   The First Clash: The Miraculous Greek Victory at Marathon and Its Impact on Western Civilization by James Lacey

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652145 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652145) to listen full audiobooks. Title: The First Clash: The Miraculous Greek Victory at Marathon and Its Impact on Western Civilization Author: James Lacey Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 6, 2024 Genres: Ancient Civilizations Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Marathon—one of history’s most pivotal battles. Its very name evokes images of almost superhuman courage, endurance, and fighting spirit. But until now, the story of what happened at Marathon has been told exclusively through the narrow viewpoint of specialists in antiquity. In this eye-opening new book, acclaimed journalist Jim Lacey, both a military historian and a combat veteran, takes a fresh look at Marathon and reveals why the battle happened, how it was fought, and whether, in fact, it saved Western civilization. Lacey brilliantly reconstructs the world of the fifth century B.C. leading up to the astonishing military defeat of the Persian Empire by the vastly undermanned but determined Greek defenders. Using the seminal work of Herodotus as his starting point, Lacey reconstructs the tactical and strategic scenario of the battle, including how many combatants each side might have used and who actually led the Greeks. He also disputes the long-repeated myths of Athenian inexperience and effete Persian arrogance. With the kind of vivid detail that characterizes the best modern war reportage, Lacey shows how the heavily armed Persian army was shocked, demoralized, and ultimately defeated by the relentless assault of the Athenian phalanx, which battered the Persian line in a series of brutal attacks. He reveals the fascinating aftermath of Marathon, how its fighters became the equivalent of our “Greatest Generation,” and challenges the view of many historians that Marathon ultimately proved the Greek “Western way of war” to be the superior strategy for fighting—and winning—battles to the present day. Immediate, visceral, and full of new analyses that defy decades of conventional wisdom, The First Clash is a superb interpretation of a conflict that indeed made the world safe for Aristotle, Plato, and our own modern democracy. But it was also a battle whose legacy and lessons have often been misunderstood—perhaps, now more than ever, at our own peril. * This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing illustrated maps and the Dramatis Personae, from the printed book.

   How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator by Theodore Papakostas

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/612337 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/612337) to listen full audiobooks. Title: How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator Author: Theodore Papakostas Narrator: Tom Babbage, John Moraitis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 1, 2024 Genres: Ancient Civilizations Publisher's Summary: 'Irresistibly fascinating' MARIE CLAIRE GREECE 'Essential' VICTORIA HISLOP 'Brilliantly conceived' PAUL CARTLEDGE An enormous bestseller in Greece, this is a bold, witty retelling of the story of Ancient Greece by a rising star in archaeology Two strangers meet in a trapped elevator. One is an archaeologist, the other isn’t. A simple question, ‘What do you do?’, becomes the springboard for a dialogue that weaves a fascinating tale. Archaeologist Theodore Papakostas takes the reader on a spectacularly iconoclastic and hugely engrossing journey through ancient Greece, from its beginnings in prehistory to its end. Marvelling at the exalted moments in history as well as the more mundane, Papakostas introduces the reader to countless fascinating stories about the cradle of western civilisation – many of which upend received wisdom about the empire as well as about archaeology itself. Along the way, he settles questions such as: What did a Minoan princess pack for a trip to Egypt? How did a raunchy dance lead to the birth of Democracy? Why did Heraclitus suggest that Homer should be slapped? A whistle-stop tour through three hundred years of Greek history, How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator is an unforgettable love letter to the treasures we’ve inherited from the ancient world, as well as to those who have helped us unearth them.

   Justinian: Emperor, Soldier, Saint by Peter Sarris

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665583 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665583) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Justinian: Emperor, Soldier, Saint Author: Peter Sarris Narrator: Mark Elstob Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 37 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Ancient Civilizations Publisher's Summary: A definitive new biography of the Byzantine emperor Justinian     Justinian is a radical reassessment of an emperor and his times. In the sixth century CE, the emperor Justinian presided over nearly four decades of remarkable change, in an era of geopolitical threats, climate change, and plague. From the eastern Roman—or Byzantine—capital of Constantinople, Justinian’s armies reconquered lost territory in Africa, Italy, and Spain. But these military exploits, historian Peter Sarris shows, were just one part of a larger program of imperial renewal. From his dramatic overhaul of Roman law, to his lavish building projects, to his fierce persecution of dissenters from Orthodox Christianity, Justinian’s vigorous statecraft—and his energetic efforts at self-glorification—not only set the course of Byzantium but also laid the foundations for the world of the Middle Ages.     Even as Justinian sought to recapture Rome’s past greatness, he paved the way for what would follow.
