This is a really good summary, but certain details are actually incorrect (I assume for simplicity). For example, Odysseus doesn't strip because it would help him swim better, he strips under the instructions of Ino, the Goddess who saves him from Poseidon's storm.
Like so everyone can see: Odyssey main themes ________________________________________________ Petriacrhy - the notion that men are superior to women. Xenia- greek idea of customs and greeting protocal. You should entertain/house someone you don't know. Nostos- "homecoming" Metis- "cleverness" that Odysseus generates. ex: polyphemus and "nobody" thing Arete-greek notion of being good at something. restraint: Odysseus restrains his arete by not competing with the inferior phenacians
"Hey giant monster. Oh, sorry for breaking into your home and trying to steal your things. Is it okay if you give us some of your stuff for free? It would be nice if you did. Thanks." Wow Odysseus, next time, ask Hydra if he'd like to have tea time with you.
at 5:10 the "little mishap" with the Laestrygonians actually destroyed 11 out of 12 of Odysseus' ships. obviously, his ship is the lone survivor. so, from there on all the graphics with more then one ship are wrong and all mention of "ships" (plural) should be singular.
at 28 seconds it says Poseidon is mad at Odysseus for blinding his son. Then at 4 minutes we get to him blinding the cyclops so how does that sequence of events make any sense?
@juffan: Greek ships had an "all-seeing eye" painted on the front or prow. The sailors believed the magic eye would guide them safely home to port. There was also the superstition of the "evil eye". The "evil eye" is the belief that if the eye stares long enough at someone, it will inflict damage of harm on that person.
Greek ships were decorated with eyes (as well as nameplates, figureheads etc.) to display the wealth of those who had paid for their construction and also to frighten enemies.
Really complicated to follow if you're trying to understand in a linear story. I strongly recommend starting the video at 2:00 jump back to the beginning of the video once you get to the "story telling section" them go to part 3.
I love how it's like: "They stayed there for a year and got fat," LOL Odysseus mate your son has been searching for you and your wife is lamenting daily! :O
Obviously, the cyclops was a monster, but honestly, they shouldn't have stayed to wait for the owner of the home that they raided. And then expect for the owner (that they all already know is not human that is of equally their size) to be hospitable to them??? Dafuq? I know this is a different age 'they' were living in, but there's no honor in raiding a small village and killing all the residents.
Well first of all I'm a historian and this happens to be my joke account. Second of all it matters, because this is a video to inform us and it is slightly incorrect so I corrected them so people will know.
The video is so that people get their last minute revision. The exact sound of the greek words doesn't really matter. I know greek myself and the words Homer uses can also be used to mean "Nobody"
It a tradition for them to put pain the boats with eyes to display the wealth of those who had paid for their construction and also to frighten enemies. Also it supposedly to help with foggy weather.
they have a made a common error! It isn't mentioned anywhere that Polyphemus has only one eye, but becasue he can only see out of one we assume he only has the one eye.
It's a pretty condensed version for different type of audiences. Some of us just need enough ideas to pass the test. But agreed. They didn't mention cannibals, motifs... better than nothing.
+Duck It's only a summary of the plot so it's meant to leave out a lot of details that aren't particularly important to the understanding of the story.
This has so much wrong info: Zeus kills all of himself men before they left helios' island by stoking them with his thunderbolt. I was using this as a review for midterms but it's really not helping.
+Justin Cottrell I was just trolling for fun, wasn't really serious about it. To be honest, each translation pronounces it differently, so it doesn't really matter, like you said.
my english teacher told us that the greeks found blue eyes like that very foreign and scary! so they had blue eyes on their ships when they would go into war!

Your're right
Karan Garg i thought she same

@Elson Sok Athena changed the winds. Ino gave him a cloth to protect him. Fucking dumbass
@Elson Sok It’s Ino. I read that book yesterday 🤣

When you'd already read all of percy jackson books and you start to link both storyes.
"Hey giant monster. Oh, sorry for breaking into your home and trying to steal your things. Is it okay if you give us some of your stuff for free? It would be nice if you did. Thanks." Wow Odysseus, next time, ask Hydra if he'd like to have tea time with you.
Xenia was a key custom in Greece, meaning that you give gifts to your guests
Xenia my friend
NOBODY'S KILLING ME!
"Oh okay. We'll just ignore the fact that your eye is bleeding."
This is so helpful. It makes the text make more sense.
at 5:10 the "little mishap" with the Laestrygonians actually destroyed 11 out of 12 of Odysseus' ships. obviously, his ship is the lone survivor. so, from there on all the graphics with more then one ship are wrong and all mention of "ships" (plural) should be singular.
certioremfacere i know!!!!! 😮😲 so baad! this will confuse people terribly, should be fixed.
@@platypus8188 no the laestrogonians destroyed 11 and zeus destroyed the last one
Where's the Island of Aelous & bag of winds?
Darwaxion this is the homecoming not the whole odyssey
Who else is watching before their final?
Meesa
Never heard that one before
What about Odysseus reuniting with his mother at world's end?
Bro he didn't speak with her becuz she was annoyed nd shit
THIS LITERALLY SAVES MY COLLEGE LIFE SOOO MUCH !!!!!!!!
mahogany duvall ya... try high school
at 28 seconds it says Poseidon is mad at Odysseus for blinding his son. Then at 4 minutes we get to him blinding the cyclops so how does that sequence of events make any sense?
Katherine Israelyan the books starts in the middle of odyssey’s story and then he tells his story in flashback to the Phaeacians

2:00 why do the boats have eyes

I strongly recommend starting the video at 2:00 jump back to the beginning of the video once you get to the "story telling section" them go to part 3.
Our teacher is gives us a quiz and doesn't let us take the book home. So this really is useful!
Literally just watching this because I’m interested, not for school. Prob the only one lol
👍🏻
I love how it's like: "They stayed there for a year and got fat," LOL Odysseus mate your son has been searching for you and your wife is lamenting daily! :O

The narrator's pronunciation of the names is seriously lacking
Make them say bagel.
It makes me cringe
al sin know us not al sin us
Those boats were actually battle ships, and those eyes were meant to scare the enemy.
Is Aiolos and the bag of winds missing?
In my literature book at school, this is part 1.
same
they changed around the order here
this is really late but same.
i have an eoc this week and this is rlly confusing me.
actually its "no man" not "nobody" as Odysseus' fake name.
Why does it matter, kid?
Still the same meaning and point. I learned it as something like "nohbdy."
Well first of all I'm a historian and this happens to be my joke account. Second of all it matters, because this is a video to inform us and it is slightly incorrect so I corrected them so people will know.
This is my Pawn Shop
The video is so that people get their last minute revision. The exact sound of the greek words doesn't really matter. I know greek myself and the words Homer uses can also be used to mean "Nobody"
***** nah
Odysseus should have his own video game, his story is pretty epic
This is Book VI - XII (5 through 12)
It a tradition for them to put pain the boats with eyes to display the wealth of those who had paid for their construction and also to frighten enemies. Also it supposedly to help with foggy weather.
why do the boats have eys
Who else is here studying for the joy of studying and for the sake of knowledge?
Reading the book now but extra help is always welcome😆
Odysseus should have his own show, something like Spartacus.
I know that part one is books 1-4, but what books are in part two? 5 through what? (:
1:11 what the fuck is wrong with Alcinous's face?
is this a summary for book 2
That being said his story IS an epic :D
they have a made a common error! It isn't mentioned anywhere that Polyphemus has only one eye, but becasue he can only see out of one we assume he only has the one eye.
It does say he is a cyclops, and we know these had one eye.
This leaves out a lot of detail.
It's a pretty condensed version for different type of audiences. Some of us just need enough ideas to pass the test.
But agreed. They didn't mention cannibals, motifs... better than nothing.
+Duck It's only a summary of the plot so it's meant to leave out a lot of details that aren't particularly important to the understanding of the story.
because it was thought that the eyes would scare any underwater creatures.
Well done, thank you very much good sir.
This isn't part 2 is it?
This has so much wrong info: Zeus kills all of himself men before they left helios' island by stoking them with his thunderbolt. I was using this as a review for midterms but it's really not helping.
I watch this for my Tommorow exam from india
So the cyclops just keeps eating the men🤔
7:00
i died and nobady noticed
i died and nobady cared😂😂😂😂
he is an epic hero
Well my test is next period. Pray for me boys
Anyone watching before midterm
no before a little quiz
who else is here before the day of a test/essay/quiz/worksheet is due?
Actually it is something you still something you see in Greece from time to time. The eye is supposed to ward off evil.
This is a mixture of part 1 and 2 btw
i now just realised that rick riordan basically took parts off the odyssey and rewrote them
1:00 excuse me what the hell is wrong with that head??
I thought calypso held odysseus for 7 years
8
no its 7 not 8, there were a few things wrong about this summary.
David Chimezie "a few"
In my translation it’s 7
Don't mind me, just refreshing the story in my head because of a certain yet to be fully out musical... >.>
Oh but I don’t get it ?it’s a flock one huh
It's where the anchors come out of.
Ulysses 31?
That's Odysseus story 0:35
He pronounces Alcinous wrong. The "C" makes a "K" sound, not an "S" sound.
+Nick Vencill I don't think it matters, and the "S" sound makes it easier to say in my opinion.
+Justin Cottrell I was just trolling for fun, wasn't really serious about it. To be honest, each translation pronounces it differently, so it doesn't really matter, like you said.
day before finals gang wya
beginning of book nine is the lotus eaters, hope it helps
@juffan The boats are people too
Anyone else NOT watching in the build up to an exam? 😂 (I’m here for the new Nolan film)
To see you dear :D
Night before the exam xD
to intimidate or to scare away evil spirits
How many men did Odysseus have? at the rate that they were being eaten/killed by a god he must have had several football teams worth.
He is a character in Age of Mythology.
Who else is watching this for your school work😂?
where book 9 begins
Whose here because of Christopher Nolan?
there actually shields
my english teacher told us that the greeks found blue eyes like that very foreign and scary! so they had blue eyes on their ships when they would go into war!
Here for an English assignment
At least that's what they are suppose to be.
3:15 nom
Do gilgamesh next
damn those lotus eaters...
That put me to sleep just like the few pages of the book I managed to read or watching O'Brother Where art though
"Epic"? I see what you did there. ;)
4:47 only one pimp ram in the whole flock fo sheep.
them sirens are really, really derpy
I have a test tomorrow bout this (this is the shit), the whole dang book, I ain't reading!
Fuck
His story is an epic lol
To see where they are going...DUH!
Lol they took a look around and ate some of his cheese
So thankful for this... the play is way too long.
Donavin watching before a6th grade test

This video is inspiring ! I'm inspired to use the words: stultifying, monotone, boring as f*ck...
The day of the project.. :p
