Whenever I watch any of Brad Pitt's movies, I see Brad Pitt in them. Troy was the only movie where I didn't see Brad Pitt, I saw Achilles. One of my favourite movies of all time... Love Achilles, Hector, Priam... Great cast and a great depiction of Troy -> this coming from someone who loves Homer's Iliad & Odyssey...
The problem is all those names are only fictions none of them are true, so you re biding yourselves to false heroes just like Superman, starwars, Spiderman Batman hhh, where are the true heroes in your history ?
@@Reddar1234 Well I don't care if they're fictitious or real... I'm a student of literature so I value the power of story telling and I like fictitious as well as historic characters... I'm not a fan of Marvel characters though... So to each his own...
@@Reddar1234 Just as the guy above me said. They are not fictional characters and the Trojan War was as real as any other war that followed. Superman, Batman and Marvel heroes are completely fictional comic characters. So how you can compare these two types of characters is beyond me.
It gives me goosebumps to think that more than 2500 years after his death, we know his name, and that he fought so magnificent that people thought he was immortal.
@Ayan Kumar and what about the people that made the movie? How do you think they learned of him? It's because people wrote books about him, long before the movie. Told stories about him for thousands of years.
Inspiration on your heroes is the biggest drive Alexander admired >>>> Achilles Julius Caesar admired >>>> Alexander Napoleon admired >>>> Julius Caesar
"Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?"
funny how in the movie every knew that this war would be never forgotten, as if they REALLY said that. They probably thought that it would be just a regular war. Nobody knew that it would have lasted 10 years
I keep wondering what has happened!? THE CGI's have taken the movie industries, super heroes with unimaginable powers now they even turn boring, the dramatic actions have changed to crazy gun's on a crazy super artificial world. I really did enjoy old movies like this more than the new ages
it's because of leftist propaganda which is just so boring to watch. In this movie is nothing "woke". You can literally buy e.g. LGBT positive characters for movies that are just cringe and make no sense xd
I fell in love with this movie at the opening monologue when it said "How bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved". Emotions of a childhood stroy "The Trojan War" gushed through me.
"Sing oh Goddes, of the rage of Achilles, that which bought countless devastations upon the Achaeans" If you've not read the Iliad before, here's a history lesson for you: - Achilles was the single most destructive force on the battlefields of Troy and that includes the God of War, Ares, who was fighting alongside the Trojans. - The movie portrays the fight between Hector and Achilles as somewhat evenly matched. It wasn't. Achilles kills Hector in a single blow. The very sight of Achilles caused Hector to flee in utter fear and panic. Hector, up to this point, has been shown to be able to fight toe-to-toe with the undisputed second greatest fighter of the Greeks, Greater Ajax. - After Patroclus' death and upon his return to the battlefield, it's heavily implied Achilles single-handedly drives back the entire Trojan army (depending on the translation you read). He kills so many men a nearby river is dammed up and flows blood instead of water, causing the river god to attack Achilles in self-preservation. - His rage is so consuming that almighty Zeus himself is concerned that he, Achilles, will break fate itself. - There is zero mention of his invulnerability in the original poem. It's fact that Achilles is obsessed with his own mortality and this is a massive influence in his decision-making process throughout the poem. Wouldn't make sense if he knew himself to be invulnerable. So his slaughter of the Trojans is committed with Achilles having all the failures of a mortal body. And he does all this within a book or two out of 24. Whether there's a historical basis for him or not is debateable but you can't argue he's the most legendary warrior in human history.
Thanks for refreshing the memory. I read Iliad & Odyssey a long time ago... But though Achilles was a great warrior, I happened to like Hector more even in the books... And the same goes for the movie... Both were brilliant but I have a preference for Hector as a man and as a warrior.
if you dont mind , can you specify where in the Iliad it is (just so I can read it myself) I know the story, but I just haven't read the Iliad all the way through
How bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved....woow :) It's better to die fighting like a lion then living a life like a sheep. We love hector as much as achilles
"will our actions echo across the centuries?" Of course, because we influence life after another usually even without realizing it and that influence another and another and so on, year after year. We do make a difference, we just keep forgetting that all the little things add up to something greater for us or for someone else.
If you feel like you have been there before the Troy movie. That means your great great great great great great great great great ancestor was there that time.

@@adcavenger1980 its a long story that every one can read in two books "Heliades about Troyan war & Odyssey about the return of Odysseys in Greece. Of course this is part with a lot of history books that the children learn in high-school in Greece and worths for everybody to read it if its possible. At that age king Agamemnon unite all Greeks (deferent regions) against the Troyans (Greek speaking) that they became autonomous and the city was powerful and rich. The truth is that they didn't let the Greeks to pass with their ships through for imports and exports to middle east and not the Beautiful Helen (Eleni) that her name means the " light in the absolute Dark"
@@adcavenger1980 Ilum is the name of Troy in Greek. The Iliad means Poem/Story of Troy. Adding “iad” at the end of a name shows you what it’s about. Based on the location, they have found Ilum/Troy. The only hard part is figuring out whether or not all the mystical stuff happened. But the war and people were real
To answer to all of you because there's some serious misinformation going on here, Troy was a real city, it has existed and it has been conquered. Troy, nonetheless was a GREEK city. Need I remind you that greece wasn't a nation like we know it to be nowadays. It had city-nations but they all felt "greek". In fact, everyone else was mentioned as barbarian. No, Helen was not the reason of the war. The reason was that Troy was rich in wheat and they needed it. So in conclusion. There was a city named troy located there. There was a war. The reason wasn't a woman. HOWEVER. it's not sure whether Achilles actually existed. If he did, it must have been the greatest warrior of the army (obviously not a demi god), if he didnt, he was either a fictional character (since he's only mentioned by Homer) OR he embodies the entire greek force that was so great. This is yet unknown. The same goes for Odysseus. Now, somebody said something about why it was called Iliad. Well, Ilion was the greek name for Troy. In greek it had two names, both troy and ilion. That is correct. What is not correct is the "-iad" in the end that someone said it shows you what it's talking about. That's as wrong as it gets. The greek title was "Iliada". The "ili" part comes from the word Ilion whereas the "ada" part comes from the ancient greek verb "ado" which means "I sing" (hence iliad is a POEM, they used to sing them). I think I've answered to all of you
Achilles was the most noble and enlightened among the Greeks. He possessed the wit necessary to realise how short and pointless life really is. That is why his war was not about wealth & spoils. It was a kind of personal war within him. He was the most fierce but at the same time the most humane and thoughtfull warlord. That is why Agamemnon was not his king.
None of that is correct. He was absolutely NOT the most enlightened Greek - the reason he fought for fame and honor was because he was born to fight, and fight better than anyone else. Additionally, he knew he was fated to die so of course he knew how short life was. And he absolutely was not a humane warlord. I don't know what could have possibly given you that idea.
@@flightevolution8132 Couldn't better worded. Achilles is no doubt the greatest fighter of his generation. However, I wonder why he did not choose to stay in Greece to enjoy his long and peaceful life. Why did he go to Troy to kill the people he does not even know personally? Achilles is more like a strong strong bully. To me, Achilles is NOT a hero. Even though Hector was not the best fighter of his time, but he was a true hero.
@@peterbanh1364 Why didn't Napoleon stay home and water some flowers in peace? How about Alexander the great? Or Julius Caesar? Nobody remembers the man who stayed home and did nothing worth mentioning. Because, it's not worth mentioning. I don't know any man who didn't at least once dream of having their name remembered for eternity.
Who I was inspired by at the age of 8 years later I got to fly to Greece and visit Achilles tombstone I will never forget this day… I got to visit TROY and it feels weird it definitely matches my energy a lot I can officially I got to walk were warriors were born …. #Greekwarrior #troyachillies ⚔️🇬🇷
Definitely a great movie, and also not a bad historical depiction of ancient Greece and there neighbor Troy, many might consider this to be nothing but a complete work of fiction, told by an old Greek story teller, but this is not truly fiction, and it's historical significance is more important now than ever, I do appreciate this Omage to Achilles, I have always looked up to him, and as a Soldier in the Army, a warrior myself I have always and continue to be ever improving and keep my progress going, warriors like Achilles will always be my motivation.
Great bro i appreciate u r work and the way u wanted to tell about him from bottom of u r heart.....im hoping more kind of vedios from u.....great talent 🙌🙌🙌

Only we the soldier's may truly know the true essence of freedom, of life, and of love, for many of those soldiers who are not here at this moment in time with us, gave their all. They gave thier life for freedom, for the love of their brothers and sisters In arms, for their country, for their be loved ones to have freedom for this day. Let no one forget their ever induring hardships , their physical and emotional pain, their lonelyness, and final sacrifice. They gave their sacred life's for those who will never truly know the true meaning of freedom, love of country, love of a family who will never hold them again.

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore;- Turn wheresoe'er I may, By night or day. The things which I have seen I now can see no more. The Rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the Rose, The Moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare, Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair; The sunshine is a glorious birth; But yet I know, where'er I go, That there hath past away a glory from the earth. Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song, And while the young lambs bound As to the tabor's sound, To me alone there came a thought of grief: A timely utterance gave that thought relief, And I again am strong: The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep; No more shall grief of mine the season wrong; I hear the Echoes through the mountains throng, The Winds come to me from the fields of sleep, And all the earth is gay; Land and sea Give themselves up to jollity, And with the heart of May Doth every Beast keep holiday;- Thou Child of Joy, Shout round me, let me hear thy shouts, thou happy Shepherd-boy. Ye blessèd creatures, I have heard the call Ye to each other make; I see The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee; My heart is at your festival, My head hath its coronal, The fulness of your bliss, I feel-I feel it all. Oh evil day! if I were sullen While Earth herself is adorning, This sweet May-morning, And the Children are culling On every side, In a thousand valleys far and wide, Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm, And the Babe leaps up on his Mother's arm:- I hear, I hear, with joy I hear! -But there's a Tree, of many, one, A single field which I have looked upon, Both of them speak of something that is gone; The Pansy at my feet Doth the same tale repeat: Whither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream? Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing Boy, But he beholds the light, and whence it flows, He sees it in his joy; The Youth, who daily farther from the east Must travel, still is Nature's Priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended; At length the Man perceives it die away, And fade into the light of common day. Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a Mother's mind, And no unworthy aim, The homely Nurse doth all she can To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man, Forget the glories he hath known, And that imperial palace whence he came. Behold the Child among his new-born blisses, A six years' Darling of a pigmy size! See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies, Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses, With light upon him from his father's eyes! See, at his feet, some little plan or chart, Some fragment from his dream of human life, Shaped by himself with newly-learn{e}d art A wedding or a festival, A mourning or a funeral; And this hath now his heart, And unto this he frames his song: Then will he fit his tongue To dialogues of business, love, or strife; But it will not be long Ere this be thrown aside, And with new joy and pride The little Actor cons another part; Filling from time to time his "humorous stage" With all the Persons, down to palsied Age, That Life brings with her in her equipage; As if his whole vocation Were endless imitation. Thou, whose exterior semblance doth belie Thy Soul's immensity; Thou best Philosopher, who yet dost keep Thy heritage, thou Eye among the blind, That, deaf and silent, read'st the eternal deep, Haunted for ever by the eternal mind,- Mighty Prophet! Seer blest! On whom those truths do rest, Which we are toiling all our lives to find, In darkness lost, the darkness of the grave; Thou, over whom thy Immortality Broods like the Day, a Master o'er a Slave, A Presence which is not to be put by; Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might Of heaven-born freedom on thy being's height, Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke The years to bring the inevitable yoke, Thus blindly with thy blessedness at strife? Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight, And custom lie upon thee with a weight, Heavy as frost, and deep almost as life! O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live, That Nature yet remembers What was so fugitive! The thought of our past years in me doth breed Perpetual benediction: not indeed For that which is most worthy to be blest; Delight and liberty, the simple creed Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest, With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:- Not for these I raise The song of thanks and praise But for those obstinate questionings Of sense and outward things, Fallings from us, vanishings; Blank misgivings of a Creature Moving about in worlds not realised, High instincts before which our mortal Nature Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised: But for those first affections, Those shadowy recollections, Which, be they what they may Are yet the fountain-light of all our day, Are yet a master-light of all our seeing; Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make Our noisy years seem moments in the being Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake, To perish never; Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour, Nor Man nor Boy, Nor all that is at enmity with joy, Can utterly abolish or destroy! Hence in a season of calm weather Though inland far we be, Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither, Can in a moment travel thither, And see the Children sport upon the shore, And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore. Then sing, ye Birds, sing, sing a joyous song! And let the young Lambs bound As to the tabor's sound! We in thought will join your throng, Ye that pipe and ye that play, Ye that through your hearts to-day Feel the gladness of the May! What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind; In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be; In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of human suffering; In the faith that looks through death, In years that bring the philosophic mind. And O, ye Fountains, Meadows, Hills, and Groves, Forebode not any severing of our loves! Yet in my heart of hearts I feel your might; I only have relinquished one delight To live beneath your more habitual sway. I love the Brooks which down their channels fret, Even more than when I tripped lightly as they; The innocent brightness of a new-born Day Is lovely yet; The Clouds that gather round the setting sun Do take a sober colouring from an eye That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality; Another race hath been, and other palms are won. Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. Ode: Intimations of Inmortality- William Wordsworth.
Alexander the Great visited the site of Ancient Troy in 334 B.C., as he embarked on his campaign against the Persian Empire, leading a unified Greek Army (Hellenic League). The visit to Troy held both personal and strategic significance for Alexander. On one hand, it fulfilled his long-held desire to pay tribute to his hero Achilles and connect with the glorious past of Greek mythology. On the other hand, the visit served as a powerful symbolic gesture that showcased his intention to unite the Greek world under his rule and carry on the legacy of the legendary heroes. Upon reaching the Tomb of Achilles, Alexander took a moment to pay his respects and acknowledge the greatness of the legendary warrior. Then, Alexander poured oil over the tomb, a customary practice in ancient Greek funerary rituals, symbolizing purification and sanctification. He also placed garlands of flowers and foliage on the tomb, signifying honor and respect for the deceased. Next, Alexander and Hephaestion sacrificed animals, likely horses, to honor the spirits of Achilles and Patroclus. This ritual was meant to appease the souls of the dead and seek their favor. Finally, Alexander is believed to have organized athletic games at the site, following the ancient Greek tradition of hosting such competitions in memory of deceased heroes. By paying homage to Achilles, Alexander was reinforcing his connection to the heroic past and legitimizing his claim to lead the Greek world. After Troy and his first victory at the battle of the Granicus, while leading a unified Greek Army (Hellenic League) to avenge the Persian invasions in Greece 150 years prior, Alexander the Great sent 300 suits of full Persian armour (to honor the legendary last stand of the 300 Spartans in Thermopylae) to Athens, as a votive offering to Goddess Athena, to be hung on the Acropolis. He ordered an inscription to be fixed over them; “Alexander, son of Philip and all the Greeks, present this offering from the spoils taken from the barbarians inhabiting Asia". A statue group, known as the Granicus Monument, was erected by Alexander in the sanctuary of Zeus at Dion. This consisted of bronze statues by Lysippus, of Alexander with twenty-five of his companions who had died in the initial cavalry charge, all on horseback. Alexander the Great is a sacred, immortal, legendary figure for us Greeks. Mostly for uniting all Greek City States and Kingdoms and spreading the unique Hellenic culture to the edges of the world. The rightful descendant of legendary Achilles. Eternal Hellas 🔥🇬🇷

Troy is an epic and the character achilles written and played perfectly
"Sing oh Goddes, of the rage of Achilles, that which bought countless devastations upon the Achaeans"
If you've not read the Iliad before, here's a history lesson for you:
- Achilles was the single most destructive force on the battlefields of Troy and that includes the God of War, Ares, who was fighting alongside the Trojans.
- The movie portrays the fight between Hector and Achilles as somewhat evenly matched. It wasn't. Achilles kills Hector in a single blow. The very sight of Achilles caused Hector to flee in utter fear and panic.

- After Patroclus' death and upon his return to the battlefield, it's heavily implied Achilles single-handedly drives back the entire Trojan army (depending on the translation you read). He kills so many men a nearby river is dammed up and flows blood instead of water, causing the river god to attack Achilles in self-preservation.
- His rage is so consuming that almighty Zeus himself is concerned that he, Achilles, will break fate itself.
- There is zero mention of his invulnerability in the original poem. It's fact that Achilles is obsessed with his own mortality and this is a massive influence in his decision-making process throughout the poem. Wouldn't make sense if he knew himself to be invulnerable. So his slaughter of the Trojans is committed with Achilles having all the failures of a mortal body.
And he does all this within a book or two out of 24. Whether there's a historical basis for him or not is debateable but you can't argue he's the most legendary warrior in human history.

No, Helen was not the reason of the war. The reason was that Troy was rich in wheat and they needed it.
So in conclusion. There was a city named troy located there. There was a war. The reason wasn't a woman. HOWEVER. it's not sure whether Achilles actually existed. If he did, it must have been the greatest warrior of the army (obviously not a demi god), if he didnt, he was either a fictional character (since he's only mentioned by Homer) OR he embodies the entire greek force that was so great. This is yet unknown. The same goes for Odysseus.
Now, somebody said something about why it was called Iliad. Well, Ilion was the greek name for Troy. In greek it had two names, both troy and ilion. That is correct. What is not correct is the "-iad" in the end that someone said it shows you what it's talking about. That's as wrong as it gets. The greek title was "Iliada". The "ili" part comes from the word Ilion whereas the "ada" part comes from the ancient greek verb "ado" which means "I sing" (hence iliad is a POEM, they used to sing them). I think I've answered to all of you
You gave me peace in a lifetime of war !!
Subham Chatterjee he had now fallen in love with... 'the damn girl by Agamnon
Let me praise whoever edited this great video.Everything is on point so keep it up ! 🤘
Literally this is my 1st english movie i was watched..and became a fan of Brad😍😍
Proud to be an Hellin , Offspring of Achilles, Alexander the Great and Kolokotrones !!!
You have gteat videos especially about Alexander the Great , please make more videos about achilles and soundtrack from the movie Troy
Thanks.
Achilles was the most noble and enlightened among the Greeks. He possessed the wit necessary to realise how short and pointless life really is. That is why his war was not about wealth & spoils. It was a kind of personal war within him. He was the most fierce but at the same time the most humane and thoughtfull warlord. That is why Agamemnon was not his king.
None of that is correct. He was absolutely NOT the most enlightened Greek - the reason he fought for fame and honor was because he was born to fight, and fight better than anyone else. Additionally, he knew he was fated to die so of course he knew how short life was. And he absolutely was not a humane warlord. I don't know what could have possibly given you that idea.
@@flightevolution8132 Couldn't better worded. Achilles is no doubt the greatest fighter of his generation. However, I wonder why he did not choose to stay in Greece to enjoy his long and peaceful life. Why did he go to Troy to kill the people he does not even know personally? Achilles is more like a strong strong bully. To me, Achilles is NOT a hero.
Even though Hector was not the best fighter of his time, but he was a true hero.
@@peterbanh1364 Why didn't Napoleon stay home and water some flowers in peace? How about Alexander the great? Or Julius Caesar?
Nobody remembers the man who stayed home and did nothing worth mentioning. Because, it's not worth mentioning. I don't know any man who didn't at least once dream of having their name remembered for eternity.
@@peterbanh1364 You are Goofy ASF !!! 🤡🤣
This compilation is a beautiful 💞💞💞💘💘💘💘 masterpiece...
Brad is superb and best suited in this epic... His second most suited is fury... Masterpiece is his discipline... Legend for a reason 🙏🙏
Who I was inspired by at the age of 8 years later I got to fly to Greece and visit Achilles tombstone I will never forget this day… I got to visit TROY and it feels weird it definitely matches my energy a lot I can officially I got to walk were warriors were born ….
#Greekwarrior #troyachillies ⚔️🇬🇷
Did you go to snake island? That is where Achilles' ashes are buried.
you gotta give brad pitt a huge credit for doing an amazing portraying ACHILLES
Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite Greek hero . Disney and history books is the reason.
Definitely a great movie, and also not a bad historical depiction of ancient Greece and there neighbor Troy, many might consider this to be nothing but a complete work of fiction, told by an old Greek story teller, but this is not truly fiction, and it's historical significance is more important now than ever, I do appreciate this Omage to Achilles, I have always looked up to him, and as a Soldier in the Army, a warrior myself I have always and continue to be ever improving and keep my progress going, warriors like Achilles will always be my motivation.
This is a masterpiece.
Most amazing tribute video!

As a soldier of 44 years these word be true to all my brothers and sisters In arms form the past, the present, and for the future. Only we the soldier's may truly know the true essence of freedom, of life, and of love, for many of those soldiers who are not here at this moment in time with us, gave their all. They gave thier life for freedom, for the love of their brothers and sisters In arms, for their country, for their be loved ones to have freedom for this day. Let no one forget their ever induring hardships , their physical and emotional pain, their lonelyness, and final sacrifice. They gave their sacred life's for those who will never truly know the true meaning of freedom, love of country, love of a family who will never hold them again.
Mere mortals die, Legends never die, Legends are Immortal!
For me Achilles is the greatest warrior ever ..
Αχιλλέας . Τελεία. Αχιλλέας !!!

Troy is one of a kind from God eyes as Brad is the greatest actor that shines that I admire and love ❤😊🔥💯😇🙏🫶🙌👏😘🌟😉
And the Irony is that Brad Pitt said recently, he regrets doing Troy as he it was the movie where audiences is like "Here is the hero".
That's because he got old, he got very humble
the best film at the turn of the decade
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;-
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day.
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
The Rainbow comes and goes,
And lovely is the Rose,
The Moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare,
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious birth;
But yet I know, where'er I go,
That there hath past away a glory from the earth.
Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song,
And while the young lambs bound
As to the tabor's sound,
To me alone there came a thought of grief:
A timely utterance gave that thought relief,
And I again am strong:
The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep;
No more shall grief of mine the season wrong;
I hear the Echoes through the mountains throng,
The Winds come to me from the fields of sleep,
And all the earth is gay;
Land and sea
Give themselves up to jollity,
And with the heart of May
Doth every Beast keep holiday;-
Thou Child of Joy,
Shout round me, let me hear thy shouts, thou happy Shepherd-boy.
Ye blessèd creatures, I have heard the call
Ye to each other make; I see
The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee;
My heart is at your festival,
My head hath its coronal,
The fulness of your bliss, I feel-I feel it all.
Oh evil day! if I were sullen
While Earth herself is adorning,
This sweet May-morning,
And the Children are culling
On every side,
In a thousand valleys far and wide,
Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm,
And the Babe leaps up on his Mother's arm:-
I hear, I hear, with joy I hear!
-But there's a Tree, of many, one,
A single field which I have looked upon,
Both of them speak of something that is gone;
The Pansy at my feet
Doth the same tale repeat:
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing Boy,
But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,
He sees it in his joy;
The Youth, who daily farther from the east
Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended;
At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own;
Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,
And, even with something of a Mother's mind,
And no unworthy aim,
The homely Nurse doth all she can
To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,
Forget the glories he hath known,
And that imperial palace whence he came.
Behold the Child among his new-born blisses,
A six years' Darling of a pigmy size!
See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,
Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,
With light upon him from his father's eyes!
See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learn{e}d art
A wedding or a festival,
A mourning or a funeral;
And this hath now his heart,
And unto this he frames his song:
Then will he fit his tongue
To dialogues of business, love, or strife;
But it will not be long
Ere this be thrown aside,
And with new joy and pride
The little Actor cons another part;
Filling from time to time his "humorous stage"
With all the Persons, down to palsied Age,
That Life brings with her in her equipage;
As if his whole vocation
Were endless imitation.
Thou, whose exterior semblance doth belie
Thy Soul's immensity;
Thou best Philosopher, who yet dost keep
Thy heritage, thou Eye among the blind,
That, deaf and silent, read'st the eternal deep,
Haunted for ever by the eternal mind,-
Mighty Prophet! Seer blest!
On whom those truths do rest,
Which we are toiling all our lives to find,
In darkness lost, the darkness of the grave;
Thou, over whom thy Immortality
Broods like the Day, a Master o'er a Slave,
A Presence which is not to be put by;
Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might
Of heaven-born freedom on thy being's height,
Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke
The years to bring the inevitable yoke,
Thus blindly with thy blessedness at strife?
Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight,
And custom lie upon thee with a weight,
Heavy as frost, and deep almost as life!
O joy! that in our embers
Is something that doth live,
That Nature yet remembers
What was so fugitive!
The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction: not indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest;
Delight and liberty, the simple creed
Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:-
Not for these I raise
The song of thanks and praise
But for those obstinate questionings
Of sense and outward things,
Fallings from us, vanishings;
Blank misgivings of a Creature
Moving about in worlds not realised,
High instincts before which our mortal Nature
Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised:
But for those first affections,
Those shadowy recollections,
Which, be they what they may
Are yet the fountain-light of all our day,
Are yet a master-light of all our seeing;
Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make
Our noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake,
To perish never;
Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour,
Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy,
Can utterly abolish or destroy!
Hence in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither,
Can in a moment travel thither,
And see the Children sport upon the shore,
And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.
Then sing, ye Birds, sing, sing a joyous song!
And let the young Lambs bound
As to the tabor's sound!
We in thought will join your throng,
Ye that pipe and ye that play,
Ye that through your hearts to-day
Feel the gladness of the May!
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
And O, ye Fountains, Meadows, Hills, and Groves,
Forebode not any severing of our loves!
Yet in my heart of hearts I feel your might;
I only have relinquished one delight
To live beneath your more habitual sway.
I love the Brooks which down their channels fret,
Even more than when I tripped lightly as they;
The innocent brightness of a new-born Day
Is lovely yet;
The Clouds that gather round the setting sun
Do take a sober colouring from an eye
That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality;
Another race hath been, and other palms are won.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
Ode: Intimations of Inmortality- William Wordsworth.

Alexander the Great visited the site of Ancient Troy in 334 B.C., as he embarked on his campaign against the Persian Empire, leading a unified Greek Army (Hellenic League).
The visit to Troy held both personal and strategic significance for Alexander. On one hand, it fulfilled his long-held desire to pay tribute to his hero Achilles and connect with the glorious past of Greek mythology.
On the other hand, the visit served as a powerful symbolic gesture that showcased his intention to unite the Greek world under his rule and carry on the legacy of the legendary heroes.
Upon reaching the Tomb of Achilles, Alexander took a moment to pay his respects and acknowledge the greatness of the legendary warrior.
Then, Alexander poured oil over the tomb, a customary practice in ancient Greek funerary rituals, symbolizing purification and sanctification.
He also placed garlands of flowers and foliage on the tomb, signifying honor and respect for the deceased.
Next, Alexander and Hephaestion sacrificed animals, likely horses, to honor the spirits of Achilles and Patroclus. This ritual was meant to appease the souls of the dead and seek their favor.
Finally, Alexander is believed to have organized athletic games at the site, following the ancient Greek tradition of hosting such competitions in memory of deceased heroes.
By paying homage to Achilles, Alexander was reinforcing his connection to the heroic past and legitimizing his claim to lead the Greek world.
After Troy and his first victory at the battle of the Granicus, while leading a unified Greek Army (Hellenic League) to avenge the Persian invasions in Greece 150 years prior, Alexander the Great sent 300 suits of full Persian armour (to honor the legendary last stand of the 300 Spartans in Thermopylae) to Athens, as a votive offering to Goddess Athena, to be hung on the Acropolis.
He ordered an inscription to be fixed over them; “Alexander, son of Philip and all the Greeks, present this offering from the spoils taken from the barbarians inhabiting Asia".
A statue group, known as the Granicus Monument, was erected by Alexander in the sanctuary of Zeus at Dion. This consisted of bronze statues by Lysippus, of Alexander with twenty-five of his companions who had died in the initial cavalry charge, all on horseback.
Alexander the Great is a sacred, immortal, legendary figure for us Greeks. Mostly for uniting all Greek City States and Kingdoms and spreading the unique Hellenic culture to the edges of the world. The rightful descendant of legendary Achilles.
