As this series on Greek mythology continues, the focus is on two rival goddesses, Aphrodite and Athene. Narration is provided by Sir Peter Ustinov, and the scenic locations of Greece enhance the programs. In the Path of the Gods: Athene and Aphrodite -- Wisdom and Love is a discussion of the contrast between wisdom and love. The influence of Aphrodite's power is illustrated in stories of Galatea, Pygmalion, Ares, and Adonis, as love rules the day. Athene's contributions to Greek culture are the chariot, the plow, and the potter's wheel.
