Music description. Thanks and happy listening. Hello, this is let's talk about myths, baby, and I am your host, Live, and I am here with a re-airing episode today. It was supposed to be new. Michaela's going to take you all back to Herodotus, I think,

really soon, or the Hellenistic series, I should probably

know, but here we are. But the poor woman is ill, and we didn't have anything prepared. So,

this is a re-airing. But I also want to say that it is meant to be relevant. I went through and I

thought I would look for like what episodes I've done on tyranny and rebellion and revolution.

And it turns out I've just already reared them fairly recently because everything keeps being super relevant.

So instead I thought I would continue on with the theme that we had last week,

which is looking at the ways that white supremacy is attracted to the ancient

world and the way that they use it. On Friday, if everything goes to planned, I will have

an impromptu conversation with the women and the partial historians

who I've asked to come talk to us about imperial triumphs of Rome and particularly the triumphal

arches that they built and why.

Really, it's all about propaganda.

Let's remember that.

And so today I just want to share this episode from a few years back with Stephen

Hodkinson about white supremacy and Sparta really specifically.
