Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece II

November 10, 2025 | By History of Westeros

The tale of three city states continues as Sparta maintains their seizure of Thebes while Athens looks to reclaim their maritime dominance. Persia has war on many fronts and ever-worsening palace intrigue, making their interference or lack thereof uncertain. While the old kings Agesilaus and Artaxerxes live on, a new generation of leaders, warriors, orators and innovators are emerging throughout Greece. The continuing stories of Chabrias, Parysatis, Iphicrates and Tirabazus – featuring their best ASOIAF counterparts – plus new characters added to the mix.

Episode Summary

Join us as we delve deeper into the twilight of Ancient Greece, mirroring the political machinations of Westeros with uncanny accuracy! We’re tracking the power struggles of Athens and Sparta, now with Sparta digging its heels into Thebes, while a weakened Persia teeters on the brink. This week, we explore the ascendance of a new generation – think of them as the young wolves of Westeros – figures like the brilliant general Chabrias (our Tyrion analogue!), the ambitious Parysatis, and the cunning Iphicrates, all vying for power amidst the crumbling empires of their predecessors. Was Persia’s Artaxerxes as prone to making questionable decisions as Aerys? Was Agesilaus the Spartan Tywin? Tune in to find out, and discover the surprising parallels between the Peloponnesian War and the game of thrones itself!
