The Hardcore Humanities Podcast

From St Andrews - Edward Armstrong on the Ancient Greeks: Thucydides, Euripides and the language they use.

Jamiejamiejamie Season 1 Episode 25

I am thrilled to introduce you to classicist Edward Armstrong. After gaining an undergrad in Ancient History, Edward compounded that subject with Classics for his MPhil, both completed at the University of Sydney. Edward is currently studying for his PhD at St Andrews University. Edward explores one of the founding fathers of historical inquest: Thucydides. In this episode we discuss Edward's main focus - how Thucydides uses character and rhetoric - as well as the great tragedian Euripides and Ancient Greek Religion. Happy listening!
