Hey everyone! Sorry for delays. We are right in the middle of the tornado damage in St Louis. We are fine, and our area managed to dodge the serious damage. Im currently looking into ways for people to help remotely. If anybody in the StL area has suggestions please send them in

Happy 4 year vegetarian anniversary to me 🫡

HoP 144: A grab bag episode to cover Seleukid politics in the last decade or so of Antiochus Soter’s reign. We’ve got temples, cities, and rebellion. What more could you ask for? hopfulmedia.com/2025/03/11/144…

HoP 143: The First Syrian War No sooner had Antiochus I defeated the new-found Galatians in Anatolia, than war erupted in the south. Magas, brother of Ptolemy II and self-declared King of Cyrene, formed a marriage alliance with Antiochus before fighting a war of secession.

@aramithius I've been doing my best to not check on this app for a month, but this is one of the most exciting interactions I've gotten the chance to have in a long time. Thank you for your feedback! I wasn't aware of the forum members as the names for gods. As for the rest,

@HistoryofPersia Just listened to your Creation review episode with Swords, Sorcery & Socialism, and wanted to clarify a few things around your mention of Aka as possibly stolen from Zoroastrianism. (1/?)

@aramithius Zoroastrian influences more directly, just because it's more likely to encounter when reading about the same topics online. It will be interesting to see what comes up if they're really going to Hammerfell in TESVI.

@aramithius some similarities are inevitable when drawing from Indic sources just because they're so closely related. Gnostic elements even more, given that Z was a very direct influence on the early Gnostic movements. I'd be shocked if some of the more recent TES writers aren't encountering

I want to say something about this. And I will. But every time I try to write something down for the last 24 hours, it just turns into screaming fuck into the internet until I run out characters.

HoP 140: Meet the Neighbors Who Resisted By the time Seleucus Nicator was murdered, he had reunited much of Alexander the Great’s Empire, but the northern and southwestern edges of the imperial map were rapidly filling in with new, smaller kingdoms and confederations.

Artaxerxes I died between December 424-February 423, based on the Babylonian Muraŝu Archive. If we just had those tablets, we'd probably think power went to Darius II without much of an issue. He was recognized as King in Babylonia almost immediately.

A new project (not a pod) has me revisiting the Achaemenids, starting with Darius II, 423-404 BC. His rise to power is one of the most unique in Achaemenid history. 4 brothers tried to seize power almost simultaneously, and armies were ready, but there was barely any fighting. 🧵

@TASTEforTEA_ Yes! It's from 1829. So when they pictured a Shah, it would have been the Qajars

@HistoryofPersia are those Qajar crowns?

History of Persia Holiday Special: Zartosht No Diso According to tradition, the prophet Zoroaster died at 77 years and 40 days old on Khorshed Dae AKA December 26 (depending on who you ask). Let’s talk about it.
