#47 - Was Sparta Really Superior? With Myke Cole, author of the "Bronze Lie"
Manage episode 304460497 series 2750129
Is Sparta under attack? Or is it time for a new look at the ancient power?
Myke Cole, author of “The Bronze Lie: Shattering the Myth of Spartan Warrior Supremacy” counts up Sparta’s wins and losses and asks: What if, in fact, the Spartans weren’t such great warriors? And what does that mean for us today?
We discuss if this is true, the implications of this research and just as importantly... How should we really remember Sparta?
Myke Cole is an American author of history, fantasy, and science fiction. His emergency response career spans service in the US military, intelligence, law enforcement services as well as firefighting. He starred on CBS’ investigative TV show Hunted, and Discovery Channel’s Contact. His essays have appeared in The New York Times, Slate, The Daily Beast, Foreign Policy, and The New Republic.
