Great to see another video from you. You really do bring the details of the ancient world to life for the untrained. I am really enjoying the ancient Greek as it is poorly understood in modern culture, but I wonder if you have any future plans for Egypt or Rome?
Thank you very much! Yes, I will eventually cover different cultures. For now it's just Greece, but I do intend to expand eventually.
im taking a test and this saved me thx
Medea: “But where shall I go, what shall I do?”
Jason: “Frankly Medea, I don’t give a damn!” 🤣🤣🤣
My name is Medea haha what a bittersweet story with a brutal turn.
My name is Medeea-
Wait am i the single one that writes it whit 2 e's?
@@forestrat3887 hi fellow medeea : ) actually the way I spell it is completely different haha it involves a y and an h somehow. it takes typing my first name on to google to find everything about me so i changed it to “Medea” online !
@@medb6503 oh-
Ouuuu She was Shaman woman who used secret recipes of herbs to cure diseases and may be you own science of Medea like her :))))
hi I arrived there because my name is Médéa too hahah with accents !! I'm glad to see someone with the same name because it is uncommon. Btw i'm very proud to be named Médéa I mean it's a really strong and magical women despite that she brings chaos and killed her kids, anyway I feel blessed and very special
Bro come back those pre-socratic philosophy videos are amazing, more Philosophy!
Ha I fuckn knew it she's like Hekate!!
Really good think I watched this just re confirming my thoughts
There was no follow up from her story except that when she escaped some of her herbs fell down on the land that's now known as Thessaly - the land of witches.
She was involved in many other adventures (Theseus and more) and was ultimately granted immortality...
I was recently watching an experienced PhD philologist specializing in Greek and Latin give a presentation during which he mentioned a monument that stands to this day over the site of a well in which a mob of of (and in this I might easily be mistaken - I need to find the presentation and re-watch it) Corinthians who had murdered Medea's sons and disposed of them there in the well. The story went on to detail a threat delivered by supporters of Medea to the murderers that they'd be made victims of a terrible curse woven by her if they didn't build said monument on that site as a form of reparation. It's funny, - this topic, kinda like that of Hypatia of Alexandria - has been popping up a lot in my feed lately and I mentioned the same lecture I listened to in the comments section of another video attributing this terrible crime to Medea just a day of two ago. I need to get onto that and provide a link to the lecture, or at least make a clip of that part and share it here and there ASAP. I will soon, I promise. But it's a school night and I've a Monday looming dark and menacing before me right now. I'd better save my little search for tomorrow.
1:18 There might be a clear chronology in the lexicography, but when I hear scholars say things like oh her name must come from this word, isn't it also possible the word came from her name?
Likely not here when it comes to proper names in Greek mythology - when the person's name has a transparent meaning, it is usually a case of the storyteller giving a name from a pre-existing word. Another example of this principle is "Thersites", meaning an arrogant fellow. If we're dealing with a very very ancient god (different scenario), perhaps there could be an argument for a reverse relationship.
I mean, i get it, but why script in German
4:10 at this point he just summons the anchient forces of darkness
Can somebody tell me two characteristics that describe MEDEA?
After watching this video, I'd agrue that two of her most important traits are 1: Intelligence 2: her will to complete what she wanted to be done
how did she die? i searched in many places but i found nothing about her death
She became immortal...
my second name is Medéa☺️

Medea in diary of a mad greek woman
I want a woman like Medea!! 😍🥰
you're out of luck. They've been extinct for 2000 years.
@@gilgameshofuruk6378 FOR REAL!! It's hard to find a woman like that.
You want a woman to force you marry her cause otherwise she's let her father kill you and then try get you an earlier rise to a throne you were maybe slightly frustrated but content to wait for, by killing the king and getting you expelled from your homeland... who would then murder all your children when you decide you don't want to be together anymore?
spoken like a true satanist. I pray you come to your senses. Jesus Christ is the only way.

Damn, do not marry a witch unless you are fully committed.
do not marry anyone if you are not fully committed, honestly.
Medea was tricked
Unbeknownst to the world , she was a real person and was a real chemist(sorceress) and scholar.
Her works have survived to today ,as did some from the nomadic philosopher Nessus, who contrary to popular belief was not half horse half man, it a man who spent so much time on his horse he was depicted as being one with it.
The tunic of Nessus is one of the first things I learned to make when I began my studies and it's not as mystical as you would believe, but is a very brutal way to assassinate anyone.
The tunic of Nessus was made by soaking a tunic or robe in the juice of Co'nium ( water hemlock) and heracleum mantegazzianum ( aka.giant hogweed, hogsbane, cow parsnip)
When the tunic was put on, the sweat of the victim would mix with the toxic hogweed juice causing the skin to blister and split in the direct sunlight.
The water hemlock would also enter the blood stream through the wounds made by the giant hogs weed..
This water hemlock would then set to work shutting down the internal organs starting with the lungs, kidneys and eventually heart.
The reason this stuff was treated as a myth was so no copycats would try the same shit today!
Magic is an illusion to cover up the treachery of the mind of men and women scorned.
