Today we're straying from the beaten path (and indulging Mike) to discuss a character who had great influence on the Bible, even though he is just barely in it--Alexander the Great. Learn about history's "Greatest" conqueror and how he rose to prominence, how long spears may have changed the world, and Tara's deep-seated fear of horses. We also talk about Alexander's sexuality--was he "gay," and how would the Greeks have thought about it?

PLUS: our bonus segment for this episode challenges what you think you know about Ancient Sparta. Spoiler alert: the movie 300 is bad.
