Alexander the Great
Hello, welcome to my podcast about Alexander the Great, i am Michalis, together we are going to analyse the life of Alexander the Great. We have a ton to talk about, at the age of 30 Alexander had conquered 2/3 of the known world. He had the equally great Aristotle as a tutor, he was born in Pella, that is, was and forever be Greek. I hope to put out an episode every two or three weeks.If you have any questions or suggestions i would love to hear from you.
Alexander the Great
5. The siege of Amphipolis
I begin todays episode in the year 358, Phillip is looking to secure some sort of an economic stability for his kingdom so he set his sight on the nearby mines.
Then he decides to siege Aphipolis in the year 357, which went really well, for Phillip that is, not so much the Athenians that loved having some sort of control of the city.
I say a few words about the Social War, a nice little whore story, staring our friend Demosthenes and Laida, and some other things that happened in the year 358 to 356.
