Graham Wrightson joins us to talk all about the fighting career of Antiochus the Great and his battles against Rome.
Liv reads Lucian’s True History, translated by Francis Hickes. In a satirical novel of epic proportions, on the Island of the Blessed Lucian meets (and gossips about) all the most famous men of myth and history. Then, who’s in Tartarus anyway? This is not a standard narrative story episode, it’s a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don’t have “Liv Reads…” in the title!
