By the 8th century BCE the city states of Greece
had arisen to their classical age and began shaping the direction of western
civilization. As a scattered collection of individual powers, shared cultural
attributes force historians to consider the inhabitants of the Greek mainland
to be one society governed by the same world view. While having a great deal in
common, the Classical Greeks often battled one another and divided their
loyalties between the two superpowers of the age, the Athenians of Attica and
the Spartans on the Peloponnesus. On this episode we discuss the emergence of
Classical Greece and the rivalry of Athens and Sparta.
