Everyone knows Sparta, as well as its ally - the leading naval power of the Peloponnesian League - Corinth. But what about Corinth's colony to the northwestwest, on the eastern shore of the Ionian Gulf, Corcyra? How about Corcyra's colony, even farther north up the coast, Epidamnus? In this insignificant and distant Greek city, the match which would ignite all of Greece in the monstrous conflagration known as the Peloponnesia War was finally lit.


In this New Humanists+ bonus episode, the fifth installment of the "Greece Occidens" megaseries, Jonathan and Ryan read and discuss Chapter Two: A Quarrel in a Far-Away Country of Donald Kagan's The Peloponnesian War.
