Thank you so much man! I tried something slightly different in this episode. I plan to continue with the "Who was" series, perhaps every other week or so.
@@WanaxTV sweet, looking forward to it!
Hey dumb mythology wasn't greek but Pelasgian.By Herodote Greeks addopted the Gods from Pelasgians.
Odysseus was Ion-as(mean ours) and his name mean"the traveler who watching things always by two options)
Gift by Albanian language,the only Pelasgian language which is still a live.
Is that what they teach you in school?
@@nikolavasilic2972 hey sclavo or greco
Learn:
Herodote book II p.50-53
"Greeks don't know today i am writines this,
that what is the origin of each God.
If they have lived forever and what form did they have.
The names of the saints that Egyptians don't know,
Greeks addopted them from Pelasgians."
Great Greek Encyklopedia
Athens 1932 Vol.19 p.873
"Therefore,the ancestors of present Albanians,the Pelasgians,lived during the prehistoric periods in the larger part of the world then known,developing very important civilization,building works of outstanding value."
....now this we learn in schools!!

Excellent.... just discovered your mini documentaries. The use of the map is very visual and says more than volumes of text. Again...Excellent
Just found your channel. Great content keep it up
Thank you, much appreciated! New video comes out every Saturday!
Awesome video. Love from Greece
Thank you, much appreciated!
Great video, I’ve always found it confusing how he supposedly only ruled over the tiny island of Ithaca (modern island with that name)
Really, given the significance of Sparta and it's king, you should include it on your map. The boy goes there for help. In the story, Ithaca was an island to the west of kephalonia, recent theories suggest it was what is now the Paliki peninsula which at the time was cut off by a channel in the narrowing. I am only at 2:07 but I will watch the whole video. There is a good study on this, a book and youtube channel called "Odysseus unbound", any who enjoy Odysseus should check that out. I have subscribed to your channel. I see you include Sparta later in the video.
Hello from Greece!!
Great content...!!
Keep on going!!!
Thank you brother, I really appreciate it! 💯🇬🇷
@@WanaxTV I m from the region of eani.. the ancient kingdom of elimia Macedonia close to the borders with Thessaly...
First wife of Philip the second Phila and Antigonus Monopthalmus was from here...
Many horsemen of Alexander the Great came from here and the taxis of elimiote of around 1.500 men serve Alexander's army...
The region still today have many horses, People still bread them...
And elimia region has artifacts from around 14 century BC proving the continuous connection between Macedonia and South Greece...
😊😊
@@LOKgr That's interesting! I haven't researched much about Elimia, although I went through its geography when I was designing the map.
Hopefully I'll make some content on it as well as the other surrounding regions, it's very interesting.
Thanks brother.
What a great history teacher/ Professor if you are already not one, and really amazing fun ways to learn importance
A Mycenaean royal tholos tomb was excavated at Tzannata near Poros in Kephalonia in 1991.
It would seem that this Mycenaean centre of power is the best candidate for being Odysseus’ Ithaka.
Thanks
Very good work. Thank You. At first I thought that this would be a fictious story, but I am pleased as it has substance, and is further leading me to believe that Troy was real. I am beginning to believe that The Iliad is a song of victory. Like The Star Spangled Banner.
An anthem that takes 8-14 hours to sing? god I would hate to be a spectator at their sporting events. lol
Solid
I thought Odysseus wasn't real but boy was I wrong, thanks for explaining :)
It's particular how in the odissey we can read all the elements of the bronze age and the mycenaean civilization collapse, not only there, in all the nostoi: the kings returning from the war, find a unstable political situation, many are overthrown, others are forced to flee, Ulysses can't come back home, and when he return "late, and badly, on a foreign vessel, lost the fleet, lost the companions" he find his palace occupied by the nobles who wanna take his place, and even marry his wife (the new oligarchy that push to kick out the old kings?... Local revolts? In several mycenaean palace there are tracks of fire, not only from outside attacks but also from inside, to the granaries for example, the peoples? And the mass grave who someone tell is been found in mycenae? Is that true? With 30 skeletons or so? It fit vaguely with the agamennon and his companions end), in Homer world seems that the power come from marring the queen too, agamennon and menelaus take the kingdom marring the daughters of the king of Sparta, same the nobles with odisseus tried to, I m not saying Odysseus, agamennon, Achilles, really existed, absolutely, the sagas are a mix of historical and fantastical facts, but the context, the environment, made of palaces, mutual diplomatic relations between the kings (its clear by the complex of roads and by the majestity of the palace that whoever lived in mycenae was the most powerful of the kings...), that the dimension, the environment, is historical. Surely Homer put in it some element of his age, he wasn't an archeologist, but a story teller, but these legends are the echoes of a lost memory I guess. If you can soon or later talk about the nearby Italian and Adriatic cultures that interacted with the achaeans, like the thapsos culture in Sicily, a mycenaean outpost maybe, or the terramare culture in Italy, that on the amber road did commerce the amber to the mycenaean too from the Adriatic sea and the balkans. All these cultures coming back from the Neolithic Italy heritage, extinguished in the same years of the mycenaean ones, like if a death plague arrived and exterminated them all, depopulating the villages, and their regions, the terramare culture area in the po River shores will reach this amount of populations only 1000 years later in Roman times...
That is hard to read, man. ;)
Homer got a lot right, but a lot wrong. It's doubtful that he got any geopolitical details right as whet we know, he mostly got incorrect, Phrygia and Lydia for one. neither existed at the time of the Trojan war but were big players in Homer's time. He also got some small details wrong like the number of spokes on a chariot, but then redeems himself with descriptions of armor and donning it. In all, homer is a good resource until you have better, but I would never ever take him as gospel. he was more of an anachronist than a proper historian.
8.28 Ίcaros , with the stress on the first syllable.
What do you make of the hypothesis that the Ithaca of Odysseus is a different place from the island of Ithaca because it doesn't match the description in Homer's Odyssey?
i am in greece
Odysseus is the Only Man Achilles Considered an Equal....I’m a amateur history buff,Great Channel👏👏👍👍

Odessyeus a Greek hero

I would love to move to Ithaka or Cephallonia. America is turning into the middle east.
to everybody who dont know pelasgians are greek but they spoke a non greek language
They were not ''Greek'', but they did contribute to the Helladic culture
Your voice is to low can barely hear you over the music and sound effects
