Episode 10: The Greeks we Know and Love

Jump into world history with a bird's eye view of the human story. Your host, Dr. Scott Swartsfager, uses his PhD in history and years of teaching to connect the world across time. Too often historians focus on names and dates rather than the juicy story of how we came to be who we are today. History should never be boring because it’s our story! Each week he unfolds another chapter in the history of the world from a bird’s-eye view. This history is engaging, interesting, and relevant.&nbsp; This is the history you want to know, not what you were forced to learn. This is History Unbound.&nbsp; For more information about speaking engagements, or to see Dr. Swartsfager's other works, please visit saswarts.com.
