<p>When I announced I would be taking a break back in the Autumn I received an email from listener Brian Sherry offering to produce an episode of the show for me. He told me about the metal band Judicator recording an entire album about Belisarius. And he very kindly offered to interview them on my behalf.</p><br /><p>I said yes and Brian got lead singer and writer John Yelland on the phone and they talked about turning the life story of Justinian’s most trusted General into a full metal album.</p><br /><p>Today's episode is an edited version of that interview. They talk through the concept and the choice of moments in Belisarius’ life to capture in song. And they play a few snippets of music to give you an idea of what the album sounds like.</p><br /><p>If you’d like more then the full 2 hour interview is available on Judicator’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/JudicatorMetal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube channel</a><strong>. </strong>And of course if you’d like to buy the album - Let There Be Nothing – go to <a href="http://judicatormetal.bandcamp.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">judicatormetal.bandcamp.com</a> or check it out on Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify or wherever you get your music.</p><br /><p>I am still working on the bonus content I owe many of you. I will be back at some point in Spring with the narrative. For now enjoy the interview.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.

<p>Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο συζητάμε το τί είναι το Βυζάντιο. Από μία πόλη σε μία ολόκληρη αυτοκρατορία, η χρήση του όρου «Βυζάντιο» έχει αποκτήσει πολλές και διαφορετικές έννοιες. Όλες έχουν κάτι να “πουν” αλλά και να κρύψουν. Καταλήγουμε πάντως στο συμπέρασμα πως το Βυζάντιο δεν ήταν μόνο μία πόλη αλλά κάτι πιο πολύπλοκο.</p> <p><strong>_____________</strong></p> <p><strong>Για να ακούσεις το podcast μας κάνε click στο παρακάτω link:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://linktr.ee/byzantioexplainedpodcast"><u><strong>https://linktr.ee/byzantioexplainedpodcast</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Ακολουθήστε το Podcast</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGZDM1dmdzBONmwtNVBNMDBwVjJOM2NVWjdVQXxBQ3Jtc0tsSWdYOFREUWVZYWd0WTVLV1V1S0JkRF9KanNqSVlrS2JpbU9pbnd1RGFJTlJyNzdia19meHZJeDlqOVhfdmF3QjBqUmwzQUtmVklic1ZZa09yXy1ES0ZKZ3ZWZjY0dlMzcnA2TXlwWURYMjZxX1R1WQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Ftrip.flakes%2F"><u><strong> </strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Instagram ►</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUNLaHpxMnNONnpwemlkTUV2NlNiR3N0OTRVd3xBQ3Jtc0tuMjV2V2stRjREX00xX0EzV0F4U1ZEREdIalhwcm1wNHJoakJFQkR0bURVdVEwOVJUR1lOM1B6TGNRRTFwMlA5RzEtNUxrVjhfMy1ZZXBhbE9oTWtDekxZV215Z2tTNWs3cUFQUUlTTVJobi1zQS00SQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fgrecontrek%2F"><u><strong> </strong></u></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/byzantioexplained_podcast/"><u><strong>https://www.instagram.com/byzantioexplained_podcast/</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Twitter ►</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqay10YVNRUGwxeTduN3RDbGJNd3c0UGZEYmQwQXxBQ3Jtc0trWE1yZ0xrTXg5NUszNW8wWm1jX3ZOeVVCaHN3MEVUY3VKclhLUVpNNnk2dXRGU2hpdVJuV1hCcGhwWF85TXIwbFJRTW5BeXJLdENFOHJLMGNLUzl0RXpnQWNQcEJXSFNrOEpIZ2JheGJraUtEYVBrVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fgrecontrek"><u><strong> </strong></u></a><a href="https://twitter.com/ByzantioP"><u><strong>https://twitter.com/ByzantioP</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>YouTube ► </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCumFGMN8OHqCxrxRl-wTEQA"><u><strong>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCumFGMN8OHqCxrxRl-wTEQA</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Spotify ► </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3FtJ3ixEZiYBwuqyQ81mdg"><u><strong>https://open.spotify.com/show/3FtJ3ixEZiYBwuqyQ81mdg</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Apple Podcasts ► </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gr/podcast/byzantio-explained/id1554787771"><u><strong>https://podcasts.apple.com/gr/podcast/byzantio-explained/id1554787771</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Anchor.FM ►</strong><a href="https://anchor.fm/byzantio"><u><strong>https://anchor.fm/byzantio</strong></u></a></p> <p><br /></p>
Throughout the three centuries of Ptolemaic control over Egypt, their dynasty can be best described as having a split identity. Ruling from Alexandria, the new intellectual and cultural capital of the Greek-speaking world, the Ptolemies were very much Hellenistic kings and queens. But Egypt was an ancient land, and they needed to come to terms with the pharaonic tradition that had dominated Egyptian life for the better part of 3,000 years. As the longest reigning dynasty in Egyptian history, the Ptolemies adopted the role and iconography of the pharaoh to great success. They were also capable of developing new ways to project their power, whether through the establishment and promotion of royal cults and new deities like Serapis, or incorporating the image of splendor and abundance as part of their propaganda. In this episode, we will see how the Ptolemies successfully legitimized their rule in the eyes of both Greeks and Egyptians alike.

A wide-ranging conversation with Merle Eisenberg (National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center, University of Maryland) on the opportunities created for historians by media, old and new, to disseminate our ideas to the public. Among other things, I learned what a "press release" is and how it works, as well as how historians and scientists work differently with the press. Should we bring scholarly debates to the broader public? What do we lose when we craft a good story in order to do so successfully? We also talk about our pet peeves in films that tell a good story but get the facts so infuriatingly wrong.
<p>What can we learn about the deep human past by studying present-day hunter-gatherers? I asked that question to Professor Robert Kelly of the University of Wyoming, who's both one of the world's experts on hunter-gatherers and an accomplished archaeologist. Today's hunter-gatherers aren't living fossils who provide a direct window onto the distant past, but their lifeways do offer fascinating insights into that past.</p><p>Listen to new episodes 1 week early, to exclusive seasons 1 and 2, and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

Our final episode on Alexios' reign returns us to our first. Back in episode 197 we interviewed Professor Leonora Neville about Anna Komnene. That interview set us up to cover Alexios' reign and the First Crusade with Anna as our primary source. But the last question I asked that day was about the succession from Alexios to John and Anna's supposed coup attempt. Here we finally hear Professor Neville's argument that Anna did no such thing. We also briefly look at our main historian for our next period of narrative - Niketas Choniates. <hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.

<p>More than 5,000 years ago, the city of Uruk in what's now Iraq was the heart of a new civilization. Cities, kings, armies, monumental temples, and writing were all new developments. But why here? Why then? And who suffered so that civilization could rise?</p><p>Listen to new episodes 1 week early, to exclusive seasons 1 and 2, and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

We look at your questions about Alexios and the Crusades. Listeners wanted an update on the state of Byzantium's army, economy and administration. How much credit or blame should Alexios get for the events of his reign? What about his relationship with his family? Were the Latins tougher fighters than the Byzantines? And several more. <hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
