Battle Boned

Episode 3, in this special or "half" episode, I explain the Hoplite and Phalanx evolution theories of Classical Greek warfare in detail instead of a battle. Apologies for the boring lecture, but this is needed to understand and provide context for later podcast episodes on Greek/Hellenic Warfare till the age of Roman Occupation. 

In episode 2, I begin the journey of the development of the phalanx or "log" type warfare first referenced by Homer, where the ancient Greeks are beginning to learn that tactics beyond raiding and small battles need more substantial development. 

I set up expectations about how episodes will run, bare with me as I iterate my show. I begin Series 1 Episode 1 with an introduction Archaic Greek Warfare. I give background of the Early Archaic War between Chalcis and Eritrea and then get into some story telling. Thank you for giving this podcast a listen!

This is a quick and dirty introduction the the podcast, thanks for listening! I will try to have at least one episode published a week. As an fyi, my podcast will be somewhat explicit and not family friendly. I hope you will stick around to listen to all the great content I will produce over the course of this show. Thank you again!
