ThecuriousmanspodcastJames Romm InterviewWhat happens when a philosopher tries to change the world—not through words, but by shaping a king? In this episode, we sit down with James Romm, classical historian and author of Plato and the Tyrant, a gripping narrative about Plato’s dramatic real-world attempt to bring his philosophical ideals to life in the court of the tyrant Dionysius of Syracuse. Through ambition, betrayal, and idealism, Romm explores the tensions between power and wisdom—and why even Plato wasn’t immune to the seductions of political influence.2025-07-011h 03

Also known as Alexander III of Macedon, he was one of the most successful military leaders of all time. Undefeated by the time of his death in 323 BCE, he is still a go-to figure when people want to define an empire builder. But how should we view this often cruel and destructive militarist today in the light of current world events?

This quote gives a good sense of why Seneca is so enjoyable to read in Latin or translate.

Knowledge = PowerJames Romm - The Sacred Band (Vivienne Leheny)From classicist James Romm comes a “striking…fascinating” (Booklist) deep dive into the last decades of ancient Greek freedom leading up to Alexander the Great’s destruction of Thebes - and the saga of the greatest military corps of the time, the Theban Sacred Band, a unit composed of 150 pairs of male lovers.
The story of the Sacred Band, an elite 300-man corps recruited from pairs of lovers, highlights a chaotic era of ancient Greek history, four decades marked by battles, ideological disputes, and the rise of vicious strongmen. At stake was freedom, democracy, and the fate of Thebes, at th...2022-06-209h 05Knowledge = PowerJames S.

His death at the age of thirty-two spelled the end of that unity.
The story of Alexander’s conquest of the Persian empire is known to many readers, but the dramatic and consequential saga of the empire’s collapse remains virtually untold. It is a tale of loss that begins with the greatest loss of all, the death of the Macedonian king who had held the empire together.
