Unfortunately this video is depicting Memnon and his geniology wrong. Memnon not described nor is he depicted as a black Nubian African character in Hellenic mythology or culture.

This video is wrong. Memnon is NOT described or depicted as a Nubian African character in Hellenic mythology. The mythical kingdom of Aethiopia from Hellenic Mythology has nothing to do with Africa.

@@RichardTHCS I don’t care about that. The guy got Memnon’s title wrong. Memnon never got to be king cuz he died in the War before his dad

@@aranha6285 well he did became king. His dad had already gave the throne to Emathion. Before the war Emathion was killed by Heracles. And when Memnon came back from the Esperidis he became king For more than 10 years then he joined the war at it's end. What are you talking about??

Philostratus of Lemnos literally stated that Memnon was black in Homer. How many accounts do you have?

@@agentofchaos7456 Philostratus lived in a time Rome was controlled and they would rationalized and romanticize the stories in the 2ed century AD. The original older Greek version which Memnon originates from has nothing to do with Africa.

@@VikingElf Philostratus was describing a scene depicted in Homer. He was probably talking about the lost poem Aethiopis.

Nope not really. Hector knowing he could not win Achilles, started to run away from the battle.

@@EudaimonV Read the Iliad. You're right, he was afraid because he knew the gods were against him, but he finally made a stand and at one point in the battle he struck Achilles dead on in the chest with an attack that would have killed him had he not been wearing the enchanted armor of Hephaestus. Homer stated as much in the story that if it was regular armor the attack would have gone through it. Was it a lucky strike? Maybe, but Hector was the greatest warrior on the field without divine blood so who knows.

@@thullraven1 Again you are wrong. Hector doesn't know of any interference. Yes Hector is the best mortal warrior Achilles ever faced but not the best warrior. Memnon is better. Secondly Hector ran and he was tricked by Athena who transformed herself into Hector's brother Deiphobus and that gave him courage to fight Achilles again asking his brother for a spear.

@@EudaimonV I wish I could copy and paste the part where Homer says what I stated. Hector saw one of the gods retrieve the spear for Achilles and when he asked the image he thought was his brother to retrieve his spear, he found out the image wasn't really there and no one retrieved his spear, so yeah Hector knew the gods had decided his fate. I'm in my 60s and have read the Iliad more times than I can count as it's part of my ancestry, history, and upbringing. Everything you said is correct but so is what I said. Bringing up Memnon is pointless. I stated Hector was the best MORTAL warrior. Memnon was also part divine like Achilles so he doesn't count. No need to talk about this further. Please move on. Thank you. Have a good day.

@@thullraven1 He spoke, and launch'd his javelin at the foe, But Hector shunn'd the meditated blow. He stoop'd, while o'er his head the flying spear, Sang innocent, and spent its force in air. Athena watch'd it falling on the land, Then drew, and gave to great Achilles' hand, Unseen of Hector, who, elate with joy, Now shakes his lance, and braves the dread of Troy.

No. Memnon has nothing to do with Africa. The kingdom of Axum came almost one thousand years later. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian Sub Saharan character in Hellenic mythology. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie.

Now you know. Do better research and read Hellenic mythology. Glad I could help.

There are historical accounts and DNA evidence showing that Black Africans existed in ancient Greece.

Exactly. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. The Mythical kingdom of Aethiopia has nothing to do with Africa. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie.

Well for starters Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. It would be wrong again making Memnon a African Nubian character just like they did it with Achilles in the Netflix series. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Not explaining much. Secondly they did it because Achilles is more important and known in Hellenic mythology and to the world. That's why.

Now you know. Glad I could help.

Ignore Eudaimon. He is a racist who doesn't know much about Hellenic history and mythology.

No. First of all this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Secondly Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. Thirdly Achilles was a better warrior. The God's did not interfered.

Now you know. Glad I could help.

No not really. Memnon Andromeda are NOT described being African Nubian characters in Hellenic mythology. The Mythical kingdom of Aethiopia from Hellenic Mythology has nothing to do with Africa or the country we know today as Ethiopia. Andromeda and Memnon do NOT exist in African history mythology or culture. Do some research and respect Hellenic culture.

@@EudaimonV LOL you sound racist (emphasis added) racism is high on emotion, and illogical (emphasis added) When was Homer born? When was Herodotus Born? When were you born? Cut and Paste "Herodotus describes two tall statues with Egyptian and Aethiopian dress that some, he says, identify as Memnon" The battle of Troy, The Epic of Gilgamesh loosely based on real events.. So if you go by Herodotus I would go with Nubia, one of us has a history degree. I would put a thousand dollars on your cash app if you could show you took a world civilization class in a city college and passed with a C or higher.

​​​@@signalhilltv5237it's clear you have no knowledge. First of all Homer created the mythical kingdom of Aethiopia from Hellenic Mythology. Herodotus would later determine the Geographical term of Aethiopia South of Egypt and Libya. Learn the difference between history geography and mythology. The two statues you speak of are the colossi of Memnon and we're called that way by the Romans. But the statues do not represent Memnon. It is the Egyptian Pharaoh called Amenhotep the third. Learn history education yourself travel the world. I'm sure you never got into school at this point.

​@@signalhilltv5237How the heck do I sound racist do you even know the meaning of racism?? I know you are a Racist that's clear on how you respond. Plus you are trying to claim Hellenic character. So I suggest you reflect upon yourself in a mirror.

​@@signalhilltv5237Now you know. Glad I could help.

Exactly. Afrocentric people mostly Afro-Americans are also trying to claim Andromeda as well. This brainwashing is unethical.

He was according to ancient sources.

The thing is that this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. It's fake.

Unfortunately this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie.

No you are confused. That was Agamemnon king of Mycenae. Memnon is another hero in the Trojan war.

There is no specific reason Why. Many Hero's are less known and left out in the movie.

Memnom was supposed to be black born from to white parents but that's afrocentric propaganda. He was a white Ethiopian and all white indians/Ethiopian the Trojans 😵‍💫

What God are you talking about???

According to the myth, when Memnon clashed with Achilles, Zeus made both demigods so huge that they could be seen from every angle of the battlefield. Zeus also made them tireless which meant that they had to fight to the death which is a testament to the strength and power of the Aethiopian King. The gods did not favor either one over the other, and neither did they come to their aid. Stop making things up.

First of all the Bible, Abraham, Cush Nimrod and Noah have nothing to do with Memnon. Memnon has nothing to do with Africa. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology or is he believed to be one In Hellenic culture. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie.

@@EudaimonVthe really good thing about being a human is… nobody can prove they are right. Not me… not you…. We just do our study and ask Jesus to guide our learning. On judgment day… we will get the truth. No more arguing.

@@ChrisWalter-zr3bn Well the thing is I am a Hellen and as my ancestor Memnon before me I believe in the Olympian God's. So I think I know something more about what has to do with my culture and religion.

@@EudaimonV it’s your soul. Olympian’s are most likely the fallen angels that mated with human women spoke about in the Bible. They are absolutely the reason we live 120 years vice 900 years. Dudes literally fucked us. They made mutants. They even screwed the animals. Your belief is satanic, I hope you know that.

All what you said is irrelevant and not true. My religion is respected and respects others. It's clear you are a brainwashed believer who doesn't respect anyone. Respect everyone don't be that you accuse others of being. Be more enlightened because your beliefs are really dark and sick if you even thought and believe what you said.

Either way. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Both characters are Hellenic Hero's. Memnon has nothing to do with Africa. He does NOT exist in African history mythology or culture.

Well this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology.

If they ever make a exact representation of the Trojan Cycles. They should be played by Mediterranean olived skin people. Not African Nubian actor's

It is true.

The 2004 movie Troy was a re-imagine version of the mythical Trojan war not a precise copy of the epic poems. Many Hero's were left out not only Memnon. That doesn't mean anything. One thing is for sure Memnon is NOT a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie.

No you got it all wrong and this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Not explaining creating confusion and hatred.

Irrelevant.

This video is Propaganda Unethical misleading people in believing a lie.

What is your point?? It's irrelevant. Memnon and the kingdom of Aethiopia have nothing to do with Africa or the country we know today as Ethiopia.

@@EudaimonV In Herodotus In his view, "Aethiopia" is all of the inhabited land found to the south of Egypt, beginning at Elephantine. He describes a capital at Meroë, adding that the only deities worshipped there were Zeus (Amun) and Dionysus (Osiris).

@@natenrey4601 Yes but that is irrelevant to Memnon and the kingdom of Aethiopia in Hellenic mythology. Homer locates The mythical kingdom of Aethiopia in the East where the sun is closer to the land. And Just like like you said. It was not until Herodotus hundreds of years later Who change the location of Aethiopia and called the lands South of Egypt and Libya because of his travels there in which he came in contact with Nubian Egyptians and Kushites. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian warrior or African king in Hellenic mythology. This video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Trying to push a certain political agenda.

​@@natenrey4601Now you know. Glad I could help.

What do you mean truth just because you where not thought this does not mean anything. First of all it has nothing to do with you or your culture unless you are Hellen. Secondly this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. He has nothing to do with Africa. He does NOT exist in African history mythology or culture. Do some research before accusing nonsense.

Now you know. Glad I could help.

I'm sorry but your Wrong. Memnon is NOT a African Nubian Demi God in Hellenic mythology. Please respect Hellenic culture and do some research.

His parents are Tithonus a prince of Troy brother to Priam king of Troy and Eos a Titaness in the Hellenic pantheon who LEFT Troy and TRAVELED to the land of the Aethiopis people in the East with there first born son. Two Hellenic parents don't make a African or half African baby.

Now you know. Glad I could help.

What are you talking about?? Memnon's God's are the Hellenic God's. Aka Greek God's. His mother is a Titaness in the Hellenic pantheon. Memnon is NOT a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology.

No. What are you talking about?? Memnon Has not been played in the big screen. And even if he was he should be played by a Mediterranean olived skin actor. NOT African. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology.

If you are talking about the video, Yes. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. If you're talking about the story, it's not a fairy tale. It's Hellenic Mythology.
