Plutarch's Greeks and Romans Podcast

We'd love to hear from you

Lysander's importance to history begins when he is appointed as admiral of the Spartan fleet in 407 BC.   At this point Athens's navy has experienced a resurgence with the return of Alcibiades.

Lysander takes command of the Spartan fleet at Ephesus and resolves to do what it takes to make it a match for the Athenian navy. 

A tall order - is Lysander up for the challenge?
