Spartan History Podcast - 011. A Heroes Ending

011. A Heroes Ending

08/02/20 • 46 min

Welcome back to Spartan History Podcast, this will be part 2 of my series on the Bronze age collapse, and the final episode set in the Heroic/Bronze period.

After having established all of the major players in the eastern Mediterranean region in the previous episode, it's time to discover the fate of Homer's Achaean, aka the Mycenaean's.

I expound upon the various ills besetting their society and set the seen for what I believe to be a mass migration event at the close of the age. Hopefully, building a strong case for the Greeks participation in the Sea people events of the period.

Hope you all enjoy and take care.

Previous Episode

010. A Storm on the Horizon

Welcome back to Spartan History Podcast, in this months episode we'll start a two part investigation into the Bronze age collapse of eastern Mediterranean civilisation.

So in this, the first part, the scene for collapse will be set. Focusing on the empires and city-states that were within the Mycenaean sphere of influence to understand the various factors at play during this period of turmoil.

The mysterious sea people are central to my narrative and as I work through the source material I'll pay particular attention to the goings on of popular histories scapegoats.

I finish by leaving the final piece of the puzzle up in the air, the fate of the Mycenaean's. They will be the entirety of my focus for part 2.

Hope you all enjoy and take care.

012. Jason and the Golden Fleece. Part 1

EPISODE 12, JASON AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE PART 1.

Welcome back to Spartan History Podcast, it's an honour to be able to present, as promised, the 1st of what will be a 4 part retelling of the Jason and the Golden Fleece myth.

The masterpiece that is Apollonius of Rhodes' work, the Argonautica, starts with the eponymous heroes departure to Colchis to retrieve the fleece. Covering the journey to, the completing of and the returning from 'the quest'. It makes many assumptions of the contemporary audience who would have been well versed in the fundamentals of the tale to begin with.

Over the next 4 parts I'll be making no such assumptions, and will look to embellish and embroider the narrative to give a more high resolution view of the finer details.

I'll start part 1 right at the start! Understanding what on earth a golden fleece is even doing in Colchis. From there we'll eventually catch up to Apollonius' storyline and finish where his book 1 finishes. With the heroes arrival at the Bosphorus .

Hope you all enjoy and take care.
