Alcibiades, often considered the most gifted Athenian to ever live, was a fascinating politician and brilliant general from ancient Greece. Alcibiades was famous for his flamboyant nature and continuous switches of allegiance. The life of Alcibiades was so dramatic that it could be straight from a Hollywood film.
But who was Alcibiades really and what part did he play in shaping the fates of Sparta, Athens and the Peloponnesian war for ancient Greece.
An amazing story, told in the signature raconteur style.
