Alexandria: A Hellenistic World Podcast
A podcast telling the lesser-known stories of the Hellenistic period (c.323 – 32 BCE), year-by-year. From the founding of Epicureanism to the sack of Corinth; from refugees hiding in caves to a bureaucrat running a great estate. Poets, philosophers, civil servants; mothers, doctors, prostitutes; everyone in-between. See you in Alexandria!
