Professor Paul Cartledge has set the record straight on the Ancient Thebans in his new book  Thebes: The Forgotten City. Thebes has been ignored because of the spin from, what Cartledge calls, “the snooty and elitist Athenians”. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Episode Louise Hitchcock Cover

Louise Hitchcock

Not all things begin with the Greeks – a discussion with Professor Louise A. Hitchcock Archaeology, Historical and Philosophical Studies If we had a time machine to travel back to the Bronze Age you’d want Professor Louise A. Hitchcock with you. “Greeks were the world’s first great spin doctors,” according to Professor Hitchcock. The Mesopotamian epic poem Gilgamesh was written sometime around Third Dynasty of Ur 2004 BCE about 1500yrs before the Greek blind bard Homer penned The Iliad and The Odyssey. Of course, Homer had a better marketing and communications campaign. Greeks had no concept or east and west. Professor Hitchcock talks about the ‘west’ developed in the academies of 19th Century Britain, Germany, and France. While for ancient Minoans, Greeks and Romans the east and the west merged.
