Formed in the 4th century BCE the Thebans, who came from a uniquely gay-tolerant society, believed that soldiers would fight more ferociously to protect their partners and to avoid showing cowardice in front of them. They were not wrong. The Sacred Band quickly became the shock troops of the Theban army and one of the most dominant phalanx formations of the Ancient Greek world.

Pumpkin Hill Radio: Paranormal Mysteries, Conspiracies, and Unexplained PhenomenaEpisode 91: Paul of Thebes – Desert Saints, Shamanic Visions & Enlightened MadnessLong before monasteries, churches, or organized faith, one man disappeared into the Egyptian desert—and never returned. This is the story of Paul of Thebes: the first Christian hermit, the man who lived nearly a century in silence, and whose death was marked by ravens and lions. But Paul’s tale doesn’t end with Christian sainthood—it bleeds into a stranger tradition: desert shamanism, visionary mysticism, and the forgotten origins of spiritual madness.In this episode, we explore Paul’s legendary life, his meeting with Anthony the Great, and the rise of the Desert Fathers—men and women wh...

The History NetworkEpaminondas of Thebes - Part 2Epaminondas' victory at Leuctra created the Theban Hegemony, a brief period where Thebes dominated Greek politics. There has always been criticism that when Thebes defeated Sparta at the battle of Leuctra they had no real plan to replace the Spartan domination of Greece with one of their own. Hence the Theban hegemony of Greece was short-lived. One consideration to keep in mine is that Thebes only sought to end Spartan domination, not replace it. By achieving that feat at Leuctra, they actually created a power vacuum (which would eventually be filled by Macedon under Philip II, achieving domination of...
