Chronicles of Ancient Greece

Ben Arndt

Welcome to Chronicles of Ancient Greece, the podcast where we dive into the fascinating, bloody, and unpredictable world of the Mediterranean. From the rise and fall of city-states to the gods and heroes who shaped the world, we explore both the myths and real events that defined the Western world, including the Trojan War, Alexander the Great, or the rise of great philosophers.

    15 - Oh my God(s)

    Why did the Greeks actually have Gods? What purpose did they serve and what social forces did they represent?

    14 - What's in the box?

    The Greek mythical universe is created and the Olympians are firmly in control. Which means it is now time for Zeus to *checks notes* release all possible evils on humanity. Great.

    13 - What came before before

    It's been a long time coming but it has finally arrived: Let's create a universe! Spoiler: It's Chaos at first (and later as well) Follow on Bluesky:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/historypodcaster.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join on Reddit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientGreecePodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listen on Youtube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc3o4BazGqXBkb7l8R069PA⁠⁠ E-Mail us: chroniclesofancientgreece@gmail.com

    12 - Owl City

    Well, the discussion of Sparta was short and to the point, the discussion of Athens ... will not be short or to the point. But it will feature Poseidon taking things personally, so there's that!

    11 - Is this Sparta?

    Why yes, yes, THIS IS SPARTA. At least a very short look at it. We're not falling down a bottomless hole so to speak.

    10 - The Alpha and the Omega

    When a Phoenician prince plants dragon teeth and grows an army, the last thing you expect is an alphabet—but welcome to ancient Greece.

    09 - Magna Graecia

    This time, we're going on an adventure! Though not to recapture a mountain or destroy some jewellery. We're founding colonies all over the Mediterranean, yay! Also: There may be some small mistakes in the audio. I recorded it, listened to it, and did not have the time to re-record, so I'm begging you to be tolerant.

    08 - Sound of da Polis

    This week, the Greeks are back in town. Literally, as they wake from their long, Dark Ages-slumber, they come up with a whole new set of ideas, materials to fight with (Spoiler alert: Iron!) and a new form of community. The Polis! And yes, this episode title is my favourite dad joke ever.
