Episode 3: The Women of Sparta, Part 2
Channel: Steven Pressfield
Date: 2020-08-24

Why did king Leonidas pick the specific 300 warriors that he did to fight the Persians (and to face certain death) at Thermopylae? To this day, no one knows. In Gates of Fire, I imagined an answer. Leonidas chose his Three Hundred-including himself, for he knew he too would die in the coming battle-not for their own courage but for the courage of their women. In today’s video we’ll investigate further the mindset of these wives and mothers, sisters and daughters of the ancient world’s premier warrior culture.

New episodes every Monday and Thursday.
