Captivating Speaker
Great lectures. He captures so much of Greek culture and life in what appears, at first glance of the episode titles, a retelling of political and military history. He seeks not to give one names and dates; rather, he seeks to establish a cultural understand of the ancient Greeks for modern pupils such as myself who have lacked such an education in the classics. However, he is quite neoliberal, for better or worse, and often idealizes Athenian democracy and sees America as its rightful heir. While I think there is some merit to this view, I think he overstates the case in an effort to combat “radical” thinkers like Marx, toward whom he is not afraid to make an occasional jab. Regardless of his politics, his confidence and knowledge outshines any disagreements we have and makes for a wonderful lecture series.

Lectures by one of the leading experts on the subject, obviously of high value academically. does get a bit tedious at times, but well worth it!

Unbelievable that people are giving one of the foremost scholars on greek history a bad review. He obviously knows the material and can present it well.
