- A Decisive Battle That Changed History of Greece - Battle of Platea 479BC Full
------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction:
🛡️ Political Turmoil and Persian Threat: As Xerxes departs and Mardonius advances, Athenians brave the ruins of their city. The fragile Greek alliance faces internal strife, and the Athenian fleet, the largest, contemplates a switch to Persian allegiance. The offer is defiantly rejected, leading to the burning of Athens and the retreat to Salamis.
⚔️ Training of Greek Warriors: Embark on a year-long odyssey of intense physical and mental training for the Greek army. Spartan discipline, Hellenic workouts, and a commitment to "sweat in peace" forged an indomitable force. Explore the harmony of mind and body, as Greek warriors embraced the heroic ideals of legendary figures, preparing for the Battle of Plataea.
🏹 The Persian Force: Witness Mardonius' rapid destruction of Athens and the Persian camp at Plataea. A diverse army of 100,000 soldiers from Egypt to India converges, seeking open ground for cavalry advantage. As Persian fleets retreat, the Ionians observe from the other side of the coast.
⚔️ The Greek Force: Spartans, reinforced by allies, stand against the Persians with approximately 40,000 soldiers. Led by General Pausanias, the Greeks strategically position themselves on the Asopus Ridge. Explore the hoplite-centric army, their meticulous training, and the belief in victory against overwhelming odds.
🏛️ The Battle of Plataea Unfolds: Eight days of deadlock precede a Persian attempt to break the impasse. Cavalry forces seize crucial supplies, causing a Greek retreat to Plataea. Spartan defiance, exemplified by Amompharetus, and strategic maneuvering lead to the final clash. The Greeks, clad in superior armor, overcome the Persians, culminating in the fall of Mardonius.
⚔️ Heavy Fighting and Greek Victory: Persian cavalry threatens Spartan positions, Athenians confront Thebans, and the battle intensifies. Despite initial setbacks, the Greeks press forward, overwhelming the Persians in hand-to-hand combat. General Mardonius falls, shattering Persian morale, and the Greeks secure a decisive victory.
🏆 Aftermath and Commemoration: Delve into the aftermath as the surviving Persians take refuge. The Greeks commemorate their victory with the Serpent Column at Delphi, constructed from melted-down Persian weapons. The Battle of Plataea marks the end of Persian ambitions in Greece, with minimal Greek casualties and the valiant sacrifice of Spartan hero Amompharetus.

We just released a video about the battle of Hasting described with very specific details here: th-cam.com/video/SibxrTDTbqY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t-BvNl9qqEfAzSIg
The battle changed the history of the world for 1000 years
If only the average human understood how important these ancient victories were for Western society to this very day in the modern era. Great video dude.
BRAVO FROM A GREEK.GOOD ANALYSIS OF THE BATTLE . EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THE HEROIC LANGUAGE CREATES FEALINGS ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHILDRENS...
Thank you very much for your comment. Is there a battle you want more information about? Please share, maybe it will be the next topic for other videos, we are very grateful to you for the suggestion.
Can u make the battle of Marathon ?@@greatboxingen
The information is amazing, and the artwork is fantastic. But totally let down by the AI voice sadly.
The battle of Platea is iconic - so much history....just read series of books regarding it and it brought that time to live. Great.
You're absolutely right! The Battle of Plataea stands as a truly iconic event in ancient Greek history. It decisively shifted the tide of the Persian Wars and left a lasting impact on the entire region. What elements do you think make this battle most significant? In your opinion, how does this battle resonate with the world today?
@@greatboxingen I read it from the perspective of Arimnestos - his whole life - one of the most important historic figures. The Persian empire was taken over the world and was stopped there against all odds. Why? Because it was the first time the greek city states and kingdoms which were always busy to fight each other found themselves in an alliance to resist and beat back Xerxes for now. It was the first time we saw something coming together - Hellas and if you want to go even larger the idea of future Europe.
3,500 YEARS the guardians of Europe.
I got goosebumps
Yes, the ancient Greeks exercised and were educated from an early age, and there was serious military training. However, other reasons for their fighting ability were:
They were free citizens.
They had a national consciousness and fought united when they had to face a foreign enemy.
The unshakable faith in the Gods, in the faith in the immortality of the soul and in the existence of the underworld (Ades).
They loved their city and trusted their generals, knowing that in case of death the city would pay honors to them and honors and money to their family.
Linothorax is cloth armour!
Your AI voice had us fooled up to the Eighty point Zero number of soldiers.
oh thank you for your comments, none of us are confident enough to have a good voice for these articles. We will take note of your comments.
We regret this error and thank you for pointing it out. We will try to do better in the next videos. What about other information in the video? Is it useful to you?
The AI voice is horrid. other than that.. a good show.
subbed....
1st comment and i subedd... Nice work :)
Thank you so much!
Voice actually pretty good
I understand this post is supposed to honor the Greeks.
The Greek warriors. And for their success and valor deserve respect.
But let's be very clear here, among the Persians and their General Mardones
there were Warriors that never took a second place to any other warriors.
True, the Persians loss the battle. But it wasn't a matter of cowardice.
Mardones fought and died at the very front of his troops. There were
soldiers among the Persians that charged forward and never took a step
back. They died fighting and never knew that the battle was ultimately lost.
And if you point to victory and claim it as proof of superior courage or merit,
understand this: The Spartans, The Athenians, in fact, all of the GREEKS would
know defeat in the years that were to come. So, honor their [Greeks]Victory.
The Τρόπαιον [trophy] was well deserved. But you need not disrespect the Valor
of a foe who gave his all. Who never took a step back. And perished in the pursuit
of his duty and held firm in the fullness of his Honor. Because he too is deserving
of RESPECT!
Thank you for sharing your insights on the Battle of Platea. This was a historically important battle and both sides showed incredible courage. Any discussion of the Battle of Platea should include both the Greek victory and the Persian courage. Remembering all aspects of this battle will help us better understand this important historical event. We appreciate your polite respect, is there any battle you would like to continue discussing? Please share more so we can have deeper conversations.
@@greatboxingen A valid point. Persians were never accused of cowardice. Quite the opposite. They did not create an empire by being timid. As a matter of fact, if Mardonius was less brave and thus not getting killed, he might have won the battle. The rout began with his death. Until then it was not decided.
True, the GReks never underestimated the Persians who were equally capble fighters.
Πέρσαι =Persians, Aeschylus' greatest anti-war work, is considered the oldest surviving tragedy. It is also the first tragedy that derives its theme from historical events (and in fact only seven years before its presentation to the public) respectfully deals with the pain of the Persians when they are informed of their overwhelming defeat at Salamis.
@zutrue why one should diminish the Persians the great country the great civilization something like the United States of America today a part of one thing though in Persia there was only one right, the King's one. Should the Greeks Fallen Europe would spoke Farsi learn the belly dance kept its forehead and needs on the ground until spoken alexander a warning Spartans is crystal clear on this
The beginning of the end for the Persian Empire…
A fair to middlin' account....but why vary from Herodotus' account? Your own is suspect. I have read no sources that claim the Spartans at this time had 10,000 hoplites; more like 6,000 or so. The Greeks did possess a number of light armed troops, though no cavalry as they would have been heavily outmatched by the Persians. I know of no evidence that supports the idea that the Spartans and Tegeans were fighting both Persian cavalry and infantry on the final day of combat.
We synthesize information sources from reputable documents such as historical books, newspapers and large, reliable TH-cam channels. Of course, history always hides secrets that none of us can see the full depth within. Your knowledge of history is amazing, we are very grateful for your contribution. It's really valuable to our channel. Hope to receive more shares from you. Wishing you a wonderful day
I cant imagine what was going on inside of them did they just lived with it like its a normal thing or was depression and fear a big part of those guys
They were real men, not WOKE cry babies. Thank God
Good job! You have a distinct style, but why use different AI voices? Maybe make your own in ElevenLabs? Best of luck for the future, you’ll go a long way for sure!
Thank you so much!
"slayed?"
Your statistics wtih the numbers of Greeks and Persian army are wrong.
Can you point out the specific error so we can communicate more clearly?
how can I subscribe, you don't know what you are talking.
Poor English used in commentary. 😂
Indians were never part of persia, white man...correct your history
Filip Was never ever Greek, Greece never exist, Filip was Macedonian and still is Macedonian, Just reed the Filip's oratory and Demostans oratory, I think you are gone Bananas. why you don't talk about who created Greece since you are so good instead you talk something that never exist in this period of time.
.
@naidetutureski9508 actually just before this battle Alex A has a different opinion than yours talking to spartans weep and mourn. Then Demosthenes as an Athenian polititian was a greeter to Phil's coming didn't he tell you read mourn and werp once more. Consider yourself fortunate given acrylic alphabet out of the Greek one on your arrival in the area about 12:13 centuries after the battle you may find strolling down the street filipovski alexandrofski or olympianova. Aristotle is off looking for a dictiobary for you
The biggest Builshit, Please don tell me I'm nasty, Greece never existed in this time, City states Yes, Greece got nothing absolutely nothing to do with this period of time, here is a prove: Greece: (OTTO THE FIRST AND THE ONLY ONE KING OF GREECE. German Bavarian: Otto Fredrich Ludwig von Bayern, 1 June 1815 - 26 July 1867 AD) was a first Bavarian Prince as a King who Ruled Greece from the establishment of the monarchy on 27 May 1832, under Convention of London, until he was deposed on 23 October 1862. Prove me if I'm wrong. The history is gone up to shit. Are You a true historian, or just Fidel Fadel, who ever was teaching you ask him to give your money back.
😂😂😂
Μαλλον μπερδευεις το εθνος με το κρατος.Ξεκαθαρισε το λιγο στο μυαλουδακι σου και μη μασας κουτοχορτο
you dont know much about what Greeks or Greece means so dont bother giving us your german king shit
Don’t get rude!
He should have said Greeks instead of Greece.
Happy now?
Obviously everyone knows that 2500 years ago, Greece , Italy, Germany, England etc. didn’t exist
of course and you are unenducated
