The History of Ancient Greece Podcast is a deep-dive into one of the most influential and fundamental civilization in world history. Hosted by philhellene Ryan Stitt, THOAG spans over two millennia. From the Bronze Age to the Archaic Period, from Classical Greece to the Hellenistic kingdoms, and finally to the Roman conquest, this podcast will tell the history of a fundamental civilization by bringing to life the fascinating stories of all the ancient sources and scholarly interpretations of the archaeological evidence. And we won't just detail their military and political history, but their society, how the Greeks lived day-to-day, as well as their culture-their art, architecture, philosophy, literature, religion, science, and all the other incredible aspects of the Greek achievement , while situating the Greeks within a multicultural Mediterranean whose peoples influenced and were influenced by one another.

I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you!
Amazing stuff as always!
I absolutely love the content and deep dive into history. Not that it matters, but my only critique is the presentation of information. I listen to this at work (which is mainly physical) to keep my mind occupied. At times, the combination of the nomenclature along with complex adjectives seems like word vomit 😅 I'm not the smartest person, I'm able to follow along for the most part, but sometimes I get dizzy listening to this. Would it be possible to do a dumbed-down version without sacrificing the integrity of the information? If not, I completely understand. It's me, not you. But either way, thank you for the upload. Keep up the great work 👍🏽
A very profound delve into the subject as always , sir. Thanks for your work
All is good but what on earth is your "mee-ly-tus"? Do you always mean "Miletus" by that? Thanks for a great and informative series though )
Thank you very much!
Still seem to be missing episode 110.
Glad to see a new post love your work.
@@Davlavi appreciate it! Hopefully more will be forthcoming at a quicker pace. Been very busy with the day job and the personal life.
Thx for this but the audio is unlistenable. There’s a massive thump when you start to speak, either a microphone or recording issues
@@daddust thanks for the feedback but can you give a specific timestamp? I just gave some of it a listen and don’t hear any issues on my end.
these are a gift, thank you

Just read praise for this series of Podcasts on Historum. I am really looking forward to getting into this.
Videos like this make TH-cam worth it. Great job!
I just came here from spotify to say one thing: „In any case…“
I noticed that you picked the chronology of Theramenes dying after Thrasybulus took Phyle
The most underrated lecture channel on youtube
These are great!

May I say I’m really enjoying this series. Thanks so much for all the hard work
The creation myth - the ultimate misogyny. Interesting episode nonetheless.

that girl at the beginning doesn't understand the myths e's tryinng to "fix". "Zeus s a philanderer" is such a stupid take. Zeus is the vitality of life itself. Literally everything that exists is because Zues fvcked it. Or fathered it. Point is, it is ALWAYS beautiful when Zeus fvcks ANYTHING. Stop doing feminism stupidly, please.
Leeeeeeets go in adventure 😎🔥🔥🔥
