Podcasts about Alexander the Great

What if the version of the Old Testament most commonly quoted by the New Testament writers is one that most Christians have never read? In this study, we explore the Septuagint (LXX)—the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that was widely used throughout the world of Jesus, the Apostles, and the early Church.You'll discover how the Septuagint came to be, why it became so influential, and several places where Jesus appears to quote directly from it. We'll also discuss common objections, the relationship between the Septuagint and the Hebrew Bible, the Apocrypha, and practical ways you can begin reading the LXX for yourself.Whether you're interested in biblical history, textual studies, Bible translations, or the world of the New Testament, this video will help you better understand the Scriptures that shaped the language and thought of the Apostolic era.

How did a young king from a small northern Greek kingdom become one of history's most influential figures and what might have happened if he had lived another twenty years?

Between the Old and New Testaments was a period of about 400 years, often called the Silent Years. Why? Because during this time between Malachi and Matthew, there were no new Scriptural writings given. However, was God entirely silent? I'll say no. There was actually quite a bit of info written during this time; it was just told to us in advance. In fact, there was one really significant world ruler who emerged on the scene during the intertestamental period, and we've all heard about him: Alexander the Great. This man was put into leadership at 20; he conquered virtually all of the known world for Greece by the time he reached the age of 30. Which has always kind of given me a complex. Like, he did all that in his 20s, and I'm over here learning Fortnite dances. If you're 27 years old and you haven't conquered any nations yet- what are you even doing with your life? Right? Alexander the Great actually made quite a name for himself at a young age. And then he quite suddenly and tragically died at the age of 32.But his decade in power reshuffled the landscape of the world. He put an end to the Persians and established the Greek culture, and this had ramifications into the time of the New Testament- which was written in Greek!But as I said, the Bible had already told us about this guy before he even arrived, way back in the Old Testament. And the most fascinating thing of all: Alexander the Great knew it.For real. You'll find out about that today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Alexander the Great is one of the most famous figures in history. Today our guest, Edmund Richardson, takes us back to see him in the year 331 BCE – the remarkable year when Alexander's story transformed from the impressive into the truly spectacular. At the beginning of 331, many of those in Alexander's army might have supposed that it was time to return to Macedon after a successful campaign on the coast of the Mediterranean. Instead, Alexander founded a city in his own name on the northern coast of Egypt, struck out to consult the oracle at Amun, then turned back to meet his great enemy, King Darius of Persia, in one of the greatest battles in history. Gaugamela.  The scenes, characters and storylines in this episode of Travels Through Time all feature in Edmund Richardson's book, Alexander: God, King, Man. Show Notes Scene One: The foundation of Alexandria in Egypt.  Scene Two: Alexander journeys to the oracle of Amun. Scene Three: Alexander's defeat of Darius at Gaugamela. Memento: The Iliad of the Casket. People/Social Presenter: Peter Moore  Guest: Edmund Richardson Producer: Maria Nolan Theme music: Firelight by Minka Partner: ACE Cultural Tours.

Alexander The Great called himself a god, Henry VIII airbrushed his portrait, and Nixon lost a TV debate because he was sweaty. The Cult of Personality is older and more complex than you think.This episode traces the ancient, ridiculous, and terrifyingly effective history of leader worship. We start with Lysander of Sparta getting a festival named after him, swing through Alexander the Great's divine PR campaign, and watch Henry VIII weaponise oil paintings centuries before Instagram existed. Then it's the 1930s, where Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin industrialised the whole thing, while FDR, Churchill, and Gandhi proved democracies weren't immune. We hit the Kennedy vs Nixon debate (RIP Nixon's grey suit), Reagan's Hollywood playbook, Thatcher's 'Iron Lady' persona, and land squarely in the age of memes, algorithms, and wannabe dictators.⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

1. Alexander the Great's Divine Ambition and the Birth of Alexandria Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt began with the brutal siege of Gaza, where he mirrored the mythical wrath of Achilles by dragging the city's governor to his death. Seeking divine legitimacy, Alexander journeyed to the remote Siwa Oasis. There, the Oracle of Zeus Ammon confirmed his status as a god incarnate, a pivotal moment that elevated his identity from Macedonian king to world ruler. Before departing, he founded Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast, envisioning a global commercial and intellectual hub that looked outward toward the sea rather than inland toward the Nile. (1)

7 Life Lessons from Aristotle (Aristotelianism)In this podcast we will be talking about 7 Life Lessons From Aristotle. His philosophy is often referenced as Aristotelianism. So with that in mind, here are 7 important lessons that we can learn from Aristotle -01. Don't run away from your problems02. Try to Find the golden mean03. Have dignity and grace04. Be open to others' points of view05. Have the right friends06. Put truth before everything else07. Maximize your potential through constant learningI hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 7 Life Lessons From Aristotle will add value to your life. Aristotle is a Promethean figure in the history of the world, who lived between 384–322 BC, He is considered "the father” of logic, biology, political science, zoology, embryology, of natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism and even of meteorology. He was first a student of Plato, then, when Plato retired, he left the Academia which Plato founded, and he became the tutor of Alexander The Great, and the two other future kings: Ptolemy and Cassander. He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Unfortunately, only a third of his magnificent work has survived. For example, the  treatises “Physics”, “Metaphysics”, “Nicomachean Ethics”, “Politics”, “On the Soul” and “Poetics”, have influenced more than two millennia of scientists and theologians alike, both fascinated by his ideas.

In this podcast we bring you ​​how to develop a virtuous character from the philosophy of Aristotle. His philosophy is often referenced as Aristotelianism. Aristotle defined virtues as dispositions to choose good actions and passions, informed by moral knowledge of several sorts. For Aristotle, virtues can be intellectual or moral, the intellectual ones are learned by instruction or education, the moral ones are developed by habits. Performing virtuous acts can be motivated by having a practical purpose or by the desire to act in a virtuous way or by both. In this video, we will explore what one might need to develop virtuous character in accordance with Aristotle's Virtue Ethics Theory. The three ways to develop your character are - 01. Adopt a Virtuous Mindset02. Practice Practical Wisdom 03.

A conqueror, a god, or just a man lost in myth?Alexander the Great: the name conjures images of conquest, charisma, and an empire that stretched from Greece to India. But how much of what we “know” is actually true?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by Dr Stephen Harrison, lecturer in Ancient History at Swansea University and author of Alexander: The Lives and Legacies, to rage against the myths that have defined Alexander for over two thousand years.Stephen dismantles the biggest misconceptions about the Macedonian conqueror — from his supposed divine ambitions and romantic legends to the illusion that historians can truly know what drove him. Together, they explore how unreliable ancient sources, political storytelling, and centuries of retelling have turned Alexander into a mythic figure rather than a historical one.This isn't just another tale of military glory — it's a journey through evidence, propaganda, and how history becomes legend.

In this podcast we bring you ​​5 ways to communicate effectively from the philosophy of Aristotle. His philosophy is often referenced as Aristotelianism. Aristotle extensively explored the art of persuasion and the principles underlying successful communication. He distilled his theories into three crucial components: logos, ethos, and pathos. These elements encompass logic, credibility, and emotion, respectively. According to Aristotle, effective communication requires a harmonious integration of these three modes of persuasion.Furthermore, Aristotle presented a model of communication that offers valuable insights into the communication process itself. Which is why in this video, we bring you five practical ways to communicate effectively, drawing inspiration from the timeless philosophy of Aristotle. ​​5 ways to communicate effectively from the philosophy of Aristotle are - 01. Use Logical Arguments 02. Establish Credibility03. Use Emotional Appeals 04. Use Clear And Concise Language 05.

I just watched a documentary on Alexander the Great and tried to do what I always do — turn world domination into punchlines. From conquering Persia before age 30 to having the confidence of a guy who's never bombed on stage, Alexander might be the original “main character energy.”In this episode of Reality is Optional, I break down the wildest moments from the documentary and try to find the comedy in ancient warfare, ego, legacy, and what happens when you think you're unstoppable.We've got:Alexander tutored by Aristotle; conquering most of the known world before 32; elite military strategy and questionable emotional decisions; what happens when your army is tired but you're still chasing glory; and why every comic secretly thinks they're Alexander at an open mic.History meets stand-up. Empires fall. Jokes rise.#AlexanderTheGreat#HistoryComedy#DocumentaryCommentary#AncientHistory#StandUpPodcast

Topics: Greece (Alexander the Great and his Successor 4 Horns) against Persia, the Seleucid (Greek) little horn Antioch IV Epiphanes (r.175-164), his persecution of the Jews and desecration of the Temple and the abomination of desolation, the pollution of Israel and the Temple for 2300 mornings and evenings, and the first Hanukkah ("dedication") and the cleansing of the Temple.

Roel Konijnendijk and I discuss the army and tactics of the most iconic Greek general.

In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we explore how a historical figure achieved a significant "conquest" in "ancient egypt". This figure not only dominated the region but also declared himself a living god, altering his perceived "divinity original sin 2" within months. This "ancient history" is presented as a compelling "history documentary", inviting viewers to understand the figure's profound impact on the era.

Professor Toby Wilkinson. Alexander the Great besieged Gaza, dragging its governor to death to mimic Achilles and signal his dominance. Seeking divine validation, he trekked to the Siwa Oasis, where priests confirmed him as the son of Zeus Ammon. He later founded Alexandria, orienting Egypt toward the Mediterranean. 1842 EGYPT

PREVIEW PTOLEMY I: THE GENIUS WHO UNIFIED GREEK AND EGYPTIAN CULTURES Colleague Professor Toby Wilkinson. Wilkinson characterizes Ptolemy I as a genius who unified Greek and Egyptian cultures following Alexander the Great's death. By employing diverse advisors and inventing the hybrid god Serapis, Ptolemy Isuccessfully forged a single identity from many strands, effectively implementing an ancient version of e pluribus unum.

Attacking the largest empire the world had ever seen is a huge endeavor at any age, but try doing it at 21. Alexander, fusing the qualities of a Napoleon with a gladiator, aims for immortality. The Persians are just in his way.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1291 Poisoned by the Queen: The Woman Who Killed Alexander the Great In the opulent palace of Babylon, 323 BC, Alexander the Great—conqueror of empires—collapsed after a single cup of wine. Ten days of agony later, the world's most powerful man was dead at 32, his vast empire fracturing into chaos. History calls it fever or fate. But Graham Phillips, in his explosive book Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, proves it was deliberate murder by poison. Using forensic toxicology, eyewitness accounts, and palace intrigue, Phillips exposes a shocking truth: the killer wasn't a rival general, but someone in Alexander's most intimate circle—a woman history has long underestimated. A conspiracy that rewrites the ancient world. GUEST: Graham Phillips is a former BBC radio journalist and bestselling historical investigator who specializes in solving centuries-old mysteries. Known for his rigorous, detective-style approach, he has authored acclaimed books on King Arthur, the Holy Grail, and the Templars. In Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, he collaborated with toxicologists and the Los Angeles Police Department to re-examine ancient sources, uncovering compelling evidence of foul play in the conqueror's death. A frequent contributor to History Channel shows like Ancient Aliens and The UnXplained, Phillips brings forensic precision and narrative flair to the shadows of history.

5/8: The Last Dynasty: Ancient Egypt from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra Hardcover – April 8, 2025 by  Toby Wilkinson  (Author) PTOLEMY MAP OF EGYPT https://www.amazon.com/Last-Dynasty-Ancient-Alexander-Cleopatra/dp/1324052031 Alexander the Great and Cleopatra may be two of the most famous figures from the ancient world, but the Egyptian era bookended by their lives―the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC)―is little known. In The Last Dynasty, New York Times best-selling author Toby Wilkinson unravels the incredible story of this turbulent era, bringing to life three centuries' worth of extraordinary moments and charismatic figures. Macedonian in origin and Greek-speaking, the Ptolemies presided over the final flourishing of pharaonic civilization. Wilkinson describes the extraordinary cultural reach displayed at the height of their power: how they founded new cities, including Alexandria, their great seaside residence and commercial capital; mined gold in the furthest reaches of Nubia; built spectacular new temples that are among the foremost architectural wonders of the Nile Valley; and created a dazzling civilization that produced astonishing works of sculpture, architecture, and literature. Stunningly, he also shows how such expansionist ambitions led to the era's downfall. The Ptolemaic period was a time when ancient Egypt turned its gaze westward―in the process becoming the unwitting handmaid to the inexorable rise of Rome and the consequent loss of Egyptian independence. Featuring a superb blend of first-rate scholarship and evocative narrative history, The Last Dynastyprovides fresh insights into this overlooked period of history and its legacy in shaping the world as we know it.
