Teaser: Behind the Ionian Revolt (Patreon)
This is a teaser of the bonus episode, Behind the Ionian Revolt found over on Patreon.For this episode we turn to the Ionian Revolt and look to the causes behind the revolt breaking out.Our main source, Herodotus points to individual figures driving the revolt. But for them to do this there must have been more at play. We look to the Greeks experience in Ionia under Lydian and then Persian rule to try and understand what factors would see the populations dissatisfied and in a position where rebelling was a viable option. However it would also seem the Greeks themselves would also play their own part in this, with tyrants leading their cities.If you would like to hear more and support the series click on the Patreon link at the bottom of the page or you can head to my website to discover other ways to support the series, HereISupport the show
