The Oracle and 'Wooden Wall' Prophecy

In 480 BC, the most powerful empire on Earth set out to crush a collection of small, divided Greek city-states. 

On land, defeat seemed inevitable. But at sea, in a narrow strait near a small island called Salamis, everything changed. 

Through strategy, deception, and sheer determination, the Greeks pulled off one of history’s most unlikely victories. 

The outcome didn’t just stop an invasion; it preserved a civilization. 

Learn more about the Battle of Salamis, and how a single naval clash altered the course of history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
