Episode Details

In the first  in a multi-part series on the life of Pyrrhus, the Molossian King of Epirus, we chronicle the transformation of the fragmented and backwater region of Epirus into a major power in the Balkans and Greek Peninsula. We then follow the initial years of Pyrrhus' career amidst the Wars of the Diadochi, being shuffled from court to court, before finally recovering his kingdom.
