A shame that different from other stories about the house of Thebes (Cadmus,the birth of Dyonisius ,Pentheus,Oedipus,Seven Against Thebes) no complete version of the Epigoni saga survived.
To think that Diomedes was present not only in the sack of Troy but also suceeded in Thebes is crazy.
True. I wish that one day they unearth those tablets. If they still exist
The Theban Heroic Cycle must represent an actual power struggle between Thebes and the Peloponnesus
Thank you Great presentation
Yes. I wish we had more material to look at for this like we do with Trojan war, but between the epics being lost and Thebes being mostly undiggable, we don’t have much😢
Really nice presentation! It is really interesting how the Epigoni war, and the securing of Thebes as an Argive ally sets up the stage for the Achaean alliance of the Trojan War.
True. Looks like doing occasional mythology videos this year is a good idea!
This channel will grow
💯💪
I'm really enjoying the way you've been doing the art and animation style, it seems to fit the subject matter perfectly.
Well done!
Love the way you cover all the historic and mythic events of Greece as well as other civilizations. Both you and Cy are top quality in my book. Keep up the good work!
Wanax TV υπέροχος
Thank you! 🙏
Great video. Thank you. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Congratulations Wanax TV! Χαίρε!
That was excellent. These theban videoed have been favorites of mine!
Glad you liked these! Perhaps more of Thebes will come out this year!
Great video
Thanks. We must get in touch!
I've been waiting for this one! Fantastic!
I dig your animations man. Subbed!
Hope you'll do a proper and complete video about Diomedes' sagas. Guy's prolly the greatest greek hero
Was just reading about this.
So it's good timing!
@WanaxTV you could make a great spinoff episode on the story of Thebans after they left Thebes led by Manto, Teiresias’ daughter. The royal house of Mopsos / Muksu is not mythological but really evidenced in Asia Minor.
Could there be a possibility that the Theban Cycle reflects a an ancient historical struggle?
Imagine if we find tablets that talk about mythical characters like Agamennon, maybe we will in the future view the mycenaeans in the same way we view the shang dinasty
Very possible.
@@WanaxTV any archaeological evidence for that?
@@Massimo2.0-zj1qy There is no evidence of a destructive war in Thebes prior to Mycenaean collapse. Perhaps a military intervention and replacement of a local ruler?
@@WanaxTV considering how scarce information from mycenaean Greece actually is, nobody can prove or debunk that.
2:33 a little overreaction by Antigone
One question! Did the majority of Hoplites had this crest hair above their helmet? Or just the higher ranks? What was the normal thing?
I think all of the hoplites had a crest on their helmets. The light infantry and the auxiliaries probably did not have it. Also, the cavalry men do not seem to have it. I think it was in the Roman army that only officers had the crest in the legion.
@@DemetriosKongas thank you sir!
