Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece - Part 4
About this episode
The episode discusses the impending battle between Thebes and Sparta, alongside the historical context of ancient Greece and figures like Artaxerxes.
Thebes (led by Pelopidas and Epaminondas) and Sparta (led by Agesilaus) head inexorably towards a massive showdown… a bloody contest that remains legendary to this day - a historical treasure trove and an amazing story all in one. Not to be outdone, Poseidon takes center stage - giving us a likely candidate for Atlantis. Meanwhile ancient Great King Artaxerxes of Persia refuses to die or give up on taking back Egypt, and the powers north of Greece grow ever stronger.
