Manage episode 373804166 series 1399158
This episode is running on August 9, 2023. But on August 9, 803 Irene of Athens died after a very, very full and wild life. So, we thought we'd honor this imposing, smart and kinda scary lady by rerunning her episdoe today!
Irene of Athens was the Byzantine empress who ruled from 797 to 802 AD. And guys, she was brutal. She was born in Athens, Greece and married Emperor Leo IV at a young age. That marriage wasn't great. The two had opposing religious views in a time and place where that wasn't something most relationships really ever got past.
After his death, she became regent for their son, Constantine VI. However, you could say that she was never exactly going to be winning any Mother of the Year awards. However, she is remembered as a fierce lady. Her legacy as a powerful female leader continues to inspire today. Grab a cocktail and tune in to learn more!
