RHH is taking a quick detour from our fascination with Byzantine history to talk about political theory, Classical Realism, and the much-celebrated figure of Thucydides. Using The Peloponnesian War as our backdrop, we'll be talking about why people seek to control, how foreign policy is not so subtly dictated by our own brutal human nature, and how a thirty-year conflict would forever shape our understanding of power-brokering within a world filled with those seeking to do just that.
