The Sacred Band -Two
Description
This week, on Tales we return to Thebes, to see how their Sacred Band is working out for them. We learn a little bit about Spartan King Agesilaus’ lost love, and we meet a warlord named Jason.
This is part two of a three parter.
Content warnings: historical ableism, homophobic attitudes, warfare, assassination, battlefield death, executions and forced displacement.
Sources Include:
James Romm’s ‘The Sacred Band’
Plutarch’s ‘Lives…’
