World History Class with Mr. Lutz

Episode 6 – Classical Greece and Rome


Listen Later

How did I manage to fit all of Greece and Rome’s history into an episode just over 30 minutes long. I didn’t, not even close. However, I gave it a shot and here it is. Lots more to say about trade and the role of religion, but this episode tries to establish broad historical patterns by focusing on the political trajectory of the two civilizations.

For more on the Mary Beard controversy (so much respect for her, not ashamed to show my bias):
