It’s not Demetrius II’s fault that his dad handed him a time bomb. It’s not his fault we can’t figure out which cousin he married. It’s not his fault! But it IS his episode!

It's curtains for old Antigonos Gonatas in his finale episode. Meredith's jet lag leads to interesting new historical takes such as can the Ptlomey dynasty swim? A general gets some digestive issues and so much more!

Antigonos Gonatas plays all the hits you’ve heard before: kings abandoned by armies, uncomfortable marriages, and Athens and Sparta being stupid. Oh and an elephant plays with a baby (no one dies… promise).

Welcome to the finale! When Pyrrhus sets his mind to something, he sticks to it… until he sees something shiny and declares war on it! Oh, and today we cut people in half, the baby elephant DOES appear, and frisbee claims another victim (seriously)!

Pyrrhus got bored. Pyrrhus went to Italy. People died. Pyrrhus got bored. Pyrrhus went to Sicily. People died. And a baby elephant searches for mommy. It’s part two of Pyrrhus of Epirus!

The dry spell is over! And Pyrrhus is bringing the rain, even if he’s raining fire! We’ve got love, war, adventures while babysitting, and poop… this story features poop. It’s part 1 of Pyrrhus, king of Epirus (and Macedon)!

Meredith and Dustin debated what to say in this blurb, longer than Antipater II Etesias may have sat on the throne.

Remember the puppy with the flamethrower looking for a home that he could burn down? Well he’s all grown up, found a place to call home, and he still has the flamethrower. Everything in Macedon is just fine… Hi, Ptolemy Keraunos!

Imagine a puppy. Now give it a flame thrower. Now kick the puppy out into the cold night and tell it that anything flammable is the reason it has no family. That is Ptolemy Keraunos. Have a nice day.

Oh man, part 2 of the golden boy! The great thing about Seleukos is that he’s the gift that keeps on giving, especially when he’s giving Antigonos a headache. Conquests, a weird story about a lion and a sweaty man, Lovecraftian-esque coffee, and more!
