Aristides was the one true enemy of Themosticles the Great. His story is almost like that of Icarus, seeking to fly higher than his skill or status would allow. Listen as he climbs and falls and somehow - despite dying in charge of the treasury of Greece - does so in poverty.

Nepos explores the life of Chabrias, a man as mercenary as he was brave. He would develop new methods of fighting that caused enemies to flee before him and be brought on by foreign kings to fight their wars. Eventually, he would lose his life as he lived it, choosing to die rather than flee in battle.

Dive in as Cornelius Nepos, famed ancient historian, tackles the life of Miltiades. He recounts the life of the man who managed to defeat Darius the Great at the Battle of Marathon but was then scorned and betrayed by his countryman. How could a man who have achieved so much die with nothing?

In this epic history, find yourself on the eons-old battlefield between Athens and Sparta. Lysander will appear on the scene as a genius commander who changes the course of history. Will he conquer Athens? Or will he himself be conquered?

Though Nepos largely focused on the Greco-Romans in his writings, some men accomplished so much he was willing to break this rule. Datames was a commander of armies, man of the kings of Persia and Egypt, and outwitter of plots. Follow his intricate and exciting life as he attempts to outpace the powerful men around him.

Cimon was forced into prison because of his father's debts, but rescued by his wife. From then, he sought great heights, battling the Persians on land and sea within the same day. His power grew so great he was kicked out of Sparta; would he manage to make a triumphant return?

Pelopidas and Epaminondas' lives are inseperable in history. One's actions would not have been possible without the other by their side. Listen as Pelopidas reclaims his homeland and challenges one of the great Alexanders of history as he seeks his own kleos, or eternal glory.

Hemos imaginado que la presencia corporal de Cristo nos haría dichosos y nos conferiría innumerables dones; pero según nuestro texto, la presencia del Espíritu Santo obrando en la iglesia es más necesaria para la misma. Si se piensa por un momento, la presencia física de Cristo en la tierra, por muy buena que sea para la iglesia, implicaría en nuestra condición actual muchos inconvenientes que se evitan con su presencia por medio del Espíritu Santo.

Now in Season 2! Every Tuesday, tipsy half-wits attempt to whole-ass their way through controversial ideas that should’ve been left to credible experts, researchers, and sponsors. Will these purveyors of misinformation break new intellectual ground? Or will they just end up on another FBI watchlist? They're probably wrong, but at least they're not lying.
