Summary
We return to the action immediately following the Battle of Leuctra where Sparta reeled from unexpected defeat. Yet a new determination emerged in King Agesilaus - who reminded his countrymen that his nemesis hadn’t beaten *him*. Meanwhile Thebes, under Epaminondas and Pelopidas, was suddenly the spearpoint of a new Greece, what would they do with this windfall of power? This certainly disrupted the expectations and plans of the biggest players like Jason of Pherae and Great King Artaxerxes of Persia - both of whom simultaneously faced internal threats. In this episode many notable names will meet their end!
