A podcast dedicated to the history of Persia, and the great empires that ruled there beginning with the Achaemenid Empire of Cyrus the Great and the foundation of an imperial legacy that directly impacted ancient civilizations from Rome to China, and everywhere in between. Join me as we explore the cultures, militaries, religions, successes, and failures of some of the greatest empires of the ancient world.

Alright. I&#39;m moving house. Covid is ravaging my Secret Wars guest list. It&#39;s 104* F and I can&#39;t turn off my AC to record History of Persia. So we&#39;re trying a new thing tonight. Hope y&#39;all like mythical pirate anarchism because that&#39;s what I have on hand.

While Cassander and Polyphercon fought for the regency of Macedon, Antigonus Monophthalmus and Eumenes of Cardia fought for supremacy in the Upper Satrapies. The initially reluctant Peithon and Seleucus joined Antigonus to defeat the traitor Eumenes, and in the process, turn Antigonus into the most powerful man in the empire.

With the sudden death of Antipater, the Empire of Alexander the Great is thrown into chaos once again as the late regent&#39;s son, Cassander forges and alliance to seize the reigns of power. Antigonus is hunting Eumenes. Polyphercon struggles in Greece. Ptolemy and Egypt are just quietly expanding, and titanic figures of ancient history are washed away.

Within just two years of Alexander the Great&#39;s death, the conqueror&#39;s empire shattered into civil war as Perdiccas threatened the most powerful nobles in the empire to solidify his own power as regent. Together with Eumenes, Alkestas, and a host of loyalists generals, the Perdiccid faction faced down Antipater, Antigonus, Craterus, and Ptolemy. It was the First War of the Diadochi, the First War of the Successors.

Must Listen Announcement!!!! (and the History of Gold minisode)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/6/17/3/50720ab3-aac5-46a5-82ac-ad91f23e28ff_hop_02_remaster.mp3

Last time, we got up to speed on what was going on in the Near East in the centuries before the Persians showed up. What we didn&#39;t cover, was who exactly are these &#34;Persians,&#34; and what were they doing while their future empire was being taken over by the Assyrians. This time, we figure that out as we follow some steppe nomads called the Proto-Indo-Europeans on their 3000-ish year journey to becoming the Persians.
