: HELLAS PRESERVED
by Stuart AtherleyAt Troezen in Southern Greece an inscription was found in 1959 which has caused a considerable stir among scholars. It throws new light on the great Persian invasion of Greece in 480 B.C. and may lead to a clearer understanding of the Greek strategy underlying the Battles of Artemisium, Thermopylae and Salamis.
Stuart Atherley seeks to show that the contents of the inscription fit exactly into the already existing evidence. His own reconstruction of this Persian campaign was achieved long before the inscription was discovered, and was based on many years' study of the Persian Wars as well as intensive experience of military campaigning.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
