=== The Greatest Warrior? (01:51) ===

[00:00:00]  So I'm working on the next Heroes of History video and I've noticed something interesting.
[00:00:08]  Um doing the one about Sargon of a CAD was a lot of fun and a lot easier than probably the next few will be because the sources on Sargon were so vague and so rare, there was so little known.
[00:00:22]  Um the next person I'm going to do one on is very well covered.
[00:00:29]  Uh he's an ancient Greek and I'll let you try and guess who it might be.
[00:00:33]  But he was a very famous warrior and probably the greatest warrior of all time if the stories about him are even vaguely true.
[00:00:44]  And it's not Alexander the Great.
[00:00:47]  However what this means is that it's going to be quite comprehensive because I can't bring myself to skip over any of the details so be warned it will be very in-depth but I hope it pays off.
[00:01:02]  I've been writing for the last four hours now and it I think it's very exciting.
[00:01:08]  It's turning into sort of a mini e-book or something so it's probably going to be well over an hour long.
[00:01:14]  But I really think it'll be worth the time.
[00:01:16]  He's such a fun character to write about that I really think it pays off.
[00:01:24]  I'm only about halfway through his life at this point, so it may well run into about two hours long.
[00:01:30]  So this'll be the sort of one that maybe you want to sit down on a Sunday afternoon when you've got nothing better to do, grab a couple of beers, play a game, put this on in the background, and hopefully you'll enjoy it.
[00:01:41]  Anyway if anyone can guess who I'm talking about then uh please do leave me a comment.
[00:01:48]  I'm interested to hear who you think it might be.
