“This guys just reading from a book… is it plagiarism? I’ll guess it is. I’m listening to Kagan on Yale Open Library and it’s great.”

“Well researched and entertaining. I wish the narrator spent a bit more time learning how words are pronounced, many Greek terms are painfully wrong. But most factual content is pretty good.”

“Superb reading of an amazing campaign. The narrative was so well spoken & explained. It seemed as though I was there as Persia was waylaid. No wonder Alexander the Great's father was inspired to believe Persia could, and was, defeated.”Read full review »

“Plenty of detail, Ryan’s tone can be a little monotonous and rigid at times, but the content is worth listening to. No frivolous modern politics or bending the facts to fit an agenda, Worth subscribing if you want to know about Ancient Greece👌”

“Good information but he’s kinda all over the place with a narrative. Can be very difficult to follow especially as he speaks really quickly and never takes pauses. It’s all very monotone and rushed and it makes it difficult to comprehend all he’s trying to say. Been following this show since the...”Read full review »

“A previous reviewer commented on Greek pronunciation in this series. As a former student of Greek, I have a suggestion- find a comparable podcast in Classical or Koine Greek. Great series, snot nose reviewers can pound sand.”

“Ryan Stitt is a serial sexual harasser, and there is plenty of evidence of that from the many women he interacted with online. He has also flagrantly plagiarized from a number of sources, including textbooks by Sara Pomeroy. Do not support this man or his work if you value gender equity and...”Read full review »

“Here’s what I originally said: “The host is knowledgeable and well-prepared. His expertise shows in less-structured interviews, so it’s not simply a matter of good research in preparing for solo narrative readings.”
However….the host is an unrepentant sex pest and a plagiarist. There’s plenty...”Read full review »
