We enter the narrative in ancient Greece. We focus on the political landscape of the time and specifically the rivalry between Sparta and Athens and the conflict between Corcyra and Corinth.

In this episode, Corcyra speaks in Athens as they try to join the Athenian alliance. But representatives of their enemy, Corinth, are there too, preparing to prevent the same alliance from forming.

As a short note before we enter the narrative of the series, we address our sources and translations of the sources.

Introduction to the project. I intend to reanimate the greatest speeches of history. Welcome
