About this listen

 On this episode we uncover the first known historian Herodotus. Special guest Sondre Amundsen joins Alan to recount the tales and travels that Herodotus documented over 2000 years ago. They will unpack the Greek - Persian War so famously depicted in the movie 300, as well as life in Ancient Egypt and Persia. Herodotus is known for his outlandish accounts of the ancient world and set the blueprint for recording history. How relevant is his take for modern historians, and is he to be believed?
