Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece - Part 4
Thebes (led by Pelopidas and Epaminondas) and Sparta (led by Agesilaus) head inexorably towards a massive showdown… a bloody contest that remains legendary to this day - a historical treasure trove and an amazing story all in one. Not to be outdone, Poseidon takes center stage - giving us a likely candidate for Atlantis. Meanwhile ancient Great King Artaxerxes of Persia refuses to die or give up on taking back Egypt, and the powers north of Greece grow ever stronger.Shirts - historyofwesteros.threadless.comHoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesteroswww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

Three Baratheon Bastards – Gendry, Edric Storm and Mya Stone
According to Maggy the Frog, King Robert fathered 16 bastards. But three of them are of particular importance to ASOIAF in ways we have yet to see. Three of these royal children have endgames for us to speculate on. Mya Stone, Edric Storm and Ser Gendry. We’ll tell each of their stories individually, including why he’s not Gendry Waters, and then we’ll delve into how their fates are intertwined and how that might manifest.Auphonic - https://auphonic.com?source=historyofwesterosShirts - historyofwesteros.threadless.comHoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesteroswww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
