Sleep With History

In the quiet folds of history, under a vast, starlit sky, we linger on the fields of Marathon where strategy and valor shaped the fate of an ancient city. Here, General Miltiades turned the tide against a formidable Persian army with a cunning plan that seemed as precarious as it was brilliant, drawing them into the heart of his forces only to encircle them in a deadly embrace. As night drapes its velvet cloak over these hallowed grounds, we explore how the echoes of clashing shields and the race back to Athens encapsulate not just a military triumph, but a profound dedication to the civic ideals that sculpted a culture. Allow the whispers of the past to lull you into a slumber filled with dreams of legendary valor and the timeless dance of stars above a battlefield. This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
