Now that the Crusaders had made it all the way to the ancient city of Antioch, they gazed upon the mighty walls and set up their camps. Antioch was built on the side of a mountain, so that the city walls went right up into the hills, and the tallest tower in the city looked down on the fields and the crusader camp from thousands of feet above. This was going to be a very long siege... one that would last all the way through the fall, winter, and spring. The Five armies of the Crusaders were going to have to learn how to deal with the Turkic armies of Syria, as well as how to deal with each other.

About History of Modern Greece
From the publisher's feed
How did the Romans become Greeks?
In 1453, Constantinople fell, and the Roman Empire came to an end. But what happened to the Romans who survived?
Their empire was gone, but…
their story was far from over.
Welcome to The History of Modern Greece, a father-and-son history podcast exploring one of history's most fascinating transformations: how the Roman world of Constantinople became the modern nation of Greece.
Our journey begins in Ancient Greece, follows the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, and continues beyond the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople. From the Greek scholars of the Renaissance to the Orthodox Church under Ottoman rule, from the flourishing Greek communities of Venice and Russia to the revolutionaries who fought for independence, we follow the people, ideas, faith, and traditions that endured through centuries of change.
Along the way, we explore emperors and patriarchs, philosophers and soldiers, merchants and revolutionaries, bringing their stories to life through detailed research, immersive storytelling, and the conversations of a father and son who share a passion for history.
If you love Roman history, Byzantine history, or the extraordinary story of Greece, you've come to the right place.
The Roman Empire fell. The Romans survived. Their story continues here.
