Peeking at the queen cost Gyges his simple life… and earned him a kingdom. Join us as we dive into the steamy, schemey tale of Gyges, the ultimate accidental king.

Spoiler: when the queen catches you, you either run for your life—or seize the throne!

If you want to play Fan of History bingo you better have Gyges on your card because he will show up a LOT. What he does today will have repercussions for more than 100 years.

Tune in for a tale that’s part murder mystery, part soap opera, and all ancient drama!

This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.
