The Greeks have a LONG, HUGE, MASSIVE, more than ancient civilization. The Greeks are one of those rare civilizations that have survived reasonably in-tact for thousands of years. It has a heritage so many others can only envy.
So, who are these Greeks? Are the modern Greeks the same civilization as the one that started all those thousands of years ago?
You may be surprised how much the west has copied from the Greeks. You may be even more surprised that most westerners try to ignore almost 2000 years of Grek history including the history of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire.

WARNING> An early Podcast... skip to Ep. 5 [next episode]
This is Episode 4. Empress Theodora of the Romans. Some origin stories are so interesting that you can't really avoid retelling them. Imagine a pheasant, just another common farm labourer who goes on to become Roman Emperor. Or a imagine pheasant-turned soldier who becomes Emperor. Or even a slave who becomes Empress? Well, these actually happened.

Listen now | Guess who Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst [present-day Saxony] was? Well, she was Catherine the Great, also known as Catherine II, who reigned between 1762 and 1796. She was born in the then Prussian [now Polish] town of Stettin. Daddy was a German prince. Although she was a princess, the family had limited wealth. Her heritage meant she was related to many other European nobility such as the Kings of Sweden. She also happened to be a second cousin of the future Peter III, future Tzar of Russia. She first met Peter, aged ten. He was probably eleven or twelve at the time. She found Peter ‘detestable’ - even at that young age.

He was the bishop of Hippo 396-430 and one of the most significant Christian thinkers ever. If you’re Christian [of any branch], you should know this guy. I put him up there with St. Paul, John Chrysostom, Emperor Constantine, and perhaps Jesus [!!!] in terms of actual influence shaping Christian thought, practice, and dogma;
