If u want to be wise 😊

Thank you for this interesting and logical presentation.

These statues couldnt of survived all the stealing killing & raping that goes on in every country but rome at that time.

Actually in "high' European culture -in poetry, novels, paintings, sculpture in music, in drama and especially in the late renaissance art form of opera which was a result of the revival of the Greek plays and putting them on -the classical world and its myths and legends, its gods if you will have existed alongside the biblical and Christian stories. You can see it even in the pope's rooms in Rome and in the palaces of the cardinals. Even in the churches and cathedrals! There was an Italian bishop who was also a poet and writer by the name of Vida in the pre -Reformation era beside writing an epic about a game of chess also wrote "The Christiad" effectively the New Testament saga but done as if it was a Greek epic with God the father being Jupiter and most of the biblical characters playing roles as if gods in an epic Greek myth! Needless to say the Reformation stopped all this kind of thing and the inquisitors became very suspicious of this type of literature but nevertheless it went on but not as shame facedly as Vida's "Christiad" -one only look at Milton's "Paradise Lost" and he was actually a Puritan Protestant and Cromwell's Latin secretary!

Some very shallow attitudes in these comments

I'm very intrigued by the suggestion that fiction (as such) in European letters could have arisen as a result of early Christian readings necessitating a decoupling of these most ancient narratives from reality.

Because they had to steal it from somewhere didn't they. The basics they got from the Hebrews, the rest from Greeks and Romans, but twisted to suit their own narrative of course. christianity is a blight on humanity

I LOVE Mary Beard. Her history documentaries are always fun to watch mostly because of her enthusiasm for the topic. Go Mary!

I took a college course on Linear B. It was so cool

"The New Testament is a Greek Novel." - Gregory F. Fegel

If one looks at the gospel of mark as literature it is written in Aristotle pagan definition of tragedy -conflict , denoument and final outcome . Then mark flips the end to hope .

God makes straight licks with crooked sticks.

Hey boss You should check out dr. Ammon Hillman. He's a professor of classics and presents a very strong case using scientific method to show that the Greek IS the original. Hebrew has 7,000 original word forms. Classical Greek has over 1 million. Greeks were true to translations and often note when they are translating a work. So why would they in the case of the Bible take so many liberties and add so much? They wouldn't. The Hebrew didn't have the words to equal the Greek so you get the "dumb down" version in the inadequate Hebrew. P.s. Please don't let your ego ignore this comment. Dr.Hillman has a standing open challenge for any scholarship minded persons to prove him wrong. Think you can?

Ever heard of Caedmon? He popularized Christian concepts in poetry and song. Very original pioneer u might say.

Ridiculous question. There was hardly anything else to read, and those who believed they shouldn't read anything outside of the Bible were so stupid they were effectively illiterate.

They read so much pagan works to give their "religious" beliefs some street cred. with the masses. Plagiarism was the best idea. After the plagiarism served its purpose, the new religious leaders started burning people who were asking too many questions.

This morning I was looking through the Loeb Nonnos Dionysiaca for the first time in a year(?) and the computer uploaded your talk..so a very nice synchronicity!...Incidentally, according to a documentary called Creation of Christianity, at the first council of Nicea , Constantine eventually (after much voting)? decided to merge a Druid God called Hesus with Krishna , for the saviour God, apparently Mathew has numerous passages from the Mahabharata quoted verbatim ...is that how the Christian church usually constructed their texts and doctrines? Do they keep a list of their source material and when it was added?..Is there a website somewhere giving information about this?

They were no different than the previous religous cultists?

no romance or western novels out yet 😂

Up until a little overva hundred years ago, you couldn't obtain a Doctorate of Theology without havibg mastered Greek mythology. In fact, you did that *BEFORE* ever delving into scripture or Patristics

All religions will be illegal and shamed soon..............AI is making a mockery of it.

There are several Bridges , across the River. Sturdy, long-standing, healthy Bridges. These move a lot of Traffic in a very familiar way. Then, a new Government came to the Countryside, and built a less familiar Bridge, in a less familiar place. Understand?

Pagans LARPing as Jews?

I am planning to study classics after my retirement ,is it worth to go and sit in classes or just study via open university mode? .Any list of books that you can suggest please?.Thanks

i think a hair brush and a little make up would go a long way

So many people even smart people misunderstand by free speech..free speech is not free.. it's a payed service..more money you have the more free speech 🙏🙏 that's why social media is free for you..but have to pay to be Heard..

It is very difficult to understand. Your hesitation, tour coff and the lack of clarity on the speech makes this very difficult to understand and follow. You have to improve on your presentations and any university should have a training course on oratory and effective communication. I hope you have a transcription of this presentation.

Beware, this is not a novel. The more you know about Greek mythology the more you realize the connection with human psychology (see Karl Joung or better Joseph Campbell on the archetypes and comparative mythology) And as above so below the connection of the character and archetypes of the gods you start realizing they are not metaphorically "in heaven" they are really in heaven as they are the 7 most important celestial bodies and the stars. The more you know about astronomy the more you understand Ovid's poems as the first two chapters describes perfectly how heavens works and the impact on the earth. He speaks about global warming.

Theyre saying you lie spreading bs propaganda from the present to the past

This seems like some english bs, not the original thing which is in latin

Do you know why your valuable videos are not getting enough viewers? your seo score very low.

Linear A is african in orgin.we have always known that.

I agree with the bag lady

A staggering achievement. Thank you

I'm such a huge fan

No macrons?

Why not use AI to identify the differences and similarities?

Worried about the brainwashing Mary.

Mary, my 6 month son loves when your series on Ancient Rome comes on TH-cam. He always smiles at you speaking! I also enjoy your commentary and insight immensely. Keep at it!

This is lovely but I genuinely cannot prevent myself from asking... _"Frisbee??"_

Is it possible to obtain statistics of the signs in SigLA ?(e.g. a priori and conditional probabilities for nearest neighbor pairs)

Thank you very much for this concise and clear summary of your important scientific work

Thanks 😊

Good shit brudda

thank you

Kairete. To say 'Thank you' for such an incredibly magnificent achievement seems poor return, but from an amateur theologian and enthusiast (who inevitably studied classics for many years at school but majored in Chemistry), 'Thank you!' I pre-ordered your new Lexicon as soon as it appeared on-line as on-the-way using a gift token. It has been a true delight to use it when reading through the recent Tyndale House's NT and alongside it Ann Nyland's The Source translation. To be able to see the range of meanings of so many Koine Greek words has led to greater insight and truer understanding of many NT passages. I have had it by me for two years now and have thoroughly enjoyed perusing the pages. On a personal note I am sorry that you did not reference the LXX, but then we can't have everything! A marvellous resource which as you say will benefit many generations of students to come. Again, Thank you.

John Chadwick's book "The Decipherment of Linear B" first piqued my lifelong curiosity about Cretan scripts. The death of Michael Ventris at such an early age was truly a very sad loss for the study of ancient Mediterranean scripts and languages. But personally the one I REALLY want to see much more progress in is Etruscan. So much is already known about its structure but not the language itself. Hopefully somewhere in Etruria there is a large cache of inscriptions still waiting to be discovered!
