036. Marathon with Dr Owen Rees
Manage episode 342150803 series 2686664
Second up for my Greco-Persian war series is the Battle of Marathon, fought in 490 BCE. The first time in living and recorded memory that a foreign invader attempted such a thing in Greece.
Joining me to discuss the events is author and historian, Dr Owen Rees. Owen specialises in warfare in the ancient world and has a penchant for dissecting the psychological effects it had on the ancient psyche.
I bring that specialisation to bear in concerning the aftermath of the battle, moreover Owen walks us through the build up to the conflict, the peculiarities of Athenian general Miltiades and gives a gripping retelling of the battle itself.
For anyone interested in getting in touch with Owen, his links will be below. Aside from that, I hope you all enjoy and take good care.
