... that the television series The Owl's Legacy was modeled after the ancient Greek symposium? Source: "Marker’s model is the symposium, which, in ancient Greece, was a banquet in which wine was served to ease the flow of ideas." (The New York Times)
ALT1: ... that the television series The Owl's Legacy was stopped for several years because of a dispute over the relationship between modern and ancient Greece? Source: "Pourquoi ce film, électrisant d'intelligence, a-t-il mis autant de temps à nous parvenir ?
