About this series

16 planned episodes following the order of the book. Finished episodes are added gradually.

Created with NotebookLM and AI voices. This series offers conversations and extended retellings of the book, not a word-for-word reading.

Procopius’s accusations and descriptions reflect his perspective; they are not independently verified facts. Based on the Athenian Society’s 1896 English translation, Project Gutenberg no. 12916.

The series is still incomplete. The generated audio has not yet been listened to in full for a final content review.
