1. Mithridates was a hellenized persian from satrapy of pontus.
2. I don't think that explanation would have ringed a bell in general public. What Stephen fry means is probably a ruler who resided in modern day Turkey.
@ILGAR93 i do understand stephen's point - although I disagree the method.
"Mithridates was a prince of Persian and Greek Macedonian ancestry. He claimed descent from King Darius I of Persia and was descended from the generals of Alexander the Great..." - so it's a draw ;-) (Wikisource)
This shows how good Horrible Histories is, it's extremely rare for a kids' TV show to be on at 6 in the evening on BBC One. The HH team should be proud of themselves, they've created one of the best shows I've ever seen.
hey steven fry don't take this the wrong way but... WE DON'T WANT YOU WE WANT RATTUS WHO COULD POSSIBLY LIKE YOU MORE THAN A TALKING RAT PUPPET?

They should bring back the Rat and make Stephen a co-host.

Thank you for posting! I wish they'd bring the series here to the States. It's not only highly informative but rib-achingly funny. Wonderful.

Mithridates was a GREEK king in 100+ BC :S "turkish"?? they didn't even think about invading asian minor at that time...!!

If I was home-schooled, or had my own school, I would base the curriculum on everything Stephen Fry has ever had.
