À propos de cet audio

 Dive into the tumultuous world of the Athenian Empire, as British historian George W. Cox explores its brief yet impactful existence over just two generations. This confederation of Greek city-states, led by Athens, sought to present a united front against the looming threat of the Persian Empire. However, internal conflicts between democratic and oligarchic factions, along with a complex web of alliances, ultimately led to the devastating and drawn-out Peloponnesian War. In this engaging narrative, Cox vividly recounts the key battles on land and sea, and brings to life the intriguing figures of Athenian general Nikias, his Spartan rival Agis, and the enigmatic, charismatic Alcibiades.
