A GOD IS BORN
“A God Is Born” is an epic journey in time through the memories of Nearchus, a native οf Lassithi of Eastern Crete, the Leader of the warrior
class of the Cretan Archers, who achieved to become the Great Admiral of the Fleet of Alexander the Great and the very first explorer of the
Indian Ocean after crossing the Gedrosian Desert. His recollections, a source of inspiration for the Ancient Greek writers, reveal the plot of
the famous legend according to which Alexander the Great at the time of his adolescence entered the Dikteon Cave - the sacred birthplace
of Zeus, deposited his offerings from Macedonia amongst the human-shaped stalactites and finally reached manhood in an archetypical
coming of age ceremony.
Through dramatized sequences, this monumental documentary unravels some of the glorious epic moments of the Campaigns of Alexander
the Great: The Battle of Thebes, of Issus, of the Granicus River, the conquering of the vast valleys of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers,
the perilous crossings of the Gedrosian and the Arachosian Deserts and the savage combats against the undefeated Persian Cavalry, the
wild Scythian Archers and the fierceful howling Amazons.
