Teaser: After Salamis (Patreon Bonus)


Listen Later

This is a teaser of the bonus episode, "After Salamis" found over on Patreon.

As we dissect the aftermath of one of history's pivotal naval battles, unravel the intricate web woven by Xerxes to obscure his intentions and navigate the treacherous waters of retreat. With insights from Herodotus, we illuminate the contrasting influences of Mardonius and Artemisia on the Persian king's next steps, each representing aggression and prudence, respectively. This episode promises to enrich your understanding of how ancient leaders balanced ambition with survival as the Greeks and Persians faced off in a saga that would forever alter the course of history.

With winter on the horizon, the episode explores the logistical challenges confronting the Persian forces left behind and the implications for the Greek city-states plotting their next moves. Examine how the Athenians and Spartans prepared for further conflicts, setting the stage for another chapter in their epic struggle. Our narrative crafts a vivid picture of the geopolitical landscape and military strategies that unfolded in the shadow of Salamis. Join us as we uncover the political and military calculations that would shape the destiny of the ancient world.
