An examination of the sun from various points of view. Includes discussion with illustrative film footage of: archeological remains; architecture; art; Eleusinian mysteries; the Greek god Apollo; a Hindu temple to the sun god with astrological wheel; Latvian summer festival; the Egypttian sun god Aton-Re; the beliefs of North American, South American and Australian native peoples; and nudists frolicking in the forest. The program makes use of the view of J.G. Grazer, author of "The Golden Bough", that primitive myth and magic were a primitive form of science.
