Från romerska pestvågor till spanska sjukan har samhällen reagerat, förändrats och ibland kollapsat under trycket från smittsamma sjukdomar. Pandemier har satt djupa spår i allt från demografi och ekonomi till krig, religion, vetenskap och politik.Den mest ikoniska pandemin i europeisk historia är digerdöden, som svepte över Europa mellan 1347 och 1352. Länge antogs att upp till hälften av Europas befolkning – cirka 50 miljoner människor – dog i pesten. Men ny forskning visar att delar av Centraleuropa och Östeuropa fortfarande hade växande jordbruk efter 1350.Detta är det första av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu om pandemier, där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, professor i historia, särskilt historisk geografi, vid Stockholms universitet, om hur farsoter har påverkat samhällen genom tiderna – från medeltidens pest till spanska sjukan.Pandemier tenderar att påskynda redan pågående trender – som urbanisering, migration eller maktförskjutningar – snarare än att skapa helt nya utvecklingslinjer. De fungerar också gång på gång som påminnelser om mänsklighetens sårbarhet och vikten av att bygga robusta samhällsstrukturer.Pandemiernas historia i Europa inleds med den så kallade atenska pesten. Under Peloponnesiska kriget (431–404 f.Kr.) förlorade Aten uppåt hälften av sin befolkning i en farsot som snabbt spreds i den tättbefolkade staden. Katastrofen underminerade det politiska ledarskapet och försvagade Atens ställning i kriget mot Sparta.Romarriket drabbades av två stora epidemier under kejsartiden: den antoninska pesten (165–180 e.Kr.) och den cyprianska pesten (249–262 e.Kr.). Båda tros ha orsakats av smittkoppor. Effekterna var förödande: metallproduktionen minskade, vilket har dokumenterats genom isborrkärnor från glaciärer, och ett urholkat skatteunderlag försvårade försvaret av rikets gränser. Cyprianska pesten har till och med beskrivits som början till slutet för Västrom.År 541 slog den justinianska pesten till – den första pandemin som med säkerhet kopplats till pestbakterien Yersinia pestis. DNA-analyser har i modern tid bekräftat bakterien i massgravar. Pesten orsakade omfattande avfolkning kring Medelhavet och ledde till minskad handel och återförskogning. I kombination med kraftiga vulkanutbrott under 530-talet, som orsakade global nedkylning, blev konsekvenserna förödande för samhällena i södra Europa och delar av Asien.Digerdöden (1347–1352) sägs ha utplånat upp till hälften av Europas befolkning. Men ny forskning, särskilt baserad på pollenanalyser och arkeologi, nyanserar denna bild. I en omfattande studie av 1 634 pollenprover från hela Europa har forskare visat att dödligheten varierade kraftigt regionalt. Medan västra Europa – bland annat Italien, Frankrike och Skandinavien – drabbades hårt, fortsatte befolkningen att växa i stora delar av Central- och Östeuropa.Bild: Dödens triumf (ca. 1562) av Pieter Brueghel den äldre visar en apokalyptisk scen där döden härjar obarmhärtigt över människan. Målningen ingår i Museo del Prados samling.

Zelenobílé barvy, šašek v kostýmu klokana, na tribuně Antonín Panenka, za brankou tramvajová refýž. Nyní z půlky rozbořený stadion a vážný problém v tabulce. Podcast MVP vsadil na speciální díl o kultovním klubu Bohemians.„Situace je špatná, určitě ne bezradná,“ reagoval bývalý záložník Josef Jindřišek, který v klubu dlouhé roky kapitánoval. Pro současnou generaci fanoušků se stal ikonou. Držákem, který vydržel kopat ligu do čtyřiačtyřiceti let a dvou měsíců. Při svém posledním utkání, letos v květnu, navíc skóroval. V historických kronikách nenajdete staršího střelce, ani staršího hráče: „Já byl vždycky příroďák. Když mi trenéři chtěli dát volno, abych si oddechl, jen mě namíchli: Já chci přece hrát!“Pokud by měla bídná forma pokračovat i na jaře, bude klubu s klokanem ve znaku reálně hrozit sestup. Byť šéfové o víkendu slavnostně poklepali na základní kámen arény, která má na místě té stávající u potůčku Botič vyrůst do roku 2030. Právě tohoto stadionu se mohl Jindřišek stát stavbyvedoucí a správce, jenže podmínky, které mu majitel Dariusz Jakubowicz v létě nabízel považoval za nedůstojné. Raději chtěl mít klid.Co si Josef Jindřišek myslí o mladých hráčích, jaké bylo vyrůstat s matkou samoživitelkou a šesti sourozenci? V MVP jsme také ocenili podzimní finiš Slavie, která doma vládne bez porážky. Zamysleli jsme se, proč Sparta pořád nevyhrává. Ve čtvrtek pak si Letenští a Olomouc střihnou svá poslední utkání v Konferenční lize, pak český fotbal usne. Nikoli však podcast MVP, který čeká ještě příští úterý poslední díl roku 2025. Liga bude pokračovat na přelomu ledna a února.---Fotbal ze všech možných i nemožných úhlů pohledu. MVP jsou bývalí fotbaloví profesionálové Karel Tvaroh, Antonín Rosa, Tomáš Kučera a zkušený novinář Jan Palička, šéf sportovní rubriky Seznam Zpráv.

The young leaders of Thebes retook their city from Sparta, but aimed for more. Nearby Athens had recovered much of the strength that enabled them to rule a Mediterranean empire.  It is at this stage where our 3 powerful city states all aim for supremacy at the same time. Power seeks power, and advantageous alliances were to be forged with kingdoms to the north and east. But the rulers of those kingdoms had plans of their own. We'll see a new generation of heroes emerge whose deeds live on 2400 years later. They had to contend with the likes of Agesilaus and Artaxerxes, the kings of Sparta and Persia who, like Walder Frey, stubbornly refused to die.HoW Audience Survey - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/howsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shirts & Stickers -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

SC Heerenveen deed uitstekende zaken met een 0-3 zege op Sparta. De ploeg van Robin Veldman versloeg een directe concurrent, staat weer in het linkerrijtje van de eredivisie en tankte vertrouwen voor de slotduels van 2025. Met oud-speler Geert Arend Roorda bespreekt LC-verslaggever Sander de Vries het duel in Rotterdam. Conclusie? De verschillen waren klein, maar toch beleefde SC Heerenveen uiteindelijk een zorgeloze middag op het Kasteel. En dat is best wennen, want de ploeg maakt het zichzelf vaak onnodig lastig. Verder wordt er vooruitgeblikt op de laatste voetbalweek van 2025. Waar liggen de kansen voor Heerenveen, te beginnen komende woensdag tegen Feyenoord? Voor Roorda zijn het eveneens drukke dagen. Met zijn club Excelsior Maassluis speelt hij voor de beker tegen Ajax. *Vragen voor in de podcast? Mail naar: sander.devries@lc.nl *SC Heerenveen op de voet volgen?

Op 24 april 2022 stapte Henk Fraser op bij Sparta, op dat moment hekkensluiter van de Eredivisie met 25 punten. Concurrenten PEC Zwolle en Willem II stonden toen op 26 punten, maar met nog vier wedstrijden te gaan zag het er niet goed uit voor de club ui Spangen. Maurice Steijn stapte eerder in, het was al bekend dat hij het seizoen daarna trainer werd van Sparta, maar met nog vier wedstrijden te gaan nam hij het roer over. Een bijna onmogelijk opdracht stond hem te wachten, maar toch flikte hij het, in zijn eerste wedstrijd werd nog gelijkgespeeld tegen AZ, maar daarna volgde drie wedstrijden in zeven dagen. Twee waren er al gewonnen, in de laatste speelronde moest Sparta op bezoek bij Heracles, en daar voltrok zich een wonder… In de podcast verwijzen Bart en Mart naar:De samenvatting van Heracles - Sparta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0Xd2QT7qgsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Giuseppe Zqnetto"Polemos"La guerra in GreciaLaterza Editoriwww.laterza.it«Cantami, o Diva, del Pelide Achille / l'ira funesta…»: chi non ricorda il celebre incipit dell'Iliade? Dal suo primo verso, il capolavoro omerico ci parla di guerra. Ma non c'è solo l'epopea di Troia, tutta la storia ellenica è una sequenza quasi ininterrotta di conflitti: Maratona, Salamina, le Termopili...Il modo in cui la Grecia guardava alla guerra offre uno sguardo originale sulla sua civiltà e la sua eredità.Nella civiltà delle poleis, ogni generazione mandava soldati a combattere e morire; ogni generazione era testimone di devastazioni e saccheggi. Insomma, la guerra per i Greci faceva parte della ‘normalità' della vita. È naturale, dunque, che fosse una presenza forte del discorso pubblico, ma anche dell'immaginario, delle espressioni artistiche e del sistema di valori. Ma che rapporto avevano con la guerra gli antichi Greci? Come vivevano questa ‘normalità'? Esistevano voci che si schieravano contro questa pratica, invocando altre vie di superamento dei conflitti? Il libro – facendo tesoro della storiografia ma anche delle voci altissime della letteratura, dall'epica alla tragedia – ricostruisce i tanti aspetti della guerra: dalla sua dimensione pratica e quotidiana alle tecniche militari, dal modo di guardare al nemico al peso degli imperialismi.Giuseppe Zanetto insegna Letteratura teatrale della Grecia antica presso l'Università degli Studi di Milano. I suoi interessi principali sono il teatro attico e il romanzo greco. Tra i suoi lavori, l'edizione commentata degli Uccelli di Aristofane, l'edizione del Reso attribuito a Euripide, le traduzioni commentate del Ciclope di Euripide e del Gorgia di Platone e la traduzione degli Acarnesi di Aristofane. È coautore del Lessico dei romanzieri greci e curatore della raccolta Il romanzo antico. Ha pubblicato saggi che illustrano la perenne attualità della cultura greca, tra cui Siamo tutti greci e Miti di ieri, storie di oggi, il libro di viaggi Un mare di poeti e di eroi. Luoghi, storie e miti dell'Egeo, una riscrittura dell'Iliade che dà spazio alla voce dei vinti e il volume Ettore e Andromaca (nella collana “Amori mitici” del“Corriere della Sera”).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Victory didn't end the story; it changed the rules. After Mycale and Plataea, the Persian threat receded, the Aegean opened, and a vacuum pulled Athens, Sparta, and Persia into a new contest—one fought with fleets, diplomacy, and competing visions of security. We walk through the decade that followed 479 BC to show how shattered empires, cautious land powers, and ambitious sea powers redrew the map of Greek politics.We unpack Persia's strategic shift from invasion to consolidation: naval losses that invited Ionian revolts, satraps scrambling to stabilize Lydia and the Hellespont, and a measured pivot to subsidies and envoys that exploited Greek divisions. On the mainland, we contrast Sparta's deliberate restraint—defending the Peloponnese, avoiding distant obligations, and prioritizing social stability—with Athens' awakening to maritime destiny. The Athenian fleet becomes more than defense; it becomes identity, food security, and leverage, soon anchored by the Piraeus and the Long Walls.At the heart of the story sits the Ionian question: who protects the liberated cities when Persian garrisons fall away? Athens answers with ships and treaties that coalesce into the Delian League—a standing alliance promising collective security while granting Athens command of contributions and strategy. We explore how the League funds naval expansion, extends operations to Cyprus and the Hellespont, and slowly turns cooperation into hegemony. Along the way, we track the emerging fault line with Sparta, as allied poleis navigate between land hegemony and sea hegemony, and Persia watches for fractures to widen.By the end, freedom has returned to the Aegean, but unity has not. That paradox—liberation without consensus—sets the foundations for the classical Greek order, Athenian naval supremacy, and the rivalries that will define the fifth century. If power abhors a vacuum, this decade shows who rushed in, why they moved, and how their choices reshaped the world. Subscribe, share, and tell us: which decision mattered most—the Spartan retreat, the Athenian fleet, or Persia's long game?Support the show

Matt McPherson is an inventor, entrepreneur, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ whose companies have reshaped two industries, archery and high-end guitar manufacturing. As the founder of Mathews Archery, one of the most respected names in hunting and bow technology, and McPherson Guitars, known for their unique design and pristine tone, Matt has spent decades building world-class products from the woods of Sparta, Wisconsin. But his bigger mission? Funding global ministry and sharing the Gospel with clarity and creativity. In this milestone 300th episode of The Wow Factor, Brad reconnects with his longtime friend Matt McPherson for a powerful conversation about calling, hearing from God, and stewarding business as a tool for impact. Matt shares how a childhood love for archery led to launching Mathews Archery, and how a prophetic word in his early 20s reshaped his view of work and ministry forever. They explore the story behind his breakthrough product Lost Camo, the founding of The Salvation Poem Foundation, and the journey to producing Light of the World, a full-length animated film on the life of Jesus. From financial risk during COVID shutdowns to watching a God-sized vision unfold on screen, Matt's story is full of practical faith, spiritual listening, and a relentless pursuit of simplicity—in both business and belief. "I heard God say, 'I'm going to prosper you in business so you can be self-sufficient in ministry.'"  - Matt McPherson "Let's make our homes an uncomfortable place for the enemy to hang out."  - Matt McPherson "The Gospel is simple: We broke it. God fixed it through Christ. And now we choose to receive it." - Matt McPherson This Week on The Wow Factor: How a childhood moment with a toy bow shaped Matt's entire future The prophetic word that redirected Matt's dreams and defined his mission Why Matt believes engineers are made to simplify—and how that applies to faith Founding Mathews Archery in Wisconsin and building a global brand How a request for camouflage sparked the creation of Lost Camo Practical stories of hearing from God—down to camera purchases and Walmart trips How Matt handled a full company shutdown during COVID without layoffs The surprising result: 2020 became Mathews' most profitable year ever What it means to trust God's timing (and not get ahead of Him) The backstory behind The Salvation Poem—and its reach to over 1 billion people Producing Light of the World: A $30M animated film sharing the story of Jesus How the movie distills the entire Gospel into one clear, beautiful arc Why Matt refuses to overcomplicate the message of Jesus The joy of giving, the power of obedience, and the impact of business-led ministry Matt McPherson's Word of Wisdom: If I'm going to eat the food and take up the space, I want to give back more than I take.

In this Episode we revisit the Erika and Kat investigation.  They live in Sparta.  We play EVP's we caught on Site and talk about that investigation.  This house had a wide range of activity.  We saw shadow figures heard voices and more.  

In ancient Greece, women played important roles in their families and communities. They were in charge of managing the household and taking care of children. Some women, like those in Sparta, even received physical training and could own property. In Athens, women were expected to stay at home, but they still influenced society through their family connections. There were also famous women like Sappho, a great poet, whose works are still read today. These women helped shape the culture and traditions of ancient Greece in many ways.

Whither America? It's the question that the Swedish writer Johan Norberg examines in both a recent Washington Post op-ed as well as his new book, Peak Human. What we can learn from history's great civilizations, Norberg argues, is that they decline when they turn inward, away from both the outside world and innovation. “All Sparta, no Athens”, as he puts it. So what does that tell us not only about Trump's America but also Putin's Russia and Xi's China? And what should we make of Europe, which is neither Sparta nor Athens? And when compared with China, Russia and Europe, Norberg's vision of the American future seems relatively sunny. So maybe, with or without MAGA, the 21st century really will be the American century. * MAGA doesn't fit any traditional conservative or liberal framework. It's a radical ideology built around a strongman who has no patience for democratic process, rule of law, or compromise—precisely the institutions that classical liberalism and genuine conservatism have always sought to protect.* Declining empires are the most dangerous. Russia is “all Sparta, no Athens”—a society that builds barracks rather than innovation, extracts resources rather than creates wealth, and fears any neighboring democracy that might give its own people ideas. Putin may sense this is his last chance to rearrange the world order.* China's split personality may doom its long-term prospects. Deng Xiaoping borrowed from Athens—openness, experimentation, “crossing the river by feeling the stones.” Xi Jinping has reverted to Sparta—centralized control that can build electric vehicle factories fast but stifles the strange surprises that drive real innovation.* America's saving grace may be its constitutional limits. The courts are the only branch doing their job right now, striking down unconstitutional overreach one case at a time. Republicans know there's life after Trump—and after two centuries of championing the Constitution, they can't simply throw it aside.* Europe is Rome without the military power. The EU's great idea—an open continent that experiments with different solutions—is undermined by a Mandarin class in Brussels that insists on standardizing everything. That's why great European startups keep moving to California.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Chelsea Dartez, the creative force behind Cookeville Lifestyle Magazine, joins Ben Rodgers to share her incredible journey—starting with college life and karaoke shifts in a little Nashville alleyway, to discovering through gigs in Texas that the music industry wasn't where she belonged. After settling in Cookeville, she used her public relations background to shape the very first layout of the magazine, and she reflects on how far it's come since that early issue. Chelsea talks about building a dedicated team, the challenges of producing a completely free community-focused publication, and her plans to expand into Sparta, Livingston, and even a new Crossville edition under her umbrella. With a mission to highlight everyday people doing extraordinary things, she opens up about earning the trust of the community as an outsider and shares exciting details about the digital platform she's getting ready to launch—so even more readers can stay connected to the good happening right here at home.

Slovenský futbalový tréner Adrián Guľa otvorene prehovoril o svojej prvej sezóne v lotyšskom tíme FC Riga, kde hneď v úvodnom ročníku doviedol klub po štyroch rokoch k vytúženému majstrovskému titulu. V exkluzívnom rozhovore v podcaste Striedame! na ŠPORT.sk odhalil nielen detaily zo zákulisia úspešnej sezóny, ale aj momenty, keď musel zvažovať svoj odchod.Adrián Guľa neskrýva, že úvod v Rige bol dramatický. Po prvých štyroch zápasoch mal bilanciu 1 výhra, 2 remízy, 1 prehra. „Ešte som nebol ani vybalený. Býval som na akadémii,” priznáva otvorene tréner, ktorý do projektu išiel s jasným poslaním - vyhrať titul alebo odísť.Situácia bola natoľko vyhrotená, že s manažmentom klubu si museli nanovo nastaviť pravidlá spolupráce. „Dostali sme to na hranu a z nej sme sa potom odrazili do pozitívna, ale naozaj to bolo na hrane,” vysvetľuje 50-ročný kouč, ktorý v kluboch ako Plzeň či Dunajská Streda nebol zvyknutý na takýto typ riadenia.Po zvládnutí úvodnej krízy prišla nevídaná dominancia. Riga zaznamenala 15 víťazstiev po sebe a celkovo 31 zápasov bez prehry. Ako sa to podarilo? Adrián Guľa odhalil svoju filozofiu budovania tímu: „Vnímam hráčov ako ľudí, ako partnerov. Disciplína, charakter a dobrá mentalita plus silný team spirit.”Zaujímavou súčasťou rozhovoru je pohľad do fungovania klubu s hráčmi z 10 rôznych národností - od Peru cez Ghanu až po Ukrajinu. „Medzi hráčmi sa rozpráva minimálne tromi jazykmi,” opisuje Adrián Guľa prostredie, kde angličtina, španielčina aj francúzština tvoria každodenný komunikačný mix.Šokujúcim odhalením je finančné nastavenie klubu: „Pätnásť víťazstiev za sebou a jednoducho nula. Čistá nula.” Prémie boli viazané výlučne na konečný výsledok - zisk majstrovského titulu.Tréner sa venoval aj neúspešnému pokusu prebojovať sa do skupinovej fázy európskych pohárov, kde Rigu vyradila pražská Sparta. Zároveň načrtol víziu klubu do budúcnosti a hovoril aj o tom, čo by ho presvedčilo na odchod z Lotyšska.V rozhovore Adrián Guľa neskrýval ani emócie po nedávnom vysokom debakli slovenskej reprezentácie, v ktorej s hráčmi má osobné vzťahy z predchádzajúcich pôsobení.Celý rozhovor prináša úprimný pohľad na život trénera v zahraničí, fungovanie moderného futbalového klubu pod vedením ruského investora Sergeja Lomakina a detaily z prostredia lotyšskej ligy, o ktorej sa na Slovensku vie len málo.

Česká repre vyhraje 6:0, ale největší téma není fotbal - je to děkovačka v Olomouci.

The tale of three city states continues as Sparta maintains their seizure of Thebes while Athens looks to reclaim their maritime dominance. Persia has war on many fronts and ever-worsening palace intrigue, making their interference or lack thereof uncertain. While the old kings Agesilaus and Artaxerxes live on, a new generation of leaders, warriors, orators and innovators are emerging throughout Greece. The continuing stories of Chabrias, Parysatis, Iphicrates and Tirabazus - featuring their best ASOIAF counterparts - plus new characters added to the mix.HoW Audience Survey - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/howsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shirts & Stickers -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

"If it is gone, human nature tells you someone in power is not going to voluntarily give that power up." Trey answers a follow-up question about whether a future Senate could ever reinstate a filibuster and explains why, in practice, once the 60-vote rule is gone it is unlikely to return. He uses history, Senate precedent, and even a lesson from Sparta to show how the filibuster serves as both a shield and a limit on majority power. Trey also recommends a favorite myth-inspired novel and offers practical advice for frustrated sports fans navigating YouTube TV's carriage dispute. Learn more about your ad choices.

A continent-spanning empire bore down on a patchwork of rival city-states—and out of that pressure, a people discovered themselves. We follow the Greek victories over Persia from raw survival to a moral origin story, showing how memory, art, and ritual transformed urgent alliance into a lasting idea: Hellenic freedom.We start with the fragile coalition that met the Persian advance at Salamis and Plataea, then uncover how the meaning of those battles grew in the retelling. Simonides' epigrams, Pindar's odes, and Herodotus' sweeping narrative forged a panhellenic lens through which courage, divine favor, and self-rule became the Greek signature. Monuments like the Serpent Column at Delphi and offerings at Olympia turned sanctuaries into archives of unity, while annual rites at Plataea and Salamis taught that freedom must be renewed, not assumed.Athens made the memory visible. Rising from a burned Acropolis, the city reframed myth as politics on the Parthenon, casting Greeks versus Amazons and gods versus giants as a code for order resisting tyranny. At the same time, naval power rewired society. Themistocles' triremes elevated the rowers—the thetes—and widened democratic voice, seeding the Delian League and a new maritime identity. That shift sharpened the contrast with Sparta's land-first conservatism, foreshadowing rivalry even as the ideal of Hellenic liberty took root.We connect these threads to later thinkers and leaders. Thucydides uses the Persian War as a baseline of necessary unity. Plato and Isocrates hold it up as a mirror for civic virtue. Alexander taps its emotion to justify conquest. Across centuries, the wars became sacred history and a durable myth: free citizens against imperial despotism, reason over hubris. Listen for a richer view of how battles end but stories begin—and how those stories still guide debates on power, identity, and the price of freedom.

The Peloponnesian War is considered one of the most famous wars of the ancient world not only because it was a massive and devastating conflict that reshaped the Greek world, but also because its thorough documentation by the historian Thucydides transformed how we understand history and war. On the face of it, the Peloponnesian War, fought over 2000 years ago in a corner of the Mediterranean, shouldn’t have made history. While the war was quite long, lasting 27 years, and oftentimes brutal, the two major parties, Athens and Sparta, were politically irrelevant within a century of the war’s conclusion. Plus the war’s cause is murky and takes a detailed understanding of Greek’s chaotic political history. And yet, it was this conflict which would be remembered for centuries. As the subject of a detailed history by Thucydides, an Athenian war general and historian, the story of the Peloponnesian War remains essential reading for politicians, historians, and students. Today’s guest is Polly Low, who authored part of a new translation of The History of the Peloponnesian War. The translation depicts the events of the war between Athens and Sparta that began in 431 BC and would continue until 404, a conflict that embroiled not only mainland Greece but Greek states from the eastern Mediterranean and as far west as Italy and Sicily.

Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and their neighbors fought a seemingly endless series of civil wars worthy of Westeros. But just like the War of Five Kings, Greece should have been more concerned with uniting against a greater threat massing to the North - one capable of conquering or enslaving them all. This is a grand story of deeds as infamous as the Red Wedding, as heroically selfless as Dunk or Brienne, and as disturbing as the worst Targaryen incest or Bolton torture.HoW Audience Survey - ⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/howsurvey⁠⁠⁠Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shirts & Stickers -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
