Another amazing video from this amazing channel! Keep up the good work because you're the best! I'm so glad you're doing all this. History is way more interesting that way.
Protesilaus was a half-nephew of Heracles. His father, Iphiclus and Heracles had the same mother (Alcmene), but different fathers (Amphitryon and Zeus). Cycnus married Proclia, a daughter of Laomedon, King of Troy or his son Clytius making him either Priam's brother-in-law or his niece's husband.
That is a clear evidence about the connections between the two armies. The war was not Greeks vs Trojans but Ahaeans vs Trojans. Both Greek kingdoms. (Before they get the name Greeks ofcourse).
I'm surprised. Achilles himself is nearly invulnerable as well since he was bathed in the river Styx by his mother. That should've made him a greater challenge against his opponent. Achilles himself is also half divine, being the son of Thetis.
@@ventsislavstefanov9590 True but he himself was no less invulnerable to traditional weapons. This guy was trained by Chiron himself if my knowledge of Greek history and mythology serves me right. There's a reason he was considered one of the if not THE greatest fighter in the Trojan War.
@@kishoredhar3660 His skills, knowledge and abilities are undeniable, however, when you’re faced with such an unexpected formidable opponent in the heat of battle it can be quite shocking, so the struggle is understandable. He still won nonetheless.
It wasn't civil back then Greece wasn't united instead there were different kingdoms like Athens Thrace Sparta etc they united much later to fend off persians and yet they weren't called Greece (helas) land of light anyway Greece happen much later however the 12 islands in Greece became part of Greece after our independence from ottomans so basically troy war wasn't civil! For example if Greece fights Cyprus it won't be civil war cause we both speak same language cause Cyprus is considered an autonomous and separated "country"
He also faced off against siegfried and frankenstein while chasing spartacus with atalanta. It may not be in the records of history but it still happened.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Cycnus, son of Poseidon. Cannot be killed by spear or sword; arrow or stone. But you know, a good old choke will do the job. He probably just needed some water lol
Word Is... both Achilles and Ajax were furious with protesilaus for daring to steal an honor that belonged by right...only to them. Ajax was one of the proudest, most confident warriors in history.
“Name one hero who was happy." I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back. "You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward. "I can't." "I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret." "Tell me." I loved it when he was like this. "I'm going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it." "Why me?" "Because you're the reason. Swear it." "I swear it," I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.😭😭😭 If u know u know 😭
I was unfamiliar with the story, but when after I heard all the ways in which the other dude could NOT be killed, I immediate;y though of strangulation.
Dardanus was a grandson of Jacob called Israel or Judah. He was the first to leave Egypt before Ephraim after Jacob, Levi, and Joseph died in Egypt. . Dardanus is the first king of Troy and his son is Tros or Troas. Dardanus was also the father of Erecthonius king of Attica or Athens after Cecrops. Canaan also left Egypt to Tyre first before where I think he was King, where he also known as Agenor the father of Cadmus. Also Canaan was a Zeus or Baal.
Historically Troy would have been part of the Hittite empire. And according to the mythology non-Greeks allied with them, like the Amazons. It’s safe to say that the Trojans were not considered Greeks
@@JakeConrad666 Trojans were Greeks in origin and nationality. They had the same ancestors, the same Gods, the same culture, the same language. It is clear in all Iliad about the close relations of the two rivals. Same people, same origin but different kingdoms as it used to be at that era. Hittites have not a single mention in the Iliad. Also, no connection or relationship to Trojans in culture, religion, language or origin. So......no connection what so ever between Trojans and Hittites.

Protesilaus means in Greek "first of the army". When Alexander the Great started his campaign, he visited Troy, and paid honor to Protesilaus's tomb.
