When our own recorded histories have such figures as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Brennus, Alaric, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Godfrey of Bouillon, why shouldn't there have been an Achilles, an Agamemnon, an Odysseus, a Hector?
I named my son Achilles 👌🏻👶
i will name my son achilles as well.
Noble Name, teach him the Story and Warrior at an early AGE. Enjoy your FAMILY.
I named mine Kneecap )
We better see your son being the number one fighter in the world in 20 years

Arcodding to a legend of my island he founded a city called vrisa
And he used to bring the horses to drink from a well which is still here
I guess he got bored in between the 10 years that the siege on troy didn't go anywhere.
If I could go back in time, then the first thing i would do was to go back and find out if Achilles really exist! 🙏
I don't think Achilles and Hector existed at all.

Achilles needed a podcast.
Me: was Achilles real?
Video: he was taught by a centaur.
Me: got it.
History is explained in symbolisms, originally to make it easily understandable for dumb people, but in our times today, dumb people are the ones who doesn't understand symbolisms. Centaur is a symbol for type of person who spends most of his time on his horse, so possibly a Gypsy/Nomad of their time.
"Achilles and Patroclus thus became great friends." That's one way to put it, I guess.
Are you implying they were lovers? From all I have learned it's possible.
@@patrickodonnell9388 they were actually
@@caelyngraham8197 no actually
@@EudaimonV yes actually
@@caelyngraham8197 there's no reference in the Iliad that says that , not even a drawing something to prove it
Very cool. The story of the Myrmidons is a rather mysterious one. I recalled that they were created as men from ants, by an act of Zeus, following a disaster, though I thought they were autocthonous to Pthia. Having looked it up, I misremembered the story a bit, as they were created in this way, following a disaster, but it was after a plague (rather than a flood, as I thought). Also, they were not originally native to Pthia, but were described as being from Aegina. Aeacus was the king of Aegina, and his son Peleus brought Myrmidons to Pthia, presumably making them the Achaians who conquered the natives there and established 'Mycenaean' rule and civilization.
Very nice video about my favorite Greek hero! It is apparent that you put a lot of work and effort into making it.
Nuju you are using as profile picture Pirro of Epir? Do you have anything to do with his fisionomia !? Or you just think he is modern Greek!???
Thanks!
Damn, son! Those maps are bloody beautiful!
This is so much better than the movie Troy... thanks, man, superb job again!
I loved the movie! 😀 Thank you, I plan to put more videos about the early lives of the heroes of the Trojan war. Appreciate it bro!
It's not difficult to be much better than that movie.
This was an absolute amazing story of the ancient times that defines what a man is capable of accomplishing before he bids farewell to the earth.
So excited! Love your videos
Thanks Tony!
Hey great video! Mispronounced some words I think, but Id like to see the next iteration of your coverage of Achilles
King of Myrmidones in Thessaly (Fthia)
That was fast! I've just set up the schedule! Thanks for the support bro!
@@WanaxTV love greek history and your videos of course
@@herculianthegreat Thanks. Much respect brother 💯
@@WanaxTV what means ( myrmidones) in Greece language?
Mirmidone were Bulgarians!
Yall speaking of me?
He was not the greatest Warrior, it was Memnon. And, he knew it.
I assume Achilles and the Trojan war was real for one very simple reason: when Alexander the Great visited Troy, he laid a wreathed on Achilles tomb. Why would that be mentioned if there was no real Achilles or Troy for that matter (and Haephastion laid one at Patroculus tomb). And I buy into the homosexual relationship because back then they didn't have the hangups we have today. Alexander had many female lovers as well as a wife but had homosexual relationships as well, including Bogaos the eunuch. People who argue vehemently against the homosexual aspect of Achilles/Alexander/Greek culture is trying to hard. This is why the gays in the military argument has no background: the greatest fighters/generals in the world were homo/bi and there was nothing wrong with it.
Sorry to go off on the deep end, but this is the real basic argument against them being homo/bi because a lot of people today have a problem with this (mainly conservative Christians but I digress).
Some ancient Kingdom or state (I can't remember) had an elite unit of homosexual lovers
@@Paul-yc5dc Alexander actually defeated that group, the Sacred Band of Thebes, when his father Philip had a battle, and tasked Alexander with the object of taking them out, as far as I can remember.
@@Paul-yc5dc The sacred band of Thebes I believe were paired gay lovers. They would fight side by side in the line so there was always an even number of soldiers and they would fight to the death trying to show off for one another and impress one another on and off the battlefield. They were basically gay married couples that fought to the death for each other's glory by each other's side.
Bullshit!
It's a modern myth that ancient Greece was ok with homosexuality. All the evidence we have points to them thinking it's abnormal, shameful and generally made it illegal
Sadly, this seems to ignore the myth of the golden apple of discord being thrown out at the wedding feast of Achilles parents. This was the seed of the Trojan war.
Really love this! Congrats! One small thing, could you quote sources in your videos please? I'm doing some research to write my latest comic book and I would love to confirm all this stuff. (granted, I can check easily going on google and finding them myself, but it would be amazing if you listed them in your videos
His name will be remembered!
Do you have a video about Ajax ?
Not yet, but I'm slowly going through the Trojan war heroes!
@@WanaxTV Years ago I read that Ajax shield was almost 9 feet tall but w;hen he and the other warriors there marched they'll put them on their backs would cover from there lower neck to there mid calves. So that means that Ajax was at least 11 feet tall. And he wasn't the only giant on that battle field.
Ajax the detergent bar 😆
He fought the king of ethiopia
That Ethiopia was in Asia.
An angry guy
If Achilles was from Phthia why did he fight for Mycenae?
Phthia was at the time a part of the Mycenaean Greece, centered around the city of Mycenae and other palace centers.

Achilles was just a child when he went to troy
Perhaps late teens?
Perhaps17 years old when began the second expedition (and his first) to Troy. In the earlier one he was 9.
@@antoniodaguiar392 That would be matching to the story, that his son, Neoptolemos, came to Troy too, near the end of the campaign, being old enouth to assist the army, even fight.He probably got Neoprolemos when just 13-14 (since no woman could resist him, he was a demi-god after all, not comparable with other males). So, Neoprolemos would have been in his early teens, when arrived in Troy.
Achilles had a very deep relationship to Hector´s youngest sister, Polyxena, wanted to change sides for her, told that Hector too !!! Hector would imprison her, and lie to Achilles, that she has changed her mind... Thus sealing Troy´s fate, since the Greeks cannot win without Achilles, that´s the Oracle (and Achilles being on Polyxena´s and Hector´s side, means, the Greeks have nothing to fullfill the Oracle). When later Hector killed Patroklos, Achilles was double-raging over Hector, having stolen Polyxena AND Patroklos from him, and so, go and kill Hector. In the meantime, Polyxena would sneak out, and Achilles sneak in, and meet her, But Paris noticed that, and killed Achilles with a poisoned arrow in one of those meetings.
@@klausbrinck2137 Well, I like to follow Homer and to me, Polyxena was only part of dirty stories created after.. To me, she never existed.

Totally destroyed 23 greek cities from Achilles.
Achilles was not greek but an Albania dude 😂😂😂🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
You greeks when your read ancient books should read all them and to understand what is on the books.
All cities what ignorants know as ancient greek civilizations is ancient Albania civilization the same in 1821 was albanian revolution of independence of Greece but today ignorants learn as it was greek revolution in Greece in 1821.😂😂🇦🇱
And when ignorants go to learn about for greeks heroes of 1821 and antiquity all they are albanians heroes and nothing to do with new greeks.😂😂🇦🇱🇦🇱
@@user-wq1iv9eb6w It is sad that Albanian govt brainwashes their own population into believing in some great history comparable to Greeks. Albanians didn't even exist at the time, and you claiming somebody else's history only shows that you are insecure and not actually proud of your people's history.
60% off today’s Greeks are Arvanit Albanian origin.. in 1821.90 out of 100 Greek heroes where Arvanit
No .The 130%😂😂😂

Achilles was not pseudo Greek, but Bulgarian! Greeks don´t have history, to begin with.
There was an ancient Greek empire then the Romans took out the Greeks. The Greeks do have history, Athens was their greatest city state, Sparta their war like state. Without the Greeks, you would have no science in Europe, democracy or western philosophy. As an British person, I can tell you that Greek, that was the everyday language of the Roman, as Latin was their formal language, and these languages are part of English's root languages along with Norse and Germanic languages. So without the ancient Greek empire, you'd have no English with which to dis the Greeks. My late father was a classics scholar and English and Latin teacher. Anyway your country has its own history. Go learn that, like how you held out against the Nazis. 🙄
@@julianaylor4351 Greeks had copied more than 50 % of their history from the Bulgarians, and call it now "Greek". Yes, Greeks have history and we the awakened call it Pseudo Greek. Further, the Civilization was formed by the Bulgarians who are the Oldest on the Balkans and Europe, not by the Greeks. The greatest mathematicians were the Bulgarians and even the wheel came from the Bulgarians. There was no Greek Empire in Europe. Democracy, I don´t give a shit about it, because there is no democracy anywhere - just dictatorship. Countries are run by politicians charlatans and don´t give a voice to the ppl. If you believe that indirect democracy in your country is democracy at all, then you are realy brainwashed by pseudo western democracy. Fhilosophy is not Greek monopoly - people philosified shortly after Adam and Eve and there was no Greeks. The very word Greek means "Thief" in Latin and no wonder, since they steal other peoples history. The word Sparta is Thracians (Bulgarian) since Spartacus was a Thracian. Thracians were not Greeks, but ancient Bulgarians. British ppl, just like the rest of the west do not know history, especially the Bulgarian one. Their ignorance makes me tired. Further, English, Greek and Latin are based on Bulgarian. Even in Germanic/Nordic you can find a lot of Bulgarian words. Greeks didn´t even invent a single letter in their alphabet. They have copied the letters from the others, like the Bulgarian letters. Cyrillic is much older. Finally, I can tell you, that it was Bulgarians who ruled the world, both phisically and spiritually, and were closest to God.
@@julianaylor4351 Sorry, but there was no Greek Empire in Europe but Macedonian and Bulgarian. Greeks are newcommers from the East (but were Subsaharian). To Macedonia (The ancient land of the Bulgarians) they arrived in 810 BC as migrators. After that they were defeated by the Macedonians (= Bulgarians) in around 4th c. BC and were incorporated in the Macedonian Empire. After that Greeks were subjected to Roman Empire, and after that to the Ottoman Empire. Greece itself is very young country from the 19th c AD. Bulgaria is the oldest. Sorry, but if your father knew history properly, then he ought to know that the Minoan and the Pelasgian language is Bulgarian from the beginning. They call it now Slavic. Greeks adopted a lot of it.
@@Beatusable yes you right 60 % of today’s Greek are Arvanit Albanians same as arberesh in calabria,Greek was created from German King OTTO. But I don’t agree that old Thracian language was slavic!
@@antonpikadilli8771 Thanks for agreeing. Regarding Otto I don´t know much about him, but tanks - it seems to be just another western Propaganda and modern fair-tales. Regarding Slavic, believe me, Thracian and Slavic is same. Slav is not ethnicity. The so called modern Slavic is based on ancient Thracian-Pelasgian-Boharic. You can still recognise words if you are boned linguist/etymologist. I can prove it any time, therefore I am preparing a book, i.e. glossary lists that I plan to publish later. I have reserached on Bulgarian/Thracian language since 1996, so nobody can lie to me anymore. We all were brain-washed by modern history "books", which have no historic background. Further, most ancient Thracian, Minoan or Pelasgian known names or words can be explained in Bulgarian (Pseudo Slavic). It´s not by accident.
