Ancient Greek Military History 490 - 356 BCE

From the Persian Wars to the rise of Philip II, this video traces the arc of Greek military history across one of the most dramatic periods of the ancient world. It follows the age of Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis, the power and confidence of Athens in the era of Pericles, the long devastation of the Peloponnesian War, and the collapse of Spartan supremacy before the rising power of Thebes.

This is a journey through the great struggles that shaped the Greek world — its rivalries, victories, defeats, and turning points — ending on the threshold of a new age, just before Macedon would transform everything. From 490 to 356 BCE, Greek military history is a story of courage, ambition, innovation, and the constant fight for dominance in the ancient Mediterranean.
