概要

 Watson-Howland | British Long-Form Podcast | Episode 81: The ancient Greeks invented democracy. Oxford classics lecturer Steve Kershaw says they would look at your government and call it an oligarchy. An outsider looked at Rome and said “that city is for sale, and if it finds a buyer, it’s doomed.” 2,000 years later, the same corruption is everywhere.Jacob Watson-Howland (award-winning BBC-featured photographer) is joined by Steve Kershaw: Oxford lecturer, author of The Search for the Real Troy, Mythologica, and A Brief History of the Roman Empire, and BBC history expert (Barbarians Rising, You’re Dead to Me, Dan Snow’s History Hit).From the invention of the “barbarian” as a Greek linguistic joke to the invisible collapse of the Roman Empire, Kershaw reveals how ancient Rome’s internal rot, political corruption, and cultural arrogance mirror modern civilisation with uncomfortable precision. Plus: why the Greeks, who invented democracy, would classify every modern Western government as an oligarchy.You’ll learn:-Why the Greeks would classify every modern Western government as an oligarchy, not a democracy -How Roman historians used “noble barbarians” to criticise their own corrupt governments without being killed -What an outsider meant when he looked at Rome and said “that city is for sale, and if it finds a buyer, it’s doomed” -Why a scholar came up with 210 different reasons for Rome’s fall, and what that tells us about collapse -How Greek myths teach nuance in a way modern culture has completely abandoned-What Achilles, Odysseus, and Medea reveal about the human cost of getting what you wantSubscribe and turn on notifications: https://www.youtube.com/@watsonhowland?sub_confirmation=100:00 Intro02:04 Inventing The Barbarian06:57 Barbarian As Mirror11:13 Assimilation Not Erasure15:29 Polytheism And Tolerance17:31 Christianity Takes Over23:32 Pagan Gods And Boundaries28:53 Healing Sanctuaries Holism32:51 Greek Heroes Not Saints40:17 Myths Teach Nuance42:19 Fate Power And Limits47:22 Migration Then And Now53:35 Why Rome Is So Cool56:50 Alpha History Fantasy57:22 Roman Fantasy Reality59:13 Odysseus Cautionary Hero01:02:42 Medea Revenge Logic01:05:47 Achilles Revenge Price01:08:19 What Democracy Saved01:12:34 Coins as Propaganda01:14:09 Barbarians Worthy Foes01:17:10 Ancient Globalization01:20:36 Fall of Rome Debates01:26:25 Teaching Classics Today01:28:34 Why Classics Matter01:32:29 Rapid Fire Farewell01:35:23 Final Thanks Next Work01:36:30 Super Important MessageThree pillars of the show:- FRONTIER: Space, AI, science, engineering, and the builders of the next century.- CIVILISATIONS: History, economics, geopolitics and the ideas that still run everything.- AGENCY: The psychology of purpose, performance, and what it means to be a man of genuine character in this new world.Steve:Official Website: stevekershaw.com includes info on his teaching at Oxford and toursBooks Page: stevekershaw.com/16.html full list of his published classics booksLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/steve-kershaw-ab7b7415Jacob:Website: https://www.jacobwatsonhowland.com1-1 Coaching + Podcast Blueprint: ⁠https://www.skool.com/remote-pro-podcast-blueprint-8385⁠FREE Podcast Tips: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUp5S7ZIZtjA8PMgXJMwppA⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@jacobjwatsonhowland⁠Spotify: ⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠#RomanEmpire #AncientHistory #BritishPodcastCIVILISATIONS + BRITISH MINDS SERIES This is a public episode.
