Trailer episode to whet your whistle for our upcoming series on Alexander the Great, his mother, his father, the Greco-Persian Wars, the Corinthian Wars, the Peloponnesian Wars, and of course Alexander's conquest of Persia, Egypt and Northern India. We want to look deeper into his motivations past the technical details of his battles that have been covered thousands of times over in other podcasts. Our goal is to explore the religious and cultural motivations of Alexander, those around him, and examine how these things might yield the true motivations for Alexanders actions and set him on a path that would lead either to godhood or death in a series we're calling The Ascension of Alexander the Great.
