We'd love to hear from youIn this episode, we explore the lives of Agesilaus and Pelopidas, two towering figures from ancient Greece whose paths and principles could not be more different. Agesilaus, the disciplined and cunning Spartan king, rose to prominence through military command and political maneuvering—but his loyalty to Sparta may have come at Greece’s expense. Pelopidas, the fiery and courageous Theban, championed freedom and defied tyranny, shaping the rise of Thebes through bold action and sacrifice. Through Plutarch’s lens, we examine leadership, character, and the clash between duty to the state and devotion to justice. Two lives. Two legacies. One enduring comparison.Support the showThanks for supporting our show Plutarch enthusiasts!
