History of Westeros (Game of Thrones)
Come obsess over A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones with us! Our show is an enthusiastic and heavily-detailed look at the past, present and future of Westeros and the realms beyond.
Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece - Part 4
Thebes (led by Pelopidas and Epaminondas) and Sparta (led by Agesilaus) head inexorably towards a massive showdown… a bloody contest that remains legendary to this day - a historical treasure trove and an amazing story all in one. Not to be outdone, Poseidon takes center stage - giving us a likely candidate for Atlantis. Meanwhile ancient Great King Artaxerxes of Persia refuses to die or give up on taking back Egypt, and the powers north of Greece grow ever stronger.
