Episode One: Fall of a City 1

Classically Trained

The first of a four part series on the Netflix original series Troy: Fall of a City, covering episode one of that show.

Two small corrections to things we said in this episode: first, women did sometimes give birth lying down. Second, there is some evidence to suggest that the Greeks did know about India as early as the Classical period (roughly the 500s BCE), but Alexander was the first substantial contact between the Mediterranean and India.
