When you erase history, you erase the scaffolding men use to build themselves. Classicist and Cost of Glory host Alex Petkas joins Nephilim Death Squad to revive the ancient playbook—Plutarch’s lives, Achilles vs. Odysseus, Socrates’ defiance, Cato’s steel—and show how timeless archetypes, rhetoric, and discipline forge better men right now. We dig into why Alex left academia, how “men’s work” can go wrong, and what Rome’s Late Republic (Cataline, Crassus, Caesar) teaches about mobs, money, and power.
