You wake in a strange room.

Your clothes are foreign and the walls are covered in objects from a different world.

You don't know where or when you are, or if you're still dreaming.

There are footsteps in the hall.

Jumping up, you race out of the room and into the streets.

You have just entered the Twilight Histories. You have entered the Twilight Histories, an audio adventure that casts you as the hero.

You will travel to strange and exotic worlds in the multiverse, a Carthaginian base on Mars,

Egypt locked in an Ice age, a Roman Empire that

never fell. With the help of music and sound effects, in each episode you will be immersed

in a world out of time. Today, you will explore an epic tale of ancient Greece and Rome created by Josh Hutchins.

Mithridates, like Hannibal before him, was one of Rome's greatest enemies.

You will travel back in time and will act as a bodyguard for this young Mithridates,

trying to protect him from assassination.

There is a bonus story available to our Patreon supporters, and I'll play a sample of that at the

end of today's show. So don't change the channel. You're going to want to hear what comes next.

And now, for today's show, this is Young Mithridates by Josh Hutchins.

Hello, welcome back. I hope you enjoyed your time of the Bronze Age with the people of Shekelesh.

I trust you've recovered your strength from the numerous skirmishes and confrontations you had there.

Our team here at Twilight Histories has been working to find another similar adventure for you,

and I think we have just the thing.

You may know of a person named Mithridates in our history, yes.

He was the king of Pontus in the first century BC.
