Courage unseen indeed! Thanks, George.
Well said George!
Thank you George, you moved me to tears. Not meaning to be pedantic, but it was his right arm.
"Courage is feeling the fear and choosing to act anyways." True, timely & worth remembering.
Well timed and important message. Thank you!
Powerful.
Proud to be Greek.And i just see the future Pressident of United States.God bless America. 🙏
Sorry, with all my respect, but you do not know Greek history. You are well educated and rich. But you do not know Greek history. Although you are Greek.
Leonidas had NO choice. He was forced by Spartan law (!!!), to fight till the end. Otherwise he would have been executed, arriving in Sparta.
On the other hand, Demophilos had a choice! He stud and fought till death, by choice! No law was forcing him to stay at Thermopylae. He could have left Leonidas, without any consequences for him! He is the true hero of Thermopylae!
Furthermore, Leonidas did not fight for Democracy. There was no democracy in Sparta. Leonidas was a King. Sparta was a Kingdom. Furthermore, after the Persians were defeated, Sparta declared war on Athens. At the end of this civil war among Greeks, Sparta ended by force the Athenian Democracy, once and for ever. Killing all democrats!
Metaxas, also was no democrat. He was a dictator, who shut down the Greek Parliament! Furthermore, he said OXI, because he believed the Allied Forces will be the winner of the war. He just wanted to be on the right side of history!
What are you proud of exactly? lmao pathetic

Powerful speech. I wish he wouldn't lower his voice as much as he does. I have hearing aids and the volume up high but still miss important words and sentences.
Excellent speach!!!! Congratulations.

These are the facts. Hopefully the democracy and democratic countries will always stand against all those who want to spread fear and drive our lives in a complete drama.

Thank god for this comment.
Dionysios Solomos had a great quote: "The nation must consider national that which is true"
Solomos words' haven't been honoured.

*HappyAlexandros* Most of what you say is correct. However, Leonidas chose to go to Thermopylae on his own, contrary to the initial decisions of Sparta and therefore the "only" choice he had, was his own choice. And indeed, Leonidas and Metaxas did not say "no" to support democracy, but neither is it correct to say: "Metaxas said no to be on the right side of history". He made remarkable military preparations in the past years.
Last but not least, when you hear someone's speech, ask yourself the following question: Is it more likely that he doesn't know history, or is it more likely that he is participating in some kind of (good or bad) propaganda?
@@PlanetIscandar The battle of Thermopylae although heroic was not historically important. The sacrifice of Leonidas was actually the shame of the Spartans for not participating (on purpose) ten years earlier on the most important battle of the ancient world, the battle of Marathon.
The Spartans expected for the weak Athenians to lose so that they would rise.
The Athenians won, setting a defining moment for their young democracy, initiating the Golden Age. It is the Golden Age of Athens that gave birth to the classical Drama and Democracy, the heritage of western civilisation.
John Stuart Mill mentions that "the Battle of Marathon, even as an event in British history, is more important than the Battle of Hastings".
The battle of Salamis, the second most important event was also in large part credited to the genius strategy and cannery of the democratic leader Themistocles.
After the Greeks won the Persian wars, the Spartans initiated the Peloponnesian war which they won with the financial help of the Persians.
Now you may ask what is the reason of all this detail, and the reason is that there is indeed a general propaganda of attributing Democracy to the wrong instances and actors of history.
It was never the Spartans, or the oligarch Platon and his portrayal of Socrates, or the dictator Metaxas that embodied, promoted or defended Democracy. Quite the contrary.
They have their place in history no doubt but they should not be the main historical figures especially on the subject of democracy and open society.
So we should not engage in propaganda but in the act of truth, whatever it may be.
@@PlanetIscandar Thank you for your reply. I still believe, Metaxas was convinced, Germany would lose the war. Greece is a naval military force, England is, USA is. Germany, a continental military force, had no own oil resources. A naval blockade would brake Hitlers neck. As it did. Metaxas did bet on the winner. Despite being politically, as a non democrat, on Hitlers ideological side.
