No Republic Was Ever Greater, Ep. 1
This is the first episode of a new series on New Humanists, called "No Republic Was Ever Greater." We are walking through the masterpiece, "Ab Urbe Condita," by Ancient Roman historian Titus Livy and the great commentary on Livy, Renaissance philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli's Discourses. In this episode, we consider the lessons that founders and leaders can learn from Livy's account of the Trojan hero Aeneas.<br/>Livy's Ab Urbe Condita: https://amzn.to/3gYwtbh<br/>Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy: https://amzn.to/3NtNBSj<br/>Paul Cantor's Lecture 1 of 3 on Romeo and Juliet: https://youtu.be/XnaSBpwQDhY?t=3124<br/>Dan Carlin's Death Throes of the Republic: https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-death-throes-of-the-republic-series/<br/>Herodotus' The Histories: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781400031146<br/>Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780684827902<br/>Barack Obama's Remarks to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/remarks-the-chicago-council-global-affairs<br/>Fustel de Coulanges's La Cité Antique (French): https://amzn.to/3yzATuZ<br/>Fustel de Coulanges's The Ancient City (English): https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780648690542<br/>Euripides' Helen: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780199537969<br/>New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/<br/>Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.
