Today I sit down with scholar Roderick Denton to discuss his new book: The Greeks. The book is available now at all the usual places, but if you buy it HERE you get the same book for the same price AND the show gets a kickback. 

The book covers everything from Mycenae to the more recent economic collapse in Greece during the early 2000s. In the interest of time, we focused our interview on the period of Greek history from Mycenae to the death of Constantine the Great in 337 CE.
