About this episode

The episode discusses the escalating political and military conflicts in ancient Greece, focusing on key figures and events that shape the power dynamics of the time.

As the stakes rise, the game of thrones in Greece continues to get bloodier. Epaminondas aims to strike directly at Spartan power and Agesilaus, but faces political enemies back at home, while Pelopidas heads north to deal with chaos of the two Alexanders of Macedon and Pherae. Athens takes the opportunity to return to their old tricks. This one includes the Spartan assassin society, new cities, an escalation of the Persian Great Satraps Revolt for Artaxerxes to deal with, and the education of the most famous Philip of the ancient world.
