THE HERODOTUS PODCAST
Episode 06: A Fool, and His Money (1.26-35)
Herodotus plays tour guide/ethnographer and gives us a glimpse of the land of Lydia and its people. But should we believe him?
In this episode, we finally meet Croesus, hear about his domination of Anatolia, and witness his schooling by the sage Solon of Athens. We'll also learn more about Lydia, and take some time to talk about the origin of money.
