4 Petty Letters Of The Ancient World (Quickfire)
Description
Join us for a lively journey into the ancient world as co-host Alexander Gates and I delve into the most scandalous and petty letters of antiquity.
From expletive-laden tirades to guilt-tripping manipulations, we uncover the outrageous communications of everyday people.
Listen in as we explore the fiery exchanges between an Ottoman Sultan and his insolent correspondent, a Sogdian wife's scathing rebuke, a Babylonian student's cunning manipulation of maternal guilt, and the rebellious outbursts of a spoiled Greek adolescent.
