Forget Herodotus, forget Thucydides - Xenophon is a historian worth getting to know, and he did so much more than simply write histories... Join Owen Rees and I as we chat about a Greek man who turned his hand at just about anything, and whose biography reads like an adventure novel.
Owen Rees is the author of 'The Far Edges of the Known World: A New History of the Ancient Past' and is the founder of www.BadAncient.com, where ancient historians tackle some of the biggest myths and misconceptions about ancient history. You can find him on Bluesky or read his work on Substack.
