Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour - Season 3
Season 3
Greek Odyssey
Their Grand Tour of Italy and Passage to India taught Rob and Rylan how to appreciate art and culture and how to live their best lives. Next they're on a mission to find out how to make today's world a better place - by learning from the wisdom of the ancient Greeks.
Their journey will take them from the splendour of the Acropolis in Athens to the Oracle at Delphi, to understanding the heroes of Sparta and getting to the root of hedonism on Mykonos.
Along the way they will unpack the ideas of philosophers and thinkers, from Socrates to Pericles to Epicurus, and discover the poetry and plays of Sappho, Homer and Aristophanes. At each stop they'll ask whether the Greeks' innovations in philosophy, politics, arts and ideas can help us today.
As they step out in sandals to explore both ancient and modern Greece, Rob and Rylan will find that the ancient Greeks wrestled with many of the same challenges facing us today, leaving behind timeless insights that might help us to live more wisely.
