In this episode, we cover the Celtic invasions proper. The Greeks and Macedonians try to defend themselves from the onslaught of the warchief Brennus and his invasion force from 280-278 BC, culminating in the 2nd Battle of Thermopylae and the siege of Delphi that echoes Herodotus' coverage of Xerxes' invasion, while Antiochus I and the cities of Asia Minor struggle to stop the raiding Celts thanks to Nicomedes I's invitations.
