‌Welcome to The Boys B.C.!

This week we're finishing our coverage of the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire with a cultural extravaganza. Extra length and slightly unhinged, we go over Persian government, religion, entertainment, myths, and more. What did the Persians eat? What were they afraid of? What is druj? How did they keep such a large empire organized? How did they have iced drinks in the desert over 2000 years ago?? Come find out with us! We laugh, we cry, we wonder, and we mispronounce names. Enjoy.

This week we're continuing our coverage of the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire. This episode is a bit of a redux of our Greco-Persian series but from the Persian perspective. We cover the Persian army, its logistics, and troubles, as well as Darius' and Mardonius' first invasion, followed by Xerxes' invasion. Come learn more about the Persian side of the story, and why they weren't as bad (or as numerous) as we have been led to believe nowadays. Look forward to the next episode, we're planning an extra-length Persian culture episode, get excited!

Come find out what the King of Kings was up to leading up to the Greco-Persian War!
