He's arrogant, scheming, selfish and will shag anything with a pulse.
He's also famous, good looking and an ancient Greek hero.
Meet Alcibiades.
You'll love him but not as much as he loves himself.
It's a classical tale of ego, vigorous promiscuity, shameless backstabbing and phallic statue vandalism.

  • What happened when he ended up in bed with Socrates?
  • How annoyed was the king of Sparta when he slept with his wife?
  • How many stone penises is he supposed to have broken?

The answer to all these questions and man many more are all in episode 24 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
He'd be happy to know that he is a major figure in Greek history and legend of Ancient Athens. Military leader, hero of the Peloponnesian War and the Sicilian Expedition he played a unique part in Athenian-Sparta relations and really annoyed the Persian Empire.
He was a narcissist’s, narcissist so if you are not too busy loving yourself you will love this episode.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
