Episode 431 – Small Conventions

We missed recording last week because we were too busy… going to our favorite small convention. So this week, we’ll talk about small conventions!

0:00:00 Fact for 431

It’s a big year for Greek myth. 431 BC marked the beginning of the (second) Peloponnesian War, the end of the Golden Age of Greece, when Athens lost its dominance to Sparta (and less than a century later was conquered by Macedon).
