synopsis
In this series, actor Sir Peter Ustinov narrates the fascinating stories from Greek mythology. Though they are colorful and entertaining works of fiction to modern cultures, they represented much more to the ancient Greeks. In the Path of the Gods: Zeus -- King of the Gods is an examination of the chaotic beginnings of the world. The Greeks believed in a Universal Egg, out of which came the heavenly bodies and life itself. This episode is concerned with Zeus, his wife Hera, and his forays into adultery with Leda, Alcmene, and Europa.
