  • Summary

  • This episode I discuss the invasion of the Balkans by the Celts. Led by multiple leaders but most famously Brennus, the Gauls/Celts invaded Macedon and continued into Greece proper making it all the way to Delphi. From the accounts of our Classical authors, we see echoes of the Greek belief in the barbarity of the Celts. If you want to hear some of these accounts, then join me in this episode on the Celtic Invasion of Greece.
