An affluent city in Magna Graecia; an ambitious tyrant; an incredible victory over the most dreaded enemy; a temple of colossal proportions.

These are the ingredients of an exciting story that brings together scientific diffusion and the pleasure of narrative. Thanks to 2D and 3D animation techniques, this documentary brings the ancient city of Agrigento back to life and reconstructs the historical, political and military events which led to the construction and subsequent destruction of an exceptional monument, an impressive metaphor of man’s power and fragility: the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
