A Great Courses lecture series covering the Greco-Persian Wars, the conflicts between the Greek city-states and the Achaemenid Persian Empire in the early 5th century BCE. It is one of several Great Courses ancient-history series that commenters list together.
A commenter calls The Great Courses more detailed and accurate than Dan Carlin's narrative podcasts and lists this series among the relevant ones on the subject.

Dan Carlin is fun to listen to but he is pretty narrative driven and loves certain aspect and themes. If people want to listen to something podcast like, that is more detailed and accurate, I would highly suggest The Great Courses on this subject. Here are the ones that I think are relevant:
- The Persian Empire
- History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective
- Greek and Persian Wars
- Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Empire
- Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age
