Plutarch's Greeks and Romans Podcast
Plutarch’s Greeks and Romans is a podcast inspired by Plutarch’s ancient collection of biographies of famous Grecians and Romans.
Plutarch was both a Greek and a Roman citizen living during the Pax Romana - the Golden Age of the Roman Empire.
Our podcast will explore 50+ persons Plutarch believed were most influential in the rise of Greek and Roman civilization, from legends such as Theseus and Romulus to conquerors like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.
Plutarch had no shortage of great people and stories to tell us about about these people who shaped their times and ours!

Episode 11: The Life of Pericles Part 1
With Cimon out of the picture for a while, more democratic figures would step up to fill the leadership vacuum, and Pericles would end up becoming the most prominent of these, eventually establishing a legacy as arguably the greatest statesman in the history of Athens.
With Pericles as the lead voice in the Ecclesia, Athens would experience a Golden Age which continues to impress us a full two and a half Millenia later.
