[@Maus_Indahaus]

I really hope that you continue with the history of ancient Greece following Peloponnesian war, as there were many interesting battles and events in the 4th century BC

[@iexist3919]

The Sicilian Expedition may have been the turning point, but the war in the Hellespont was the reason why the Athenians lost. Most Athenian food supplies came through the Hellespont, and being unable to compete with Persian gold, Athens would become seriously weakened. It’s unfortunately Thucydides died before he could write about the final and most crucial stage of the war, but I’m glad you guys covered it!

[@ElBandito]

Soldiers cannot fight without food. Which is why experts talk logistics.

[@andraenicholson3557]

"...after a signal was sent. Possibly a walking Egyptian dance move by the Eretian contingent." Ok, this caught me off guard😂.

[@Maverick0451]

Brilliant coverage of one of the most important and iconic campaigns in all of history!! Thank you as always for the marvelous content!!

[@DefeatedRoyalist]

Pharabazus II, greatest Persian tactician of the 5th century. A Mardonius reborn, honorable and intelligent. Man served the King of Kings up into his 70’s. His grandson served under Memnon of Rhodes regularly sacking Macedonian naval power during Alexander’s invasion. His grandson would later serve in the successor wars successfully beating Hellenistic cavalry with his Iranic proto-cataphracts. Edit: this video seemed to gloss over the probable use of Persian cavalry to check the Athenian pursuit after the route. Thus, enabling the bulk of the Lacedaemonians to escape the battle.

[@viraloracle5151]

the proto cataprhacts of achaemanid persia are often overlooked, many believed they first appeared during parthian dynasty in Iran but they were already widely used in achaemanid persian dynasty of Iran.

Ancient Greece is definitely my favorite era EVER in history. Y’all did a fine job @KingsandGenerals

[@firestorm1088]

Alcibiades’ life was one of the craziest stories in history. He pushed for the Sicilian expedition, then got removed from command for knocking the dicks off statues. He defected to Sparta, then cucked the Spartan king and defected again to Persia. Orchestrated multiple coups in Athens, and despite all of that, ultimately was welcomed back to Athens as a prodigal son.

[@KTA1sVidsandFacts]

Definitely was a turning point when Persia just entered and said "It's Persia time!"

Do not forget that the most precious book for the Greco-Romans, the Iliad, starts with the dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon that "led many a man to the jaws of Hades". Civil strife is written in the Greco-Roman dna.

[@windwaker8985]

I think the two civilizations are rather different. The romans didn't had that much civil wars, until they became a superpower and the power of generals became much greater than that of the senate.

[@TGeoMin]

@@windwaker8985 When the Romans were pure Romans had no civil wars. When they became GrecoRomans at around the time of Ceasar (as a necessity to keep their 50% Greek empire working) they began the civil wars. I personally believe that the transition from Republic to Empire with god-emperors was a de facto Hellenization of the Romans. They had to become Hellenistic kings in order to keep that massive engine running.

[@TGeoMin]

@@windwaker8985 Fun fact: Ceasar was more Hellenised than Roman. He used to speak more Greek than latin.

[@tomriley5790]

The Spartans allying with the Persians really was treasonous... doesn't say much about the Spartan's famed military prowess.

[@Kimmerios-l5u]

Αctually one of the most important characteristics of the Spartans was that they had a very pragmatic approach to things,although taking persian gold was a step too far.

[@KaiHung-wv3ul]

So much for Spartan "honor", huh. Though tbf Athens isn't exactly better.

[@sanmames8203]

Spartans fight against persia in Greco Persians Wars, allied with them against Athenians (peloponnesian war) , conquer them (20 later). On the contrary, Athenias fight Persians in Greco-Persian and peloponnesian wars, and allied with them against Sparta 20 years later (Corinthian war)

[@Icebassh]

Talk about Ancient Drama, this period was so chaotic and its really genius how you're able to provide a cohesive narrative in an entertaining manner. I have to say Alcibiades is a master 3D Chess player, I'm fully convinced he mastered the catastrophe in Syracuse and conveniently 'disappeared' just so he can appear in time and save the day (its fun to think of it that way at least) but seriously he's an inspiration as a political strategist.

[@beachboy0505]

[@DesertAres]

A good outline of a very complicated ongoing, bloodbath, changing allies, and who's got the Persian gold today? Only one comment on the map (I'm a retired Cartographer), Byzantium should be Byzantion at this stage. The latin 'ium' came much later. The Romans were fighting everybody in Italy north, south and east and had no time to sniff around the Hellespont.

[@JamesSarantidis]

Well, it's not just a Greek thing. Rivaling factions uniting against a foreign enemy is a common trope throughout history, while Athens and Sparta at the time had almost the same animosity with each other as with Persia (So, it is not any more Silly than modern States in an Alliance squabbling for their own gains). It is also a common component of frontism ideology, uniting anyone against a common enemy, abused by wanna-be tyrants and autocrats. "Well I would love to share my power, but right now we have to fight against X, so you must allow me at the top."

As a greek,i am so sad that Athens and Spartans made wars.. Now America USA(Athens) and Russia(Spartans) are making wars each other. Russians have stronger infantry and vehicles,lower navy(such as Spartans).They haven't also so more allies(such as ancient Spartans). From the other side,Athens was the boss country of Delian Alliance (USA are the Boss of NATO) and USA have bigger navy and lower infantry-tanks than Russia.USA also have more allies than Russia,such as the ancient spartans.
