden age The rise of democracy, art, and science in classical Greece The thinkers and heroes who redefined civilization Why Greece’s ideas remain the foundation of modern thought Told through warm light, serene narration, and painterly imagery, Sleeping History turns ruins into reflection — showing how the journey from myth to philosophy became the story of us all. #SleepingHistory #AncientGreece #HistoryDocumentary #WorldHistory #Philosophy
