  • Summary

  • In the glittering Aegean of the 520s BC, Polycrates of Samos was a man of unmatched ambition and cunning—a tyrant who ruled the seas and defied the odds. But every rise has its fall. In this episode, we follow Polycrates’ journey to his gruesome end, a story of hubris, betrayal, and the inevitable downfall of the man who thought he could cheat fate.
