Colossus of Empires
The Seleucid Empire was one of the biggest “missing empires” in popular history—born from the ruins of Alexander the Great’s conquests and stretching from the Aegean to the borders of India. 🐘🏛️
Greek kings ruling over Persian roads, Babylonian cities, and eastern trade routes… war elephants on dusty battlefields… cities like Antioch and Seleucia glowing as centers of Hellenistic culture. For centuries, the Seleucids stood between Rome, Egypt, and rising eastern powers—fighting rebellions, rival dynasties, and their own overreach.
In my latest soft-spoken, full-length documentary, we fall asleep to the entire history of the Seleucid Empire:
How Seleucus I Nicator built his realm after Alexander’s death
How Greek and eastern cultures blended in daily life
The wars, losses, and slow collapse under pressure from Rome and Parthia
Put on your headphones, lie back, and let this forgotten giant of the ancient world guide you gently into sleep.
