In other news, grad school is going great! I get my Masters in History in the summer 2023.
I intend to relaunch this podcast with a focus on the Wars of the Diadochi at some point in 2023. There will likely be a rebrand and possibly a remastering of the previous episodes.
The Wars of Alexander’s Successors was the ultimate exercise in futility.
All of these people spent decades fighting one another to seize power, and for what?
Almost all of them died anyway and the empire they fought over disintegrated in the process.
@arbutus_unedo1 Not dead! On hiatus until I have free time to record the next episode. Busy with grad school and work but we will get there!

@JohnBabri Thank you!
I am in the middle of Grad School and have some major life changing events playing out, but my goal is to finish the Wars of the Diadochi.
@tigertiger1971 Thank you! I intend to continue the series in 2022, though I never imagined the show would become so fixated on the Diadochi Period.
That said, I’m not complaining! I’ve found the time frame to be so fascinating.
Some humor for the day.
@HellenisticPod One of the forgotten wars in ancient history for sure!
The two-part episode on the Fourth Syrian War is so fun to write, it basically narrates itself: a spoiled and lazy kinglet of an realm at the height of its power/wealth versus an equally young but ambitious ruler taking the reins of an empire on the verge of collapse.
I have 2 copies of Eric Cline's book 1177BC to give away to coincide with the interview I did with him. Promote @CastingGreece on Twitter to go into the draw to win a copy. 2nd copy will be drawn amongst my Patreon members. Full details in the episode. Drawn 1st Nov

6. Hellenistic World and the Coming of Rome - E. Gruen
@email_writer Based on my research, it appears the origin of the name is in dispute. Ernst Herzfeld agrees with your interpretation of the origin of the name, while John Hill and João de Barros claim that Kandahar is ultimately derived from Alexander.
The Arch of Ctesiphon near Baghdad. The worlds largest single span unreinforced brick arch, built in the 6th Century AD.

The Taliban is now posting memes about the fall of the Sassanid Empire.
And so it is finished! Episode 13 will premier tomorrow morning, as we explore the three "side theaters" of the First War of the Diadochi.
Happy to report that Episode 13 will be released at some point this coming week! I’m about 25-30% through editing it at the moment.
Episode 13 has been recorded!
In this episode, we’ll be looking at some of the often-overlooked side theaters of the First War of the Diadochi in Aetolia, Cyprus, and Babylon.
The script for Episode 13 of the podcast is now finished!
It’s been a while since I’ve checked this, and wow. Who knew that many people were interested in Greco-Persian history!
Episode 12 - The Hellespont, is now live!
This episode, the largest battle in the narrative thus far is fought between Eumenes and Craterus, the two leading generals in the Anatolian theater of the First War of the Diadochi.
