🚩On the surface it is a minor battle in the Peloponnesian war, but in fact it was quite significant. It, arguably, turned the tide of the war and marked the first time that a written record was made of a deliberate use of a cavalry reserve in the heat of the battle.

    🚩I've wanted to cover Battle of Delium for some time, and I finally got the time to do it. On the surface it is a minor battle in the Peloponnesian war, but in fact it was quite significant. It, arguably, turned the tide of the war and marked the first time that a written record was made of a deliberate use of a cavalry reserve in the heat of the battle.

  2. I really dig your channel and content. But I have to ask, what's up with the voice? Is it text-to-speech or is it just heavily edited? It sounds very unnatural sometimes.
