The Vikings evoke striking images of horned helmets, battle axes, and merciless coastal raids. Remembered for their shocking brutality and impressive naval prowess, these marauding pirates from the North have inspired poetry, fantasy novels, plays, symphonies, and even comic book heroes over the last 12 centuries. But do any of these enduring tropes reflect reality? Who were the Vikings really? What do we know about the period that bears their name? Explore these questions and more in The Viking Age, a 12-lecture course that corrects the record on a transformative period in world history.

In Wives, Witches, and Whirlpools: The Powerful Women of Homer’s Odyssey, Professor Jessica Blum-Sorensen helps you explore this classic work with fresh eyes, focusing not on the eponymous hero, but on the many women whose voices and motivations invite us to rethink traditional ideas of heroism. Across seven lectures, you’ll reexamine some of the foundational themes of the literary canon from a new perspective and discover why the deities, wives, maidens, witches, and monsters who populate Homer’s Odyssey are more than a match for its hero.

Most people picture archaeologists digging through dirt in search of ancient artifacts and lost cities. And sometimes that’s exactly right—as at the mound of Troy, where excavations suggest there may be truth behind Homer’s tales. But archaeology is much more than excavation. It blends science, history, and detective work, using tools like CT scans, astronomical modeling, and even cryptographic analysis to solve puzzles from across the ages.

These 36 lectures tell the remarkable story of a tumultuous thousand-year period in the history of England. Dominated by war, conquest, and the struggle to balance the stability brought by royal power with the rights of the governed, it was a period that put into place the foundation of much of the world we know today. As you journey through this largely chronological narrative you'll see key themes emerge, including the assimilation of successive waves of invaders, the tense relationship between kings and the nobility, and the constant battles over money and taxation.

Byzantium. The name evokes grandeur and exoticism—gold, cunning, and complexity. In this unique book, Judith Herrin unveils the riches of a quite different civilization. Avoiding a standard chronological account of the Byzantine Empire's millennium-long history, she identifies the fundamental questions about Byzantium—what it was, and what special significance it holds for us today.

The story of the Roman Republic is the greatest epic in human history. Seen in the long perspective of time, it seems too fantastic to be real. From its modest beginnings as a convenient fording place on the Tiber to its eventual destiny as the mistress of the Mediterranean, Rome offers a strange tale of fate, sacrifice, and indomitable willpower. The stern realities of war shaped its policies from the very beginning.

In the last half of the fourth century, the Roman Empire began to feel the stress of renewed pressure on its borders as Germanic and Asian tribes moved westward. As these tribes settled, they began to form alliances and to convert to Christianity. But when these very capable tribesmen began to enlist in the Roman military, the empire began to fall under the control of mercenary soldiers.

To an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level, from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a “classical Europe,” using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new audio book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past - one filled with great leaders and writers....

By the end of Diocletian's reign in the opening years of the fourth century, the pagan world had collapsed into the arms of a multicultural religious movement which had spread from the eastern Mediterranean. These were the "mystery religions" which had been in competition with one another for a century. By the time of Constantine, they had spread everywhere within the empire. But one of these religions, Christianity, was chosen by the young emperor.

When Livy began his epic The History of Rome, he had no idea of the fame and fortune he would eventually attain. He would go on to become the most widely read writer in the Roman Empire and was eagerly sought out and feted like a modern celebrity. And his fame continued to grow after his death. His bombastic style, his intricate and complex sentence structure, and his flair for powerfully recreating the searing drama of historical incidents made him a favorite of teachers and pupils alike.

Neue Funde entschlüsseln die Vergangenheit: Das wahre Leben der Wikinger – so, wie es noch nie erzählt wurde. Hier werden die Geschichten der Anderen erzählt – Kinder, Versklavte, Seher, Handwerker, Reisende und Schriftsteller –, die das nordische Mittelalter prägten. Eleanor Barraclough lässt ihre Welt durch Alltagsfunde lebendig werden: einen geliebten Kamm, eine zornige Botschaft auf Holz, Kinderkritzeleien auf Birkenrinde. So entsteht ein faszinierendes Bild einer Kultur, die sich von Skandinavien bis nach Byzanz und ins Kalifat erstreckte.

Mit der allgemeinen geistigen Entwicklung der Hellenen hatte die politische ihrer Republiken sich nicht im Gleichgewicht gehalten oder vielmehr die Überschwänglichkeit jener hatte, wie die allzu volle Blüte den Kelch sprengt, keinem einzelnen Gemeinwesen verstattet, diejenige Ausdehnung und Stetigkeit zu gewinnen, welche für die staatliche Ausgestaltung vorbedingend ist. Die Kleinstaaterei der einzelnen Städte oder Städtebünde musste in sich verkümmern oder den Barbaren verfallen; nur der Panhellenismus verbürgte wie den Fortbestand der Nation so ihre Weiterentwicklung gegenüber den stammfremden Umwohnern.

„Das griechische Europa“ ist der siebter Teil von der spannenden Geschichte Roms von den Anfängen der Königszeit bis zur Alleinherrschaft Caesars und führt dabei in die Gesellschaft und die Verfassung des römischen Staates im Wandel der Jahrhunderte ein. Für dieses Werk erhielt Mommsen 1902 den Literaturnobelpreis, als erstes und einziges Geschichtswerk bislang überhaupt. Doch nicht nur politische und militärische Ereignisgeschichte, sondern ebenso auch Soziales wie etwa die Klassenkämpfe zwischen Plebejern und Optimaten und ökonomische Faktoren finden ihr angemessenes Gewicht bei Mommsen.
