The Voice of Greece program “Historical Walks” with Marilena Katsimi undertakes an ambitious two-part tribute to Iran, tracing its history from antiquity to the present day.
Iran is a country with deep historical roots, a pivotal role in the Middle East, and a constant presence in international developments. Professor Sotiris Roussos of the University of the Peloponnese, a specialist in Middle Eastern studies, guides us from the great Persian empires of antiquity through successive dynasties and conquests, into the modern era, the Iranian Revolution, and contemporary geopolitical developments.
Carefully selected musical pieces accompany this journey, evoking the atmosphere of a civilization with a rich heritage and a strong cultural identity.
A radio journey through knowledge, history, and music—offering a lens through which to understand the present by looking at the past.
