You have made many mistakes and critical ones such as: weren't the Trojans Greeks?!!! They had the same gods, all their names were Greek, they had the same language, all their allies were Greek, yes all of them, and yet they weren't Greeks? You have made many other critical mistakes but I don't have time now. (All the wars of the Greeks since the time of Atlantis were CIVIL wars, YES ALL OF THEM and I can prove it)

coping hard to create a connection between cabeiri and greeks ... and completely ignore its roots with phyrgians a thracian / scythian tribe emerged in anatolia and repeate the same non-sense with etruscans claiming they're actually romans anatolian mother kybele / dindymene / agdistis and myth of attis is the origin of this cult and mysteries ..

Return to Hyperborea.

Excellent thorough and concise

Scythians. That's who the pelasgians were. They were also Trojans. They moved around a lot. You find them in Ireland and Scotland now, among other places.

I just want to point out that many consider and use Book of Psalms as a spell book

They’re known as those who existed before the moon 🌕

Tracian island .

Many are familiar with the famous statue in the Louvre. Nice to finally find out about the island.

This seems great but the sound effects stop the legibility and there is something still wrong once it stops. Listening on my phone.

Very cool! I wonder if there are any Egyptian religious influences on Samothrace. Thanks

Something isn't right with either the recording or the sound mixing or both. Your voice isn't coming through clearly enough.

Great video. Dionysus is one of the most complex deities in history. Please make a video on Hecate!

Thank you for this video. I subscribed. Will continue to watch

The Name is Apolonas not Apollo.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video, thank you.

Is it possible that the pre-Greek Samothracian culture was distantly related to Etruscans - hence the similarity without any signs of Etruscans being there? Or is that unlikely? I've heard that nearby Lemnian is linguistically related to Etruscan, which got me thinking. Great video, just fascinating!

This suddenly reminds me - it's been over ten years since I last read Mary Renault's Theseus novels. I gotta find my copies again. 🙀 Thank you again for another Bronze Age video. This topic remains at the top of my list of writing inspirations 😻

Wow this goes deep, I admire how you've been able to tie all this into a coherent video. Those temple ruins have seen so much, if only the stone bricks could speak, that whole age was a deeply woven religious tapestry that we can only seem to know from the threads that survived. Would you ever make a video about personal book recommendations? Watching this I kept thinking how I could read more about this topic.

Very interesting - thank you so much! :)

0:12 my bro recorded the asmr he was listening to while editing XD

I don't know when people are going to realize that Athena's action was one of mercy and protection... and not a wrathful punishment or curse. It was a blessing that ensured she would never be graped or violated again.... only men would view her as a monster or portray her as cursed

Ares was a skilled warrior in Greek mythology. As the god of war, he was a master of combat and weaponry. Being described as a manslaughterer and is said to have defeated an unnamed son of Echidna and stand for justice, However, he sometimes lacked the strategic finesse and cool headedness of Athena which is the highlighted moral of their interactions. Plus he was so obviously powerful as the son of Zeus and Hera that it he became an easy way for writers of the time to highlight the strength of their hero's.

I don't think it is that different to today. Plenty of cosmetics and skincare lotions are used today. Many Indian and east Asian women use products to try to lighten their skin and European women use products to tan their skin. I suppose at least we use safety testing today. Plenty of people are superstitious today and there are special rituals if you see just one magpie or a black cat crosses your path. And birth control and abortion are used today. Even you read about abandoned babies being found.

wish there was a bit more on the Greeks! This really just seemed to be about Rome and how they were influenced. Still very interesting, especially knowing that Rome's myths were mostly historical, and then they become one of the biggest Christian spots in the word. Feels similar to what we have going on in America. Paul Bunyan, Davey Crockett, and Jesus Christ.

No puppies!!!!!

Just what I’m looking for!

Very good!

Stop, Homer wasnt a guy... ?*

"These amazing practices will challenge everything you thought you knew about this ancient civilization?" Not really. A collection of trivia and entirely lacking any real context. I'd also question whether much if any of this stuff was even peculiar only to the Greeks ?

This sounds like an ancient Xhosa God called Qamata who is a sun/wether God in South Africa who has been demonized by black and white Christians

What are your thoughts on the negative portrayal of Pandora? Was she originally Demeter? Do you think Hesiod used Near Eastern sources for this myth? Linda Sussman argued in „Workers and Drones; Labor, Idleness and Gender“ that Hesiod's 'misogyny' has its roots in an agricultural transition from relatively leisurely long fallow agriculture to a highly labor intensive short fallow agriculture pattern: »And in contrast to Pandora and her descendents we find that the women of the Odyssey and even the Iliad, while inevitably prized for their looks and their capacity to produce a new generation of warriors, are universally valued for the work that they do.« »So perhaps we can assume that Hesiod's exclusion of women from the economy is not "natural" or "inevitable," but that, on the contrary, it represents a change, and perhaps a drastic one, from an earlier situation.«

Super helpful. Love it

Hello Keimelia, I have question unrelated to this episode that I hope you can answer: Did the Greeks and Romans believe that the visible planets in the sky were the gods and goddesses themselves, or did the visible planets only represented their deities (like Jupiter being just the "Star of Jupiter")? I am getting conflicting responses so I would appreciate scholarly answers.

Completely unlike us exposing our skin to radiation to get a tan.

Love the video! I had no idea Greek men were so adamant about staying lotioned up Do you think stories like that of Oedipus take a moral stance on the practice of exposure? If I had to guess, I suppose it dovetails more with the broader idea of fate than on exposure being inherently good or bad from their perspective.

So who else as a child diligently avoided stepping on sidewalk cracks?

0:45 So ancient Greeks were storks? 😂 Those bastard birds throw out chicks for any reason.

I read something about Aphrodite and Google search confirmed it: According to myth, a nail clipping from Aphrodite fell into the Indus River and transformed into onyx. The word "onyx" comes from the Greek word onux, which means "fingernail" or "claw". The most commonly found color of onyx is black; "black onyx" is the most well-known variety. Does this mean the Goddess of Beauty and those that wished to be like her made their nails black? Was Aphrodite proto-punk? It wasn't just the ancient Greeks who wished for whiter skin: According to historical records, the practice of using lead to whiten skin was prevalent in several East Asian cultures, including China, Japan, and Korea, where both men and women, too, used lead-based makeup to achieve a lighter complexion; this practice was particularly prominent among the nobility in these regions

Highly toxic material: *exists* Some Greek woman: "What if I put this on my face?"

The lengths we go for beauty is as old as time I see. I've heard that red hair was a big beauty standard, it's that true?

❤As a keen Hellenistic astrologer, this ancient information about the people's culture, beliefs and philosophy in the Greek speaking world fascinates me. THANK YOU!

In his Anabasis, Xenophone says he dreams Zeus' lightning struck his father;s house. He woke in the morning emboldened to try to get the leaderless Greek mercenaries to rouse themselves to escape the Persian lands.

Cool video! It’s always so cool to learn about the different recurrent themes. It makes you release just how much depth was added over the centuries

Was Dionysus's mother Semele just another name for the moon goddess Selene? I think I read that in Robert Graves's book The Greek Myths. Although I've read his explanations of Greek Myths are out of date and not reliable. Did some Hellenists believe Jesus was Aesculapius? I think I have read this. Great video!

Great subjects as always. 👍⚡

This was very interesting ⚡
