À propos de cette écoute
When one hears the term Greek, our first thoughts may rush to Socrates, temples, and togas, but this is just a small section of the exciting and complex history of the Hellenistic world.
Caesar wasn’t the only military and political leader of his time. And Cleopatra wasn’t the only one unsure of her feelings toward Rome. From the death of Alexander the Great onward, the area around Greece was rife with civil wars, treachery, treason, and backstabbing. If you are interested in military history, politics, or archaeology, or are simply an armchair scholar, you’ve come to the right place.
Inside this tome, we will examine Hellenistic Greece in a way that brings the people to life and puts their decisions up for debate, even two thousand years later. If you’ve ever wondered any of the following, then this audiobook was made for you:
- Did Cleopatra really marry her brother?
- What happened to Alexander’s far-reaching empire after his death?
- Why would Hannibal choose elephants for battle?
- Where were the mighty Spartans when Rome came knocking?
- Can a culture so old really have anything interesting to teach us?
- Can anyone sort out all of these rulers and their numbers in a way that is easy to follow?
You are at the starting line of a great adventure. Settle in and prepare for war, love, violence, and science in an exciting ancient world.

Useful overview of the period
This is an interesting overview of the period. It is spoilt by the narrator's inability to pronounce most vowels correctly = for example, "Gallic" sounds like "garlic"; numerous other examples of strange pronunciations exist. Perhaps more worryingly, despite my view that this is a good introduction, I spotted one glaring factual error, which suggests there could be others. The Antikythera Mechanism was, according to the author, created by someone called Anitkythera: Antikythera is the island off which the wreck containing the mechanism was found.
