As my Patrons will know, and keen-eyed followers on Instagram might have guessed, I've been compiling my experiences from an epic adventure through Greece earlier this year. Walking (/driving) in the footsteps of some of the greatest ancients, we travelled from Athens, up to Delphi, across the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, around the Peloponnesus and back.

Such an Odyssey couldn't come without a video, and the scale of it has turned out to be big enough for several videos!

So with that, please join me on my travels in part one - Boeotia! With Thebes, Leuktra and more, come along to see some amateur footage, but more importantly, a whistlestop history of the sites there to be seen.
