Women Who Went BeforeVeiled But Not Hidden in Ancient GreeceDr. Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones tells us about the veil in ancient Greek culture. Many women in the distant past (as today) wore veils during their life. Veiling meant many things to many people. It could be a means of patriarchal control, a sensual turn on, or a practical choice in a hot climate. From weddings to acts of piety and expressions of grief, veils "spoke." When she chose to reveal or not hide her hair, a Greek woman expressed something to the world.

The History of Egypt PodcastCleopatra (All Seven of Them) with Prof. Lloyd Llewellyn-JonesRecorded May 2024. A name more famous than its owners. The Cleopatras of Egypt (all seven of them) were remarkably influential women and rulers. Frequently taking up power and responsibilities far beyond their more famous husbands (the Ptolemies), the seven Cleopatras of Egypt (and even more in the wider Hellenistic world) are worthy of greater attention and respect. In this interview, Prof. Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones of Cardiff University introduces these figures and his new book The Cleopatras: Forgotten Queens of Egypt.

Historische BoekenCastAfl. 29 - Zeven Cleopatra's en Joodse Raden in het buitenlandDe Joodse Raad moest het Duitse vervolgingsbeleid vertalen naar de Joodse gemeenschap en probeerde ondertussen erger te voorkomen.

Historica Laurien Vastenhout schreef er een belangrijk boek over.

Biblical Time MachineDavid, Bathsheba & Harem PoliticsAncient harems were about much more than sex. They were the powerful realms of royal women — wives, consorts and concubines — where favored sons were positioned as future kings.

Bathsheba, a victim of King David's lust, rises to become "queen mother," the most powerful position in the royal courts of the ancient Near East. Lloyd explains how David and Bathsheba's famous story is at once the product of ancient literary motifs and the real-life exploi...2023-04-2043 minBiblical Time MachineAncient Persia and the Book of EstherDid you know there's not a single mention of God, prayer, or prophets in the Book of Esther?

Mark Leonard's World in 30 MinutesThe Clash of Orders with Vali Nasr on IranMany Europeans see the war in Ukraine as an attack on the ‘rules-based order’. But to many people in other parts of the world, there is no consensus on a set of rules to govern global affairs – and no sense of order. In this mini-series, Mark Leonard will go on an intellectual tour of the world, talking to key thinkers about how order is being defined by different powers. He explores how the clash between these different notions plays into the big shocks facing the world – from climate change and future pandemics to geopolitical struggles and technological disasters – and what this means...2022-11-0439 minThe AncientsRise of the PersiansThe Achaemenid Empire, or better known as the First Persian Empire, was one of the largest empires in History - led by Cyrus the Great it covered 2.1 million square miles.
