it would be good to mention that the genealogical tree of Cadmus starts from Zeus and Io who, transformed into a cow by Hera, wandered all over the then known world to end up in Egypt where she gave birth to Epaphus, the future progenitor of the Danaans. Epaphus married the daughter of the Nile, Memphida, and together they had a daughter, Libya, who mated with Poseidon. Descendants of Epaphus were also Velos, Agenor, Egypt, Danaus, Cadmus, Europe, Lysianassa, Thebes and others. Some sources mention Cassiopi as the wife of Epaphus. The myth of Epaphus, which was widespread in Euboea and Boeotia. From an anthropological point of view, this means the movement of a branch of the Achaeans to Egypt and their return later as Danaans to Greece. Branches of these first movements were Agenor and Cadmus, who in search of their sister Europa whom Zeus in the form of a bull had stolen, so the myth completes its cycle as a fulfillment of the original narrative.
I'm glad you made a video that addresses the fact that there's two Thebes in such close proximity to each other. I've always wondered and whenever I asked my teachers / professors about it they simply could not answer that.
No. The Greeks renamed the Ancient city of Waset, Thebes. The Greeks named the city “Thebai” which was derived from Ta-ope (The Ancient Name of Luxor) which was based & used by the famous Greek Poet Homer who believed that a “Thebes with Hundred Gates” exists in Egypt. Thebes is sometimes claimed to be the Latinised form of Ancient Greek: Θῆβαι, the hellenized form of Demotic Egyptian tꜣ jpt ("the temple"), referring to jpt-swt; the temple is now known by its Arabic name, Karnak ("fortified village"), on the northeast bank of the city. Most Egyptian cities were given greek names after the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great and the Ptolemaic greek rulers that succeeded him. The names stuck in the later Roman period. Ethiopia for example is most definitely not the homeland of the mythical Ethiopians of the legendary battle of Troy. Ethiopians themselves gave their empire that name in the Middle Ages centuries after the fall of Roman Empire.
There's also the story/myth of Danaos, an Egyptian noble, who immigrated with his 50 daughters to Argos, Greece, where the locals made him King. This is also an interesting story implying immigration from Egypt to Greece during Prehistory
Pierre Grimmal mythographer writes of Danaos. A egyptian pharoah's brother sets sail for Rhodes then Argos. he challenges the king of Argos to verbal slinging match, the people chose Danaos , Danaos was the first to make offerings to Horo Apollo in Delphi. not forgetting how the Phoenicians have been written out of ancient Greece history,
Title is misleading, as you started talking about cultural connections between Egypt and Phoenicia, not even answering clearly on question 'was Greece and Egyptian colony?' (it wasn't).
@@kermitdfrogz Dfferent columns, dfferent styles of temples, different gods, different gender roles and laws, different kind of rule over country. How on Earth Greece would be colony of Egyptians, when all those we saw different? Nubis was colony of Egypt - and we see its culture was subject for egyptianization. When Ptolemies ruled over Egypt, we see Egyptias and Greek custom blend together. But we see no such thing in archaic or classic Greece. Greec was not Egypt's colony.
A lot of interesting things here. I think the answer is far more complicated than are they PIE or Egyptian. My issue with most historians is that they often ignore Astro and Geo theology when understanding history and social/culture development.
many 'indo europeans' used the serpent for their symbol, and while they were the dominant warriors, phonecians were better at deceit and trickery. i daresay cadmus' story is entirely true (well, the latter parts). he was a phonecian who fought for and took part of greece. the answer is obviously both, the question is who was the majority and who had more influence? the pantheon and everything early is indo european. phonecian elements enter later with the new sun god apollo taking delphi etc. but the majority in both respects remains indo-european.
I really love your content, but you seem to have located Phonecia and the three cities incorrectly on the map. They are shown too far to the south, next to the dead sea, when in fact all three cities are north of the kineret sea
The TRUTH is this! The Greek civilization is earlier than Egypt's. In the dialogue between Critias and Socrates(Plato) it is mentioned that when the lawgiver and one of the seven sages of antiquity, Solon the Athenian, in 639 to 559 BC visited Egypt, the Egyptian priests told him that in their holy books are recorded, among others, the following: "There were many cataclysms on earth and not one of Deucalion as you (Greeks) mention, and because of these cataclysms certain older civilizations were lost, such as for example the civilization of the Greeks that existed before the cataclysm of Deucalion. The Greeks they do not know this because after the flood those who remained did not know how to write. The Greek civilization is older than the Egyptian, and the Greek, taking into account that which existed before the flood of Deucalion, is 9,000 years old, and the Egyptian a thousand years less years, i.e. 8,000 years. They also say: "You know only one great cataclysm, but before Deucalion there were many other great cataclysms which our ancients recorded." So the priests said to him, there is no reason why I should not do it, Solon, but I will tell you everything, both for your sake and for the sake of your state, but above all for the sake of the goddess who protected, nurtured and educated yours. and then our own place, starting with you a thousand years ago"
I have heard that during the reign of king tut some Greek islands were conquered,also during amenhotep lll reign there greek islands under egyptian control and that mycenae,and Knossos were egyptian names
In the Middle to Late Bronze Age (~ King Tut) there was for sure a ton of contact between Egypt and the Mycenaeans (who spoke Linear B, a PIE language) Remember that there was a huge time gap between the end of the BA and classical Greece i.e. Greek Thebes. I don't do a great job making that clear in the video.
@@darrenjackson1981 There are zero indications for direct egyptian control over any part of the Greek world. There are indications of Phoenician colonies in the Greek islands after the bronze age collapse. Mycenae means "mushroom-shaped hill" in Greek, while the etymology of Knossos is unknown but is reminiscent of the toponyms of Asia Minor. To conclude, stop watching b%llshit US history shows.

Why do you use Phoenician to describe Cadmus? They’re from Canaan. Their own Greek descendants called the Canaanites “Phoenicians” after Phoenix. That makes Zeus Ba’al the Canaanite storm god. Who is also Apollo. Yes, the Stevens were Canaanites and Heracles is Melqart the tutelary god of Tyre aka Ba’al whom Elijah defeated at Mt. Carmel
The short answer is that I used Phoenician because I study the Greeks and the Romans and that's what they called them. In my understanding, Phoenician refers to the city states of Byblos Sidon and Tyre which emerged in the LBA. Canaanite is a similar but broader ethnic term which is not used by classicists. But using it would be fine IMO.
@@Keimelia not doubting you just curious. I had always read that the Egyptians referred to Thebes as Waset, and that it (the city in Egypt) was first referred to as Thebes by Homer, after the city in Greece.

I couldn’t find the source in the wiki you refer to but I’d definitely be interested in reading it!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Gotcha, I am certainly not an Egyptologist You think that the Mycenaean name for Thebes was Thebes? Or that archaic Thebans named Waset Thebes as like honorific or something?

It’s also possible that the Egyptians referred to the city with a second name that sounded similar to “Θηβαι” to the Greeks. This second theory sounds absurd, I know, but something very similar happened with the capital of Lower Egypt, Memphis. The original Egyptian name of Memphis was “Inebu-Hedj” but by the time the Macedonian Greeks conquered Egypt, the locals were calling it “Men Nefer”, and the Greeks transliterated is as “Μέμφις”

Most those myths spawn after dark ages. Thebes is the greek name. The cadmus myth has more root from writing from traders.

It would mean that Thebes was founded by Egyptians or at least people influenced by Egyptian culture.
