See U In History, you guys are amazing. First you gave us the Trojan War. Then the voyage of Odysseus. Now we need the journey of Aeneas to complete the trilogy. The Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid all wrapped up together like this would be epic.
When I read Homer epic, one thing astonished me is the narrative structure of odyssey, it’s very modern and complicated. I can’t believe it’s written 3000 years ago.
Because it was translated to be comprehended by modern readers. The writing style is actually that of the scholars translating it and not the original text.
@@BurritoBandito140 wait wait, language maybe be adjusted for fitting for modern readers, but even the whole structure also changed in translating? then it's awful.
@alexzhu4710 yes. Often when ancient texts are translated they do not make sense, their sentence structure is rough to read for the modern audience so the translator is tasked with keeping to the premise of the work but can restructure sentences to make the flow better or to aid comprehension. If you want the best true to form experience of the Iliad you have to read it in the original language. Same with great works like the Bible.
😃👏🎉 Now that was greatest complete story of The ILIAD and the ODYSSEY of Homer Adventures in Mythology. This is masterpiece and classic from beginning to the end!
My man your animation are just awesome, the way of your story telling would even bring smile to the face of homer, Eagerly waiting for Aenied though - the virgils masterpiece and classic end to this trilogy is really needed !!
1. Where are the cartoons from 2. Is there gonna be a Arthurian Legend S2 3. Why does the abandonment of kids who are princes happen so much (Arthur, Paris, Oedipus, etc.) 4. Why choose in impartial jury and then immediately everyone bribe him
Greek mythology is my favorite mythology. I'll summarize it for the youngings in few words. Human insult god, God keep grudges, Human suffer, Human regret, repeat with different human and different plot. Greek mythology in a nutshell.
I get so confused because others say that Odysseus killed Astyanax, but in other sources, it was Neoptolemus who threw the kid from the walls. can someone explain 😅 cool video btw ! the Iliad and the odyssey is genuinely so entertaining and its awesome people still appreciate it even after at least 3000 yrs ago !
Some stories last through the ages and are reinvented time and time again. These days we have Marvel movies and soap operas retelling the tales of the Greek heroes, but the old ones still hold up.
@@danielcronin7512i mean there's a scholarly consensus that some of the characters and locations were involved in the war, so saying "not a word" is a bit harsh. It's more likely that at least the Iliad is historical fiction
Who illustrated all of this? I see no credits for the art/narration or music. Anyways what an enjoyablething to have on youtube, truly timeless, well done!
Thanks, we are so glad to read your comment! The art and narration are by our See U in History team, we use music from the Epidemic Sound library. Artist credits are in the individual videos for each series. You can check it out on our channel, the Iliad and the Odyssey have several videos for each story.

Rhaegar & Lyanna = Paris & Helen. Stanis sacrificing his daughter just like Agamemnon did. I can tell that JRR Martin took a lot of inspiration from the Iliad for his book series.
Correct me if I’m wrong but in the beginning he says priams second child was destined to ruin Troy but wasn’t it his older sister Cassandra who foresaw that? She had the ability to tell the future and that’s how they first learned it. Maybe another version was told this way
At 3:46:00 it states Ajax the great died on the seas but at 2:34:00 he dies by plunging a sword into himself. Is this an error by the author of the video or error due to obscure records from which these tales derived?
Gracious God, we thank you for the blessings bestowed upon us each day. Help us to cultivate a heart of gratitude, recognizing the beauty and goodness that surrounds us, even in times of difficulty.
Would be a great listen to fall asleep to if not for the amount of adverts, you will be forever getting disturbed to be skipping them as the adverts are full adverts not short ones that you can just wait out..
Do you know that "Foca na história" is a Brazilian channel that dubbs and reposts your videos? Found this channel and I'm baffled that this is the original content
@EricSoaresE Hi Eric. Both channels are mine. And the "original" is the channel in Portuguese, which is older and many videos are posted there first 👍 Oi Eric. Os dois canais são meus. E o "original" é o canal em português, que é mais antigo e muitos vídeos são postados lá primeiro 👍

Iphigenia's death is always impossible to fathom and digest. What an amazing story.
i’ve read this a million times when i was in school! now, listening to it to sleep. what a full circle moment
As a trucker i need these long videos
Safe travels 👐🏻
Yaay

@@ivoryrae he will listen
4 hours and still had my attention throughout ❤.
Lovely drawings.... we've been enjoying your uploads for several years now. Really, they are the best.
4HOURS LONG IM LIVING FOR THIS
This is quite impressive. I hope one day you will cover the epics of China, like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin
😃👏🎉 Now that was greatest complete story of The ILIAD and the ODYSSEY of Homer Adventures in Mythology. This is masterpiece and classic from beginning to the end!
These mythology videos are like a journey through time and legend. So captivating!
This is a work of art!

The Aenid was commissioned by Ceaser or Octavian? Or maybe was it later I dunno
Hold up! The art work was custom made for the video!?!? SERIOUSLY??? It's such high quality that I just assumed it was pulled from some graphic novel!
So much work goes into this, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for making the content you guys do, This is Legendary stuff. Praise be to Zeus!
So awesome I’m super excited more great stories
Came down this road thanks to Epic the Musical and the Blood of Zeus and I am not regretting it!😁
1. Where are the cartoons from
2. Is there gonna be a Arthurian Legend S2
3. Why does the abandonment of kids who are princes happen so much (Arthur, Paris, Oedipus, etc.)
4. Why choose in impartial jury and then immediately everyone bribe him
1. Looks like it's from a graphic novel, because they use the white gaps between pictures.
@@TrumpIsrael2024 yeah but which
Troy story 1 and Troy story 2.
ANDY!

Love the tale and various retellings
Age of Bronze is one of my favourite
The two greatest stories ever told.
What a beautiful story You have Made! I really thank You!
Achillies, weeping in blind rage after Petr. dies.

There's also some gods vs gods thrown in there too. 😂
My summary was always,
"Oh no, here comes Zeus..."
Realy great! Better then 95% of the movies that are made!
This was a cool watch. Great video, thank you.
Earned a sub and like for this one, great work.
Not mermaids but sirens, mythical songbirds with woman's heads and sweet bewitching voices luring sailors toward their death by drowning.

Beautiful. Would love to see you do the Mahabharata

The first Western literature, this is historical, Greece was our ancestors and we inherited from them the culture, literature, stories, poems...
And they had the most bad and evil slavery of all time.

Great work😇

I was thinking the very same thing
Thank you so much
If you ever cover the Mahabharatha you'd need an entire series. It makes Homer's work look like a kids book
It really does. However if the Scythians had a written language swear it'd make the Mahabharata look like a kids book.
Man great job 10/10
Correct me if I’m wrong but in the beginning he says priams second child was destined to ruin Troy but wasn’t it his older sister Cassandra who foresaw that? She had the ability to tell the future and that’s how they first learned it. Maybe another version was told this way
So basically, this whole war was because Zues in is infinite wisdom decided not to get involved in an immortal cat-fight. Pawned it off on poor Paris.
If Zeus made the choice he would have to deal with them his entire lifetime. If Paris does it a kingdom dies. Priorities man.
This is absolutely amazing!! Whatever magic you guys are practising, keep it up!
Thanks!
How about Publius Vergilius Naso's The Aenid and The Song of Roland?
At 3:46:00 it states Ajax the great died on the seas but at 2:34:00 he dies by plunging a sword into himself. Is this an error by the author of the video or error due to obscure records from which these tales derived?
There are two different Ajax. I haven't reached there in the video yet but if they're depicted as the same that's an error of the video
how have i just found you?!
im rooting for troy 😢 sad theyre defeated
Αnyone knows the names of the songs used for this magnificent video?
I would love to know who created these comic panels.
The music is deafening.

Where do I buy this comic?
Why didn't we have this when I was in high school?
Instead, we had to read the original. 🤦♀️🤪🙄

This is much different than song of Achilles
yep i keep being like “no they were not friends they were lovers!”
the music makes this unwatchable 😕
Music is very irritating. Sorry.
Aeneas is my favourite
Achilles regretted his choice of fame over a long life telling Odysseus " better the lowest helot alive than the greatest warrior in hades

No mistake. Achilles is also known as Pelides, which means son of Peleus
