70: Ancient Greece

Ancient Greece! Amazing birthplace of the modern world, Western culture and democracy. Where mighty Spartans hoiked people into wells shouting "THIS IS SPARTA" all day, every day, for thousands upon thousands of years. Imagine a whole culture built on the single foundational activity of hoofing people into holes while shouting your location. What a dream society! What a wonderful place! We are all the poorer for abandoning this wonderful and noble way of life.In today's episode, we discuss cows, lion-men, skeletons, remote tribes, peristalsis and mechanical wings. Hosted on Acast.
