Description
Iβm excited to share with you one of my favorite podcasts that Iβve recorded! π§π₯
I hope you enjoy it and will β‘οΈ subscribe to βCost of Gloryβ β¬ οΈ (listen on: Spotify or Apple Podcast) and follow Alexβs explorations of the greatest stories from Roman and Greek antiquity.
Itβs like a time machine for the mind, and might inspire you to read some of the great books we recommend near the end of the podcast!
In this episode, Alex and I discuss why the Romans and Greeks of Antiquity were π€π ππ¨ππ€π ππ and his journey following in Plutarchβs footsteps β telling stories of real heroes and learning from their lives. Except Alex does it with a podcast instead of with a reed pen (I had to look up what they used to write in antiquityβ¦)
Thereβs a lot to love about this one. One of my favorite parts is when we do a lightning-round through a bunch of big names from the era, and Alex gives a highlight on each. We discuss people like Alexander the Great, Sulla, Hannibal, Scipio, Julius Caesar, Pompey, Cato the Elder and Cato the Younger, Xenophon, etc.
It gave me a lot of context about names I recognized but didnβt know much about β I feel better equipped to dig deeper! I hope itβll do the same for you.
Enjoy! π π₯
