This is such a massive accomplishment. An entire history of the Trojan War executed so vividly. Would really love a similiar treatment of the Odyssey and the Aeneid. Excellent work
Eric Shanower's "Age of Bronze" makes this look like the badly rendered thing it is
I’d like to see you do better.
Great for education 😄
Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze is the definitive comic adaption of the Illiad@@KaptajnKaffe

I'm such an avid fan of Greek mythology that I read The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Eaniad & Robert Graves @ an early age. Now I'm in my 50's & still love Greek Mythology whole heartedly. My eyesight is not what it used to be so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating the videos you have for us horrid eyesight, Greek Mythology lovers out here!
Greek mythology extends to Iranian mythology as well, in fact that whole region. It's very deep and I'm only now being serious with Greek Mythology. It would be nice to form a study club for the illiad.
I'm always confused, i read the german book/tale of the "Nibelungen". Equal to this story, you don't know what you reading, until you see some "one of a kind" trope, and it hits you. Trojan horse? Hagen? I know that, and then, you realize that in every fiber of our culture, there's some of the old. You can't erase the past to that degree.
Come read Mahabharat Hindu Mythology 😂
I liked to listen to cassettes when I was going to sleep when growing up, Black ships before Troy was a favourite of mine.
please tutor me, im stuck on iliad
I have read both the Illiad and the Odyssey and know the stories well, this video with its excellent visual and sound effect that accompanies it is very well done.Much praise.
Does this video leave out any major plot points or actions?
Absolutely awesome. This version is unquestionably and by far the best version of the story ever told! This is all five star stuff guys. It includes all the details, nuances, and Characters that other versions leave out. An absolutely outstanding work of history and art. THANK YOU!!!!
No, it's not the best version. It's been slightly altered in some important scenes.
@ThePaganSun I was about to say the same thing. Still entertaining, if nothing else.
Wrong on all points. See my post above. Besides leaving out critical elements of the story (like why the Trojans didn't tear open the horse to make sure there were no Greeks inside), there was no attempt to research and depict the ancient Mycenean Greeks and Trojans as they would have actually looked like at the actual time of the Trojan War. Instead the Greeks look like they were copied from the Spartans in that totally lame "300" comic.
This is better than the movie Troy and does really represent and honor Homer's work, Iliad. Amazingly done, I can barely imagine how much work has gone into this production. Chapeau.
It's more accurate than the movie Troy but not completely. This still has some important changes too that don't match the Iliad.
@@ThePaganSun I'd say it's around 90-95% there, but I can't remember Iliad for 100% anyway, so I'm just guesstimating.
@tombullish3198 This video on RUclips, you mean? Ehh it's closer to 85% - 90% accurate. But Agamemnon's aristeia for example was a LOT more epic than portrayed here and there were other changes as well.
@@ThePaganSun Agamemnon's aristeia, this I remember now you mention it. =)
Exactly ❤
If we did history classes like this when I was in school. I would have passed with flying colors
This is mythology, not history. Dunno if you noticed the Olympian gods and Nymphs and stuff.
@@hagbardceline7118like this is the key in the sentence
@@hagbardceline7118He meant if history class was similar to this
Why would history class be about fictional events
I keep coming back to this series so it's great to have it all in one convenient package. Cheers!
Iliad is one of the greatest books in human history.
I still don't see why after all these years. It still is a boring book with boring stories.
@@rocketmangenesisBoring to those with lesser minds yes
Romance of Three Kingdoms:
"Are you sure about that??"
@@elkingoh4543 that story is so in depth but lack character development. Each and everyone of them is just the same person they are used to be, generals using tricky tactics to defeat greater force
Just love how badass this artist depicts my boy Odysseus! Job well done
Thanks
I strive to be like Prince Hector. A man who did everything he can to protect his fellow countrymen, country, and his family. He’s been my role model since I was 17
Named my first born after Hector and the second after king Arthur.
Same reason, it is important to have strong rolemodels to be inspired by 😁
@@KaptajnKaffe With values like that, your kids have great role models right there in mom, and dad.
@@DickDickstein thank you! 😁
I always strive to be like Achilles-gay, but still able to kick some trojan a$s.
@@GunnerTheTherian I conquer other men with spear by day, but by night men conquer me with spears!! 🤣
This is my 20th time watching this amazing series, this content is pure gold
I can believe i sat 3 hours listening to this without a rest
100% AWESOME 😎😃💯👍🤘I never heard OR seen such quality re-tellings of the epics!
JOB WELL DONE!
This great work! Im loving it! I am SOOOO going to binge watch ALL of THESE!
Seriously...one of the best content I saw on RUclips. Great job. Thank you very much.
The graphics and naration is so awesome, i like this better than any movie
Greek mythology is the best I really do enjoy this story.
That's a great work. Thanks everybody involved in creation of this masterpiece.
I love this. Can't stop watching. It helps me forget the pain in my heart.
I never knew this story of the ILiad. Only the major parts. But now hearing the absolute full story it the beast story in the whole world. So exciting. Thank you for this. I shall watch this over and over again. Shared with everyone i know.
The Iliad only covers part of the tenth year of the war, ending with Hector’s death. It does not delve into the war’s set up and also its aftermath.
This isn’t the Iliad. The story of Troy is pieced together from numerous books/tales. The Iliad covers only a tiny fraction of the war
My Favorite RUclips Series ever.
:)
I love this story its my favorite in Greek mythology
Punctuation is our friend.
@@dugowt9243I forgot this isn’t a comment section instead of a college essay paper dork😂
Love this. Please place time stamps because I keep losing my place while at work on the fork lift. 10/10!!!
Same lol
I came to work today exhausted and exhilarated. What a fantastic narration. I always wanted to read the book but man it appears I robbed myself of this great literature. Bravo Bravo
You deserve a whole award for this video.....Your hardwork will be glorified one day thanks
Thanks! It took me a couple of years to finish this project, so it makes me really happy to read comments like yours
@@SeeUinHistory I will share it to maximum people and email organisations and channels to promote this...
Excellent work! Congratulations. Can't wait for the Odyssey when it's done and Aeniad later. I also recommend and a couple of videos with the returns of Agamemnon, Menelaus, Diomedes, Idomeneus, Teucer, Ajax the lesser (all of them interesting stories and worth telling). Thank you
Ah yes... Achilles BEST FRIEND
The curse was on Paris not Cassandra but how typically male to make it somehow her fault...
Perfection! Phenomenal! I have no words, seriously! Thank you very much! I love your channel!
I like greek mythology more than anything,this is main war I would always tell my family about.
It took me Almost 20 years after graduation and a long sleepless night to get into Greek mythology. Always loved history but boredom is how I became interested in mythology
Yeah bro Greek mythology is pretty awesome as well as the Viking mythology is pretty great to
Please read Indian mythology also
@@Factwithdibakar Agreed. Viking and Indian legends are very interesting. SAme with all the old world ancient civilizations we're learning more about. There are a lot of great channels that cover all these topics on RUclips today. One channel I enjoy a lot is Hammerson Peters, which makes tons of videos on Canadian Mythology from their tribes, fur traders, etc. Not to mention that he also does a lot of stuff about old legends like fairies, old medicine men, and even Bigfoot. 🤓
@@jasongraef2659Irish myth and legend is underrated, though I am glad it is not well known as it is ours.
👏👏 Love it! I totally love that story of The War of Troy (Complete) The Iliad. This is awesome Greek Mythology in Comics. Humanity will be remember The War of Troy action in history!
Listening to this to help prepare me for a test.
very happy with Paris origins
My guy literally blames poor Cassandra for all of Troys destruction 🤣
U spurn a god well u deal with the consequences
What about "if Apollo hadn't cursed Cassandra, the war could have been prevented?"😂
@@fett333this has such rapy vibes! he was upset she didn't correspond his affections and did her dirty. Men
@@maunroeoh boo hoo they aren't real😂
@OnionSoup-yj2pf it might not be real, but either way, myths are a reflection of societies and that way of acting by no means should be acceptable
All because hera and athena couldn't accept that Aphrodite is more beautiful than them
No it's because Paris stealed Menelaus's wife and treasure
What if Zues took the apple for himself and was like "Nuh-uh, I'm the prettiest".
Yeah
Wait it was for a goddess
Absolutely brilliant! Your channel is terrific. Well done!
I can't imagine the time and effort behind this... Well done, mate... Well done indeed
This was so well done 👍🏻 thank you
Absolutely phenomenal 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you 🙏🏾
This is why I love youtube.
I've got no idea why there is not millions of views on this content
Thank you for the completed story ⚔️👍🏻
thanks Ronnie
@@SeeUinHistory no problem 👍🏻
Brilliantly done. Congrats!!! Way better than the Troy movie and the Netflix atrocity of black Achilles.
Gay, black Achilles they had to make it as inclusive as possible
Ha ha, seriously, go to Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, whatever today, and see how inclusive they are toward black people.
(This is a secondary reaction to Netflix and black Cleopatra, who was racially friggin' Macedonian...)
@@dominicesposito7659 tbf, the "gay" part was actually pretty accurate. Patroclus was actually his lover
@@dominicesposito7659Achilles had a male lover
the gods:
"hey I'm kinda bored, wanna destroy troy?"
This was a great story. I loved all of this wars and carols of the Trojan war.
Aeneas is said to have gone to Italy following the fall of Troy. he is the founder of Alba Longa and his line leads to the twins, Romulus and Remus the founders of Rome. another Trojan refugee, Brutus is said to have arrived at Britain and formed a kingdom that with the exception of Roman rule, ruled until the Anglo-Saxons.
I would insta-buy this graphic novel if it had a printed English edition. Beautiful artwork.
I thought I've heard and understood much of this story.
However, listening to this, many things I never knew surprised me.
Love it! I never knew that Diomedes was such a stud!
Dude there’s such a thing as historical comics🤯
This is Waaaaaaaay better than the Hollywood version of the movie.
Now I want to see The Odyssey (Complete)
1997 ?
Ifigenia didn't die. At the last minute godess Artemis placed a deer in her place and Ifigenia served as a pristes in Artemis temple.
thats in other adaptations
@@kanatokrazyActually she only died in the later Aeschylus. Homer never mentions her, Hesiod and the Epic Cycle claim she was saved and even Euripides (later than Aeschylus) also states she was saved.
No, had that god been able to take no for an answer, Cassandra wouldn't have been cursed and people would have listened to her about Paris and the doom he'd bring. Let's not blame Cassandra for rejecting Apollo but rather blame Apollo for not taking no as an answer in peace.
Blame who??? It’s just a fictional story. Unless you’re crazy🤣
@@Me-fm9zk so what if it's fictional? Does it take away from the principle of the situation? Smh.
the most beautiful story i ever heard the narrative is excellent well done
You did a great job with this, I love it. I would love to see something like this but about Alexander the Great and his life story.
Fascinating and well retold.
Fantastiese aanbieding! Storielyn kundig saamgevat en uitmuntende grafiese kuns. Baie, baie dankie!
This video is Marvelous. However, I wish you'd show me where to acquire the background music if possible.
While we learn everything about the Trojan War from ancient Greek texts, the misinformation continues. There was never a war between Greeks and Trojans. There was a war between the Achaean alliance and the Trojan alliance. And according to ALL ancient Greek writers, the Trojans were of GREEK origin.
It honors me the fact that you recognize it brother. I am Greek from Megara and it pleases me the fact that people like you recognize the fact that Trojans were Greeks, who after the cataclysm of Samothrace, the people led by Dardanos, created Dardania, and then Ilios, created the Ilion, also knows as Troy
Great Video.. like a Live Comicbook.. Epic story telling.. Bravoo! 👏👏👏
Bro every other version simplified the story too much thank you for helping me understand "why"..😂
fantastic work man!!! Is ther any chance you could round off the series with the odyssey??? Waiting for that with bated breath!
Thank you for sharing I watched the whole thing even though I watched it before
:)
man this is one of the funniest and interesting stories I've heard in a long time
Request: David and Goliath
amazing work bro, i love these series
Oh boy, grab the popcorn 🍿
this was an amazing trip THANKS
Difficult to think of the epic as just mythology. The characters seem too real. In Hinduism, there are epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. It has been more or less established that the Mahabharata war did happen. The Trojan War is similar. It seems so non fictional. The portrayal of the gods and demi gods could just be deifying of superior humans.
Marvelous Exhibition.
Astutely Entertaining and worthy for the Watch.”
: LEv
The Iliad and Odyssey what great classics they don't write poems like the Iliad thank you Homer
Absolutely great! Thank you so much!
Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter for his own hubris must be one of the saddest and most heinous parts of the iliad.
It wasn't IN the Iliad! It was part of a slightly later Epic Cycle and since in the earliest versions Iphigenia gets saved, it was no more heinous than Abraham almost sacrificing HIS son. And he did it not for hubris but because the goddess Artemis (or a prophet claiming Artemis) demanded it.
Beautifully put together
This was brilliantly done.
My favorite story of greek mytologi
This video is unwatchable because of the ads. Its ridiculous. Every 3-5 minutes there are two 5 sec to 3:30 minute ads. You completely loose track of what the video is even about. Too bad because this is a story I wanted to know more about.
Hi! I recommend you get RUclips Premium, you can watch videos ad-free and still contribute to the work of the creators ;)
When you hear this (a much more dedicated to telling the story in its original version) it's such a different and more rich story. Troy the movie for whatever reason cut out or left out bits critical to the story. Hearing those bits in here makes you think ohhhhh THATS how it was meant to be told hey
Thanks!
This is so perfect!
Fantastic👏 Love your work
thanks
you know what I'm most reminded of and all these stories like this and others? I'm reminded of the number one most powerful evil and the evil that leads to all other evils that selfishness all evils derive from selfishness.!
Thank you for providing this complete version! Awesome
This was an excellent video.
.
Very well done!! Kept thinking this would be AWESOME as a big budget HBO series.. it has to happen eventually, doesn't it?
It would be great if they hired us to do the series!
@@SeeUinHistory Pitch it!!
one could argue that Odysseus doomed them all the moment he hatched the plan to subvert "the will of the gods" by manipulating Helen into choosing Menelaus instead of allowing the goddess of love to do her work. If Helen had not used beauty as her deciding factor, she surely would not have done it again when/if pretty as a picture Paris arrived.
This story was great you should also cover Indian Trojan war THE MAHABHARAT. It's more bigger than it.
Took me a month to finish but how do I like a video multiple times lol
I like to imagine this is just the story people made up to explain a time when all the warriors left for a couple decades. Like the whole sea peoples stuff, I could totally see there being a famine or something and a bunch of Greeks(along with a bunch of other island/seafaring people) went out to plunder their neighbors for all the riches they bragged about having. Taking over all islands, Ugarit, the Anatolia coast, before getting stopped at Egypt. What was left limped back home to find their kingdoms in ruin and possibly invaded by other groups from the north. Writing practically disappears for a while and when it comes back we get a story like the Illiad, totally fictional, but I like to think it was based on a survivor who made it back telling super embellished stories as to where he was and what had happened to him over the last couple decades away. Like if Bilbo left the shire for all that time with the dwarves and they didn’t actually experience any difficulty at all, but when Bilbo gets back in the shire he makes up this whole Lonely Mountain adventure story to tell to young Frodo.
Great storytelling and beautiful images!
Crazy how everything basically started because eris wasnt invited to a party -_-
This story was so much more epic than the one they told in Troy the movie.
Netflix or HBO should do a 1-3 season series on this event ala Sparticus. Could be epic with the right people in charge.
Netflix has a Troy series. It’s only one season. It’s pretty awesome though
It’s called Troy: Fall of a City. It’s similar to the Spartacus type series
it is great work! But it is not Iliad. It is a mix of stories about the trojan war. The original Homer's Iliad is something more than a story. However , it is grest work! Thank you!
I watched the video 3 times to figure out it was eros fault queen helen cheated
It doesn't matter who he pick it will always be a disaster
So far my greatest question is why did Paris choose Aphrodite over both Hera and Athena and why
Yeah I would choose Athena
because he wanted helen
@@kanatokrazyikr? Like duhhh.. op ain't too bright
If I were him, I would've told the goddesses that because of their selfish and heartless nature, none of them are worthy of the apple. And instead, I'd declare Oenone the winner of the apple, as she'd have already given me the greatest gift I'd ever received: her love. Then I'd tell them that I don't care what kind of punishment they try to throw at me, because it'll only serve to prove my point.
@@JStryker47your saying that with the benefit of hindsight. If you were a simple sheep herder and wandered into a cave and saw three gods asked you who was prettiest you would fall to whichevers offer interested you most. For Paris he was seduced by Helens image. and no doubt influenced by her love mojo haha. I could see myself simping for helen too possibly. I mean having the most beautiful girl in the world would definitely be nice yeknow lol
Castor Troy was Nicholas Cage's chatector in Face/Off. He also had a brother named Pollux. Just a fun fact
I honestly feel that Odysseus would have made a better judgement if he had been given the apple.
41:28 …..sunglasses?
I’m sorry, i know they’re not sunglasses but for a spit second that’s what the shadow looked like and i had to say something. I promise I’m not making fun of the art, all the art in these videos is beautiful but that moment did make me giggle.
It really looks like sunglasses 😂
It took us years to finish this saga so, we are happy that you watched with so much attention and especially that you liked it! Thank you!
Oh I love it, thank YOU for uploading such great videos!
Aaah..what a legend ❤️
