Welcome to The Boys B.C.!

We're rewinding time a bit this week and covering the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire. We're starting this mini-series with a fast and furious crash course through Achaemenid history from its formation to the preparation for its conquest of this little backwater country called Greece. We hope you guys enjoy this Persian series, as we wanted to show them some MUCH needed love before Alexander the Great comes along and slaps the whole house of cards off the table. Next week we cover the Greco-Persian war from the Persian side, get excited!

Welcome to The Boys B.C.!

Today we pick up where we left the all-out war between Corinth-Argos-Thebes-Athens and Sparta. The last few campaigns of the war start to dwindle in their successes and gains, economies slowed, and people are fed up. With Persia amid conflicts with both Cyprus and Egypt, they hope to wrap up this Greek rebellion thing. As Persia's influence over Sparta reaches its peak, the war takes an unexpected turn - peace. Come find out how Persian influence shaped the outcome of this Greek war.

Welcome to The Boys B.C.!

Today we start back up military history with a continuation of Ancient Greece in the 4th century BCE. We're picking back up roughly 3 years after the Peloponnesian War when Sparta pushed their luck after their decisive victory over Athens. Join us and learn about Corinth, Argos, and the re-emergence of Athens thanks to their once mortal rival - the Persians. It's a war full of table-turning and schemes, we hope you enjoy it!
