One interesting parallel one of my professors mentioned was Armenius, the Germanic chief who took down the Roman legions, and Alexander the Great. Both were gifted warriors, great generals and innovators in military tactics, but both were doomed to failure in the long term. This was because the Greeks, like the Germanic tribes, were a decentralized people, priding themselves on local autonomy. Armenius and Alexander tried to force these ancient cultures into a centralized totalitarian empire. It was like forcing a round peg into a square hole. Greeks always remained decentralized, enabling Rome to slowly swallow them one by one. The Germans remained divided until the 19th century.

Great channel without a doubt. Does anyone know a channel that narrates Plutarch's lives in a similar or somewhat similar way, but covering more of the material. If that makes sense.

It is interesting to see the trepidation with which Greeks approached foreign expansion. A lot of wise people knew it would only lead to trouble. Of course it would turn out later the massive expansion of the Greek world east set up their eventual fall to the Romans.
