UPDATED BIMONTHLY

The History of Ancient Greece Podcast is a deep-dive into one of the most influential and fundamental civilization in world history. Hosted by philhellene Ryan Stitt, THOAG spans over two millennia. From the Bronze Age to the Archaic Period, from Classical Greece to the Hellenistic kingdoms, and finally to the Roman conquest, this podcast will tell the history of a fundamental civilization by bringing to life the fascinating stories of all the ancient sources and scholarly interpretations of the archaeological evidence. And we won't just detail their military and political history, but their society, how the Greeks lived day-to-day, as well as their culture—their art, architecture, philosophy, literature, religion, science, and all the other incredible aspects of the Greek achievement , while situating the Greeks within a multicultural Mediterranean whose peoples influenced and were influenced by one another.

Well researched and entertaining. I wish the narrator spent a bit more time learning how words are pronounced, many Greek terms are painfully wrong. But most factual content is pretty good.

Everything you want to know about Greeks and the larger ancient civilization. This was my great companion in 2018 when I used to do a 192-mile round trip
Lots of good work here

A few episodes in. So much work to do all of this. I’ve watched plenty of lecture series off The Great Courses and the like… and they charge a bunch (of $). Maybe some of those commenting should weight the effort vs. cost a bit more here. Or, maybe, go back to reviewing their latest pizza outing on yelp. Even the PHDs off The Great Courses have their own issues. And, in comparison, the host here is both not pompous and, definitionally, nowhere near as pompous as some of those. Thanks for all this.
This is great
