The Protogenesis story takes place in Athens, Greece. In April 2018, Athens will be UNESCO’s new World Book Capital and will be hosting a special launching event for the release of the Protogenesis Greek edition demonstrating the unique cultural value of the book series.
Over two years and 15 visits to Greece, author Alysia Helming has performed hands-on research on the Greek culture, history and mythology, working with Greek archeologists, mythology experts and The American School of Classical Studies at Athens and has created important synergies connected with the book which will be featured in a future US TV show titled Meet Me in Greece describing the making of the book series.
Some special features are the Protogenesis soundtrack titled Forever and Tonight, performed by the platinum award winning Greek artist Kostas Martakis, accompanied by a music video featuring a special dance act by Jennifer Stahl, principal ballerina of the prestigious San Francisco Ballet Company, as well as the short film series Footsteps in Athens, inspired by the novel and hosted by the Greek music star and Protogenesis Media collaborator Kostas Martakis, which bring to life onscreen a selection of the book’s most intriguing scenes showcasing the real-life experience of Greece!
