Infographics galore!

I love infographics, and I came across this one the other day.  Nice little representation of some battles throughout history, including one we've talked about - the Battle of Marathon. It's a large image, so make sure to click on the "Read more" link!

Or you could go straight to the source website instead!

40 - Philip II

"Personally I am surprised that none of you, Athenians, is distressed and angry to find that at the beginning of the war our aim was to punish Philip, but at the end it is to escape injury at his hands. But surely it is obvious that he will not stop, unless someone stops him. And is that what we are to wait for? Do you fancy that all is well, if you dispatch an unmanned fleet and the vague hope of some deliverer?"
-Demosthenes, 4th Philippic 

Nobody said you have to be a looker to run a kingdom!

You can't talk about Alexander without talking about his dad, Philip II! Without him Macedon wouldn't have all the institutions and military doohickeys that let Alex pretty much go straight to work on the Persians. After this one there's just two more episodes before we say goodbye to the Greeks!

39 - Attack of the Philosophers!

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

- Aristotle

If you haven't read the Action Philosophers comic series, well then I say you there! I sit in judgment of you.

It took a lot of self control to not include war, fighting, or any form of soldiers with pointy objects trying to poke other soldiers with pointy objects in this episode! Don't you start falling asleep on me, I ASSURE you it's interesting! And for you history sticklers out there, I'm gonna be up front with you. I'm leaving out the Corinthian War and the March of the 10,000. Why? Because how much carnage do you want in these podcasts!? 

...

Ok but seriously next time we get back to the smashy smashy with Macedon. And if I'm correct with my schedule, we only have 3 more episodes until we leave Ancient Greece! WHOA! Hope you're excited about the beginning of the end!
