00:07:44I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:07:54How did the people of Atene pray here?
00:08:04Basically, it's a barbecue.
00:08:08What do you mean you don't pray?
00:08:10In the past, people ate meat together with God.
00:08:20They shared the same meat with God and ate it together.
00:08:25They gave some of the meat to God and shared the rest with the people.
00:08:32That's the tradition of the festival.
00:08:36It's like eating barbecue with God, but it's also a prayer.
00:08:41In Japan, people eat the food offered to God later.
00:08:46But in Atene, people eat the food offered to God later.
00:08:54So it's very close to God.
00:08:59In ancient Greece, there was a god like Jao Yorozu in Japan.
00:09:06He is said to live in Olympos, the highest mountain in Greece.
00:09:13He is called Olympos XII, and is said to be the most influential god.
00:09:19He appears in many myths.
00:09:24Zeus, the highest god of all gods.
00:09:30His brothers are Poseidon, the god of the sea and earthquakes.
00:09:37Apollon, the god of light.
00:09:42Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
00:09:48And Athena, the guardian of Atene.
00:09:54The gods of mythology are all full of personality.
00:09:59Sometimes they fall in love, sometimes they get jealous, sometimes they do bad things.
00:10:04They are depicted in a way that is very similar to humans.
00:10:10It's impossible to talk about all the gods.
00:10:15This time, we will focus on Zeus, the highest god of all gods, and Apollon, the god of light.
00:10:22In addition, Apollon's son, Asclepius, the god of medicine, will also appear.
00:10:30If you follow the three generations of gods here, you can see what Greek mythology is.
00:10:38Mr. Kuranosuke, who was asked by Mr. Shishin, immediately followed the story of Zeus and left Atene.
00:10:48230 km south of Atene, you can see Kureta Island.
00:10:54260 km northeast, 60 km southeast.
00:10:59The area is almost the same as Hyogo Prefecture.
00:11:03It is the largest island floating in the Aegean Sea.
00:11:07It is said that this island is deeply involved in the birth of Zeus, the highest god.
00:11:15I want to go air cruising.
00:11:18I want to go cruising.
00:11:20I have a first-class boat license.
00:11:25That's right. I have a first-class boat license.
00:11:29I got it.
00:11:31So I can go.
00:11:35Let's go.
00:11:37Let's go.
00:11:39Kureta Island's largest city, Heraklion.
00:11:43It is a port town that has flourished as a sea town since ancient times.
00:11:49Many ships sailed from Egypt and Central Asia, and this was also a place where civilization thrived.
00:12:00We aim for the center of the island in search of the myth of the birth of Zeus.
00:12:07Please look at the mountain on the left.
00:12:10What do you think that mountain on the left looks like?
00:12:15It's a mountain.
00:12:17What does that mountain look like?
00:12:21It's gone.
00:12:23It's gone.
00:12:25I think it will look beautiful soon.
00:12:30I can see it now.
00:12:31That's it.
00:12:33I can see it now.
00:12:35I think I know what it looks like.
00:12:38I'll look at it more closely.
00:12:42It's a person's profile.
00:12:45That's amazing.
00:12:47It has a forehead.
00:12:49It's a little raised.
00:12:51It has eyelids.
00:12:53It has a nose.
00:12:55That's exactly right.
00:12:57It is said to be the profile of Zeus in the legend of the local people of Kureta Island.
00:13:02The profile of Zeus.
00:13:04There is a legend that Zeus, the highest god of Kureta Island, was born here and died here.
00:13:11He died here?
00:13:12Yes.
00:13:13Does God die here?
00:13:14That's right.
00:13:15It's a unique way of thinking of the people of Kureta Island.
00:13:18The people of the mainland say that Zeus is not dead.
00:13:21But the people of Kureta Island say that Zeus was born here and died here.
00:13:26There are two legends.
00:13:29The holy place of Zeus Yukari, which is said to be in the wilderness of the mountain.
00:13:37Let's listen to the essence of the myth of how Zeus, the highest god, was born in this world.
00:13:48In ancient times, the world did not yet exist.
00:13:53There was only chaos.
00:13:58From the chaos, the first goddess, Gaia, was born.
00:14:04At the same time, other gods were born.
00:14:08Eventually, Gaia married Uranus, the god of heaven.
00:14:15Gaia gave birth to children one after another.
00:14:18However, Uranus, the husband, disliked some of the children because they were ugly.
00:14:24He trapped his wife Gaia in his stomach.
00:14:30Gaia was angry with Zeus and ordered his youngest son, Cronus, to defeat his husband.
00:14:38Uranus, who was defeated by his son, left a prophecy to Cronus before he collapsed.
00:14:46You will also be taken away by your son.
00:14:52Cronus, who was ruled by the king of the gods.
00:14:56However, when a child was born between him and his wife Gaia, he was afraid of prophecy.
00:15:02He trapped all five children in his stomach.
00:15:10When the sixth child, Zeus, was born, his wife Gaia hoped that at least this child would grow up safely and save the other siblings.
00:15:22And she went on a mission to give a stone wrapped in a blanket to her husband Cronus.
00:15:30Cronus, who was deceived by his mother, believed his son and swallowed the stone.
00:15:36Zeus, who was on the brink of death, was hidden in a cave on Cretaceous.
00:15:42And he was raised by spirits and goats.
00:15:48As time went by, Zeus, bearing the wish of his mother,
00:15:54made his father, Cronus, drink the elixir given to him by the goddess of wisdom.
00:16:00Then the brothers were expelled from his father's stomach one after another.
00:16:06Zeus joined hands with his brothers and fought with his father, Cronus, and won.
00:16:12Thus, Zeus ascended to the top of the Olympus Twelve Gods.
00:16:24Now, we have arrived at our destination.
00:16:54I can show you if you want to follow me all the way to the cave.
00:17:00Be careful.
00:17:07Mr. Cronus heads for the sacred cave of Zeus Yukari.
00:17:12He follows a path of thorns, which is said to have been climbed by ancient people.
00:17:19Oh, I can see it.
00:17:21I can see it.
00:17:27Let me show you the way.
00:17:35I didn't know it was like this from below.
00:17:39There is a huge rock at an altitude of about 1500 meters.
00:17:45There is a hole about 40 meters high and 50 meters wide here.
00:17:53This is the Ileon Cave.
00:17:57It is said that this is the place where Zeus, who escaped from his father, Cronus,
00:18:03and grew up in the birth myth of Zeus.
00:18:10And it is said that ancient people made this place a sacred place where they worshipped Zeus.
00:18:20What a magnificent cave.
00:18:23Yes, this cave is dedicated to the worship of Zeus.
00:18:28It has a long history of several millennia.
00:18:32It dates from the late Neolithic period,
00:18:37about 3,000 to 3,300 years before the birth of Christ,
00:18:43up to the Roman era of the 4th century AD.
00:18:52We have come to a completely different space.
00:18:56I feel like something important was hidden here.
00:19:01Let's take a look.
00:19:03I feel like I'm stepping into a sacred place.
00:19:07Let's go.
00:19:27I feel like I'm being watched over.
00:19:31It's amazing that it was built so naturally.
00:19:40This is...
00:19:44I feel like my body is being pulled in by this coolness.
00:19:49Just by standing here for a while.
00:19:52Zeus was raised here for a while.
00:19:57And his cry resonates in the cave.
00:20:01In order to hide it, there are musicians around him.
00:20:05They play the tambourine and make a lot of noise.
00:20:09That's how they prevented other people from hearing about the birth of a baby.
00:20:14They make a lot of noise.
00:20:16We are in the central hall of the cave,
00:20:19which is divided into three.
00:20:22There is another room to the south and another to the north.
00:20:27The archaeologist, Mr Kokinakos,
00:20:30believed that Zeus was hiding here,
00:20:34and he told us about the traces of the ancient people who prayed here.
00:20:43A small cave.
00:20:45This is where the priest was probably hidden.
00:20:49You have to imagine a fire.
00:20:52We found traces of fire on the walls from the smoke.
00:20:55As you can see here, the light came inside the cave.
00:21:00The cave looks to the east.
00:21:03And only one can imagine what the night sky would be with the starlight
00:21:07coming inside the cave and what kind of ceremonies took place here.
00:21:20It's a myth.
00:21:23Is God what humans imagine?
00:21:27Or was there really a God?
00:21:30I don't know how to put it,
00:21:33but I think it's interesting to see
00:21:36that the boundaries are overlapping.
00:21:40I think it's interesting to see that the boundaries are overlapping.
00:21:47I felt that Zeus was a God
00:21:51who was deep in his heart.
00:21:54I felt that he was deep in his heart.
00:21:58I felt that he was deep in his heart.
00:22:04According to Greek mythology,
00:22:07Zeus, who ruled as the God of all things,
00:22:10used absolute power
00:22:13to protect and rule both God and man.
00:22:18And he gave birth to many children between God and man.
00:22:22And he gave birth to many children between God and man.
00:22:25Among them was a God deeply involved in human civilization and history.
00:22:29Among them was a God deeply involved in human civilization and history.
00:22:32The son of Zeus, the God of light,
00:22:35was the God of light.
00:22:38What kind of God is Apollo?
00:22:41Mr. Kuranosuke visited the Greek National Academy in Athens.
00:22:44Mr. Kuranosuke visited the Greek National Academy in Athens.
00:22:47It's a research institute for science, literature, and art.
00:22:50It's a research institute for science, literature, and art.
00:22:54The woman on the left is Athena.
00:22:57The woman on the left is Athena.
00:23:00The woman on the right is Apollo.
00:23:04Apollo is so cool.
00:23:07Apollo is so cool.
00:23:10He's like an idol.
00:23:15Apollo was known for his wisdom,
00:23:18knowledge, music, art, speech, and medicine.
00:23:21knowledge, music, art, speech, and medicine.
00:23:24He was said to be an all-around young and beautiful God.
00:23:27He was said to be an all-around young and beautiful God.
00:23:31You can see Apollo holding a shield in his left hand.
00:23:34You can see Apollo holding a shield in his left hand.
00:23:37It symbolizes that he is a God of art and music.
00:23:40It symbolizes that he is a God of art and music.
00:23:43Apollo was very popular.
00:23:46He was very popular.
00:23:49He was the most beautiful God.
00:23:52He was the most beautiful God.
00:23:56The Kingdom of God established the essential part for ancient Greek people.
00:24:00The Kingdom of God established the essential part for ancient Greek people.
00:24:03The Kingdom of God established the essential part for ancient Greek people.
00:24:06Apollo was known for his wisdom, verbal art, and speech.
00:24:09He taught people about God and teached others about God.
00:24:12He taught people about God and taught others about God.
00:24:15He broadcast real-life peròns and próxima-portéric.
00:24:18So ancient Greeks could not expect
00:24:21to see Apollo before their death.
00:24:24to visit the shrine of Apollo.
00:24:33The shrine of Apollo has changed the history of reality for a long time.
00:24:39Mr. Kuranosuke has come to the hillside of the Athenaeus,
00:24:44which overlooks the aqueduct called Salamis.
00:24:48In the battle of Salamis, which once took place in this sea,
00:24:52the shrine of Apollo changed the fate of Greece.
00:24:58In 480 BC, a huge Persian army
00:25:03was approaching to defeat the Greek alliance,
00:25:07which was based in Athens.
00:25:11It was the greatest threat to the destruction of Greece.
00:25:18We have to protect the people,
00:25:21but it's impossible for everyone to run away.
00:25:25I need a clue.
00:25:30I need a clue.
00:25:36So the people of Athens went to Delphi,
00:25:40the holy place of Apollo.
00:25:44Delphi is about 65 km from Athens to the northwest.
00:25:48It is located at the end of a steep mountain range.
00:25:54The ancient people worshipped this place,
00:25:57which is said to have been the holy place of Apollo,
00:26:01as a holy place of worship.
00:26:07In the temple, the shrine maiden was in a state of coma
00:26:12and uttered some meaningless words.
00:26:16The priest next to her
00:26:18replaced the words with understandable ones
00:26:21and conveyed them to the people.
00:26:26Before the Persian threat,
00:26:28the people of Athens came to Delphi with strong feelings.
00:26:32What kind of guidance was given to the people of Athens?
00:26:39It was that they should abandon the city
00:26:42because destruction was waiting for them.
00:26:49It's hopeless.
00:26:50Yes, it's hopeless.
00:26:52What would you do if you were told that?
00:26:57You're not wrong, are you?
00:27:00No, I'm not.
00:27:04What should I do?
00:27:08Should you run away?
00:27:10No, I can't.
00:27:12I can't run away.
00:27:14I have to find a solution.
00:27:16I'll ask you one more time.
00:27:20This is how Apollo answered.
00:27:23All right.
00:27:24I'll tell you the only way to be safe.
00:27:29It's to get close to the wall of fire.
00:27:34That's the only way to protect your country.
00:27:39Get close to the wall of fire.
00:27:42That's what he said.
00:27:45How should we interpret the wall of fire?
00:27:50The interpretation of the wall of fire is to understand what God is saying.
00:27:59The choice is absolute.
00:28:01It's like fate.
00:28:03But you can make a choice.
00:28:06There is a hill in Acropolis that we saw.
00:28:09It's on the Palatine Hill.
00:28:11At that time, it was surrounded by a fence of trees.
00:28:15The wall of fire is the center of the city.
00:28:21It's the Palatine Hill.
00:28:24So we thought we could win if we built a farm here.
00:28:31That's why we built a farm.
00:28:34At that time, Temistocles, a politician, said,
00:28:38We should build a lot of ships here and attack the sea.
00:28:50He said we should attack the sea, not protect the sea.
00:28:52The moment when the New Testament was established was 480 BC.
00:28:57It happened in September.
00:29:01There are about 700 ships of the Persian fleet approaching the Salamis waterway.
00:29:08On the other hand, there are only 380 ships of the Greek alliance led by Temistocles.
00:29:17However, the ships on the Greek side were special ships called tripod ships.
00:29:23This ship is the wall of fire in the New Testament of Apollo.
00:29:29The people of Greece believed in the New Testament.
00:29:32They fought against the Persian army using the technology of that time.
00:29:37As a result, the Greek alliance won by overthrowing the Hesychast.
00:29:42They were able to overcome the crisis of loss.
00:29:49Mr. Kuranosuke headed for the port of Frisbos near Athens.
00:29:56I'm here. Where am I?
00:30:07I didn't imagine this.
00:30:12It's so cool.
00:30:17This is the wall of fire.
00:30:21I see.
00:30:24This wall was protected by the port.
00:30:30I've never seen anything like this.
00:30:34What's going on inside?
00:30:37Let me have a look.
00:30:45Wow.
00:30:48This is the bottom of the ship.
00:30:52It's true.
00:30:55There are three levels.
00:30:59I'm going to sit down.
00:31:03This is the middle.
00:31:11I'm sitting here.
00:31:15I don't know what to do.
00:31:20I'm going to sit on the top.
00:31:25I've heard that I can dig the wall.
00:31:30I'm going to dig it.
00:31:45Here we go.
00:31:52This is the wall of fire.
00:32:01I heard that I can dig the wall.
00:32:04I wonder what the captain is doing next.
00:32:08He's fighting.
00:32:11He's hitting the tip of the ship.
00:32:15He's hitting the belly of the ship.
00:32:30When I saw this ship today,
00:32:34I realized that everything is right.
00:32:40I've heard that twice.
00:32:44I felt like I had to win.
00:32:49I had to win.
00:32:54I felt that.
00:33:00I'm not asking God for help.
00:33:03I'm asking God if I'm doing the right thing.
00:33:07I thought it was amazing.
00:33:11I thought that God was that great for the ancient Greeks.
00:33:15I thought that strongly.
00:33:22God of light, Apollon,
00:33:25who influenced the civilization and history of mankind
00:33:29by his intellectual activities.
00:33:32His son, Asclepius,
00:33:35played the role of a physician.
00:33:39And he had a great influence on the ancient people
00:33:44in terms of human life and health.
00:33:51Approximately 65 kilometers west of Athens,
00:33:55we aim to see the islands of Salonikos
00:33:58while looking at the sacred site of Asclepius,
00:34:01the Epidaurus Ruins.
00:34:05Is he a doctor, a pharmacist, or a nurse?
00:34:09But...
00:34:12He must be a god who heals people.
00:34:20Asclepius.
00:34:23He holds a snake in his hand.
00:34:28The snake is wrapped around his hand.
00:34:31The mark of the WHO, the World Health Organization,
00:34:35is on the snake.
00:34:42Asclepius, who ruled over medicine and life,
00:34:46was actually born into this world
00:34:49at the risk of his own life.
00:34:53One day, his father, Apollon,
00:34:56sees a beautiful woman, Colonis.
00:35:00Soon, Colonis sees Apollon's daughter.
00:35:06But Apollon is too busy to see her.
00:35:10Colonis, who had adopted a child,
00:35:13falls in love with another man.
00:35:16Apollon finds out about it
00:35:19through a crow.
00:35:22Apollon is furious.
00:35:25He kills Colonis with an arrow.
00:35:28How terrible!
00:35:32But Apollon manages to save his daughter's life.
00:35:38That child is Asclepius.
00:35:45Apollon's father was also a god of medicine.
00:35:49Asclepius, who inherited his talent,
00:35:53was raised by a man who knew all about medicine.
00:35:57He was raised by a man who knew all about medicine.
00:36:02And finally, he was able to revive the dead.
00:36:06As a medical genius,
00:36:09his fame spread.
00:36:14But there was a god who couldn't stay silent.
00:36:18Hades, who ruled over the underworld.
00:36:23Zeus told Apollon that if he could revive the dead,
00:36:27the order between god and man would be broken.
00:36:31Zeus shot a lightning bolt.
00:36:37Asclepius died.
00:36:41But Apollon, his father,
00:36:44was very proud of Zeus.
00:36:47So Zeus revived Asclepius as a god.
00:36:53As a result, Apollon became more and more interested in medicine.
00:37:03Now, we have arrived at Epidaurus, the holy site of the god Asclepius.
00:37:09We have arrived.
00:37:20This is the front gate leading to the holy site,
00:37:23Propylaia.
00:37:28Propylaia is believed to have been a small temple.
00:37:34The people who visited the temple went through the temple to purify themselves
00:37:39and enter the holy spirit.
00:37:43So it's not like there is a doctor who specializes in medicine,
00:37:47but a god who heals people.
00:37:50That's a very good point.
00:37:54There is a god and a doctor.
00:37:58The people who enter the temple are not in good health.
00:38:03But when they leave the temple, they are said to be in good health.
00:38:07Why is that?
00:38:09Why?
00:38:11How do you expect a god to heal you?
00:38:15The secret lies in the holy spirit.
00:38:28The secret lies in the holy spirit.
00:38:58The secret lies in the holy spirit.
00:39:12When I was standing in the middle, I was thinking of throwing everything away.
00:39:19I was thinking of throwing everything away.
00:39:23When I closed my eyes, I could feel the sunlight.
00:39:31I could feel the wind.
00:39:33I could hear the birds chirping.
00:39:36I could feel that I was in nature.
00:39:42That's why I came down here.
00:39:47Yes.
00:39:48How was it?
00:39:51Yes.
00:39:53Are you feeling better now?
00:39:55Yes, I am.
00:39:58My face looks different from when I came in.
00:40:03I feel refreshed.
00:40:05Can I go home now?
00:40:07No, no, no.
00:40:08Please show me inside.
00:40:12The Epidaurus Ruins are also registered as a World Heritage Site.
00:40:18It is 3.4 square kilometers in size.
00:40:22In the center of the building, there are lodgings, restaurants, gyms, and prayer rooms.
00:40:30There are also medical, sports, and religious facilities.
00:40:37This used to be one of the healing centers of Ancient Greece.
00:40:45Until the Roman era, medical care was provided to everyone, regardless of their gender or where they were born.
00:40:57There is one thing I would like you to see.
00:41:00It is this hymn.
00:41:04This is a Greek hymn.
00:41:06It is a treatment of Asclepius.
00:41:12It depicts how he healed people one by one, like a cartoon.
00:41:20A cartoon?
00:41:22Yes.
00:41:23There is one characteristic.
00:41:25In the third line of the hymn, it says,
00:41:28it is a woman who has been diagnosed with pregnancy.
00:41:36At that time, there were many male doctors.
00:41:44At that time, women didn't want to show their bodies to men.
00:41:50There were many women who died without being diagnosed with pregnancy.
00:41:55This hymn is especially important because it is seen by God.
00:42:01It is easy for women to wear it.
00:42:04That's interesting.
00:42:05That kind of episode is interesting.
00:42:07It makes me want to go there.
00:42:09It makes me want to go there.
00:42:10It makes me want to go there.
00:42:11I think so, too.
00:42:12It's interesting.
00:42:15This is the ruins of the temple of Asclepius.
00:42:21There is an interesting building here that shows what kind of god Asclepius is.
00:42:32This is a building called Toros.
00:42:36What is important about this building is that
00:42:40this is the grave of Asclepius.
00:42:46Asclepius was born as a human being,
00:42:51died once, and became a god.
00:42:54He is a god with such an episode.
00:43:00Asclepius was not a god from the beginning.
00:43:04At first, he was born as a human being with a limited life from his mother.
00:43:10He experienced death.
00:43:13The existence of the grave shows that.
00:43:21Asclepius died and became a god.
00:43:24Isn't this a myth?
00:43:26It's a myth.
00:43:27It's a myth.
00:43:28It's a myth, but he died as a human being, so he made it.
00:43:32That's right.
00:43:33That's right.
00:43:34That's the point.
00:43:37That's the point of Geisha Shinwa.
00:43:40But he believed in it and practiced it.
00:43:46That's right.
00:43:47That's interesting.
00:43:49Asclepius is a god of medical technology.
00:43:52He can't confess to a god who has never died to heal people.
00:44:03He has to experience how painful and sad it is to die once.
00:44:12He has to be a good doctor.
00:44:15He has to feel death all the time.
00:44:18Doctors are different, aren't they?
00:44:24I finally felt the god.
00:44:27I forgot about it.
00:44:29I see.
00:44:31Let's take a look at how Asclepius heals people.
00:44:43This is a building called Abaton.
00:44:47In Japanese, Abaton is called Okomori-do.
00:44:51I see.
00:44:52You come here at night and sleep here overnight.
00:44:57You lie down and sleep.
00:44:59Then the god comes in your dream.
00:45:02The god heals you in your dream.
00:45:05When you wake up in the morning, you're healed.
00:45:08That's how he heals people.
00:45:13You don't believe it, do you?
00:45:16No, I do.
00:45:17Really?
00:45:18Yes, I do.
00:45:20You don't believe it?
00:45:22No, I believe it.
00:45:29I see.
00:45:33This is inside Abaton.
00:45:38Asclepius decided to experience dream healing.
00:45:47Is this okay?
00:45:49Yes, it's okay.
00:45:56I already feel good.
00:45:58Already?
00:46:01I think I can sleep here.
00:46:07Like this?
00:46:08Yes.
00:46:10Please.
00:46:12I already feel good.
00:46:28I feel so good.
00:46:30I feel like I'm going to pass out.
00:46:33I don't want to sleep here.
00:46:38But if I sleep here overnight,
00:46:45I feel like I'm going to be healed.
00:46:51I feel so good.
00:46:54When I heard that Asclepius' god died and came back as a god,
00:47:04I heard that we were all going to sleep here.
00:47:09When I heard that and slept here,
00:47:13I felt that I could really be healed.
00:47:20It's important to have a good mental state.
00:47:24Of course, it's also important to have a good physical condition.
00:47:29But I feel that the most important thing is to have a good mental state.
00:47:35I think that's what God is all about.
00:47:50Kodakai
00:47:55Climbing up the Kodakai Hill, which continues from Shiniki,
00:47:59there is another important facility built in this ancient healing center.
00:48:21Kodakai Healing Center
00:48:39I've never been to a theater like this.
00:48:42Kodakai Theater
00:48:47This is an ancient theater.
00:48:50It was built around 330 B.C.
00:48:54It is said to be the best preserved theater in Greece.
00:49:04It's like a space in space.
00:49:10It's like a different kind of space.
00:49:17It's amazing.
00:49:23There are 55 seats,
00:49:26and it can accommodate 14,000 people.
00:49:29It's a huge theater like a fishing boat.
00:49:32The play was based on a Greek tragedy
00:49:36that took place between an actor wearing a mask
00:49:41and a choir called Choros.
00:49:46The Greek tragedy is about a man who takes a great sin from Greek mythology
00:49:52and goes against his cruel fate or is swept away by fate.
00:49:57It's a glorious story about a man who is sometimes cruel,
00:50:03but sometimes he is kind.
00:50:09Why did you bring such a tragedy to this healing facility?
00:50:20For the Greeks, theater was a sacred thing.
00:50:24They had a kind of purification system.
00:50:27So they would go to the gym, take a bath,
00:50:31move their bodies, and go to sleep.
00:50:34Then they would watch a play
00:50:37that they might experience in the future.
00:50:41They would watch a person go against their fate on stage,
00:50:46and their heart would be purified.
00:50:49For the Greeks, theater was the most important part
00:50:54of their healing system.
00:51:04For the Greeks, theater was the purification system of their souls.
00:51:12Theater is entertainment,
00:51:16but for the Greeks, it's the purification of their souls.
00:51:24That's why they chose this tragedy.
00:51:30This theater is still in operation.
00:51:33Every year, a famous theater festival is held here,
00:51:38and a large number of spectators come to see it.
00:51:42Isn't it shameful?
00:51:44From a woman of high stature!
00:51:49From June to August,
00:51:51Greek tragedies are performed by famous directors from all over the world.
00:51:58Even now, in the 21st century,
00:52:01people here are experiencing the purification of their souls,
00:52:05or catharsis.
00:52:08Tragedy is the emancipation of the myths.
00:52:11It's the emancipation of the myths.
00:52:14They see the faces, they participate in the action,
00:52:17they empathize, they hear, they see, they feel,
00:52:21they develop emotions.
00:52:24They meet, they talk, they fall in love.
00:52:27Ancient Greek mythology is full of such examples.
00:52:31It's not like other cultures,
00:52:34where you have to wait for people to come.
00:52:45When the audience enters...
00:52:47Oh, it's like this.
00:52:49When the audience enters...
00:52:54Wow.
00:52:59Is it echoing?
00:53:00Yes, it's a very good echo.
00:53:05Mr. Kuranosuke has begun to move around the stage.
00:53:11This is the feeling that the people of Greece have brought to the gods.
00:53:17A strange distance and relationship between gods and people.
00:53:23I want to go down a little more.
00:53:26Wait a minute.
00:53:32Mr. Kuranosuke is going to say a famous Greek tragedy
00:53:36at this place.
00:53:46That tragedy is Sophocles.
00:53:51The tragedy of Eurypsus.
00:53:53Eurypsus, who was prophesied to kill his father and marry his mother
00:53:59by Apollon's prophecy.
00:54:04He tried to escape his fate,
00:54:07but in the end he killed his own father
00:54:12and married his mother.
00:54:16When he found out the truth,
00:54:18he despaired and stabbed himself in the eye
00:54:22and became blind.
00:54:34This happened for Apollon's sake, my dear friends.
00:54:40It was Apollon
00:54:42who brought me to such a painful fate.
00:54:47But I was the one who stabbed myself in the eye.
00:55:18Mr. Kuranosuke came to the seaside near the Epidaurus Ruins.
00:55:25He welcomed me with...
00:55:47Would you like to listen to a song?
00:55:49An ancient Greek song for you.
00:55:52It's a song about the joy of life.
00:55:56Lyra
00:56:10A story from ancient times.
00:56:12At the end of their journey,
00:56:14a woman who played the lyra gave them a song.
00:56:25As long as you live, shine.
00:56:36For a moment, feel it.
00:56:42Time is running out.
00:56:52As long as you live, shine.
00:57:13God, where are you?
00:57:18I went to many places.
00:57:21God is everywhere.
00:57:24God must be inside of me.
00:57:29God must be inside of me.
00:57:31God is in all of me.
00:57:33That's what I thought.
00:57:36A story from ancient times.
00:57:39Ancient Greek mythology and ancient theater.
00:57:46I felt that they are necessary
00:57:51when both are necessary conditions.
00:57:57Why did God do such a thing
00:58:01to create such an unfair situation?
00:58:04Why did God do such a thing?
00:58:06That's what I thought.
00:58:09But I don't know how to live my life.
00:58:11I don't know if I'm thinking about it.
00:58:16It's a choice.
00:58:18I have to make a choice.
00:58:22I don't just read mythology.
00:58:24I have to experience it in theater.
00:58:26That's why I need theater.
00:58:28Those two factors
00:58:31made me like mythology and theater.
00:58:38Anyway, what I thought was
00:58:40I want to come to Greece again.
00:58:45That was my journey.
00:58:59One journey around the world.
00:59:02I, Sasaki Kuranosuke,
00:59:04will go to Venice.
00:59:06I will explore the secret of evil
00:59:08that brought peace to the city of water.
00:59:10This is so exciting.
00:59:15Three years after the invasion of Ukraine.
00:59:17Why?
00:59:18I just saw it.
00:59:20Are you okay?
00:59:21I'm fine.
00:59:22Be careful.
00:59:24What do the citizens think
00:59:26about the invasion of Ukraine?
00:59:30The Nordic World Championships
00:59:32will be held once every two years.
00:59:34We look forward to the hot battle
00:59:36for the next year's
00:59:38Milano Cortina Olympics.
