Listen "Episode 11: the Raid on Delphi"
Episode Synopsis
This episode I discuss the invasion of the Balkans by the Celts. Led by multiple leaders but most famously Brennus, the Gauls/Celts invaded Macedon and continued into Greece proper making it all the way to Delphi. From the accounts of our Classical authors, we see echoes of the Greek belief in the barbarity of the Celts. If you want tohear some of these accounts, then join me in this episode on the Celtic Invasion of Greece.Website: https://hocpod.wordpress.com/Email: [email protected] (X): @histoftheceltsPrimary Sources:Diodorus Siculus: Library of History, Book 22.9Justin: Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus, Book 24.5-25.2Pausanias: Description of Greece, Book 10.19-23Secondary Sources:Cunliffe, Barry: The Ancient Celts, ISBN 978–0–19–875292–9Dizdar, Marko: Late La Tène Settlements in the Vinkovci Region (Eastern Slavonia, Croatia): Centres of Trade and Exchange. https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv8d5tb6.7Freeman, Philip: The Philosopher and the Druids: A Journey Among the Ancient Celts.
