Cinzia I would really love it if you talked about the pre-Ancient Greek origins of Dionysus and his cult, the maenads and all that. Maybe for Halloween? It’s super cool (spooky) stuff
A very insightful analysis of Roman history and its mythical roots. As for the rivalry between Octavian and Antony, I have read that Antony claimed descent from Hercules: therefore, the view that the Hercules/Omphale myth was used as a slur against Antony might possibly have some weight. I am no Classical scholar, though, so I shall defer to those who are.
really enjoyed this. thanks! "Julius Marathus informs us, that a few months before his birth, there happened at Rome a prodigy, by which was signified that Nature was in travail with a king for the Roman people; and that the senate, in alarm, came to the resolution that no child born that year should be brought up; but that those amongst them, whose wives were pregnant, to secure to themselves a chance of that dignity, took care that the decree of the senate should not be registered in the treasury." - Suetonius, Life of Augustus
What was really funny (for me back then) about Disney´s Hercules animated movie was that he was a LEGITIMATE son of Zeus😅. I loved to read about mythology back then. Greetings Lady!!
I noticed that you've been using a different camera for the past few videos, I just wanted to say that the video quality looks great! I also really enjoyed the content of your video. It's always fun to learn new things 😊
Thank you for yet another amazing video. I am enjoying watching your longer videos very much. I like listenning to them when doing stuff like washing the dishes or cooking.
This has all been very captivating so much so I almost forgot to say something however like I was just trying to say before I really did enjoy all of what I've experienced so far
@@CinziaDuBois Working hard on both novels in progress. Just posted a new video about writer's block on my TH-cam channel. And you put together what you read into a coherent whole. That's a gift not everyone has. 💞
I love you and your content so much, thank you for talking about the real stories behind mythology and the VERIFIABLE history associated with it. So many people make shit up to fill in the blanks, or to dress it up. I’m glad I can come here and listen to your commentary 🥰
You know, when you mentioned the servant Hercules myth, I figured the Augustus propaganda element would be as an attempt to mollify the fears of tyranny by presenting Augustus/Hercules as a servant to the Romans so obedient he would obey even the most insulting of demands while still acknowledging the strength and conquest in his past, which kind of fits with the change between warlord and ruler theory. Also, a little note about the editing--the video cuts off in the middle of the word "keep" in the "remember, books save lives so keep [reading]."
I never listened to the sponsor part so attentive. I’ve been diagnosed with adhd and dyscalculia. And for me the phd was one step to far, didn’t finish it. I really hope you are going to succeed. Every generation goes one step further.
@@consentclub614 it was her story, because that resembles my own. Because I live in the Netherlands, all mental help is free. So I won’t need better help. I’ve got help, a coach once a week. And three hours help with cleaning the house.
I sometimes wonder is the story of Samson the Jewish version of the story of Hercules. I know it's a story about how you shouldn't get involved with interracial relationships. But the Philistines they say one of their origins is the islands off the coast of Greece.
Samson, like Hercules, is derived common archetype that existed throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Another example is Enkidu from Mesoptamian mythology
I wasn’t aware of their idea of repetition of history. it definitely explains the setting for the game The Forgotten City (patreon content idea: watch a let’s play of it and stream reaction or somethin)
As a history and mythology fanatic, I love your videos. I would,however, like to request more Celtic, (Britton, Irish, Manx, Welsh, Scottish. As well as, (since they intermingled with Irish and Scot) Pict.
@@CinziaDuBois I wouldn't call it a scam, but there are some major issues with the service--specifically privacy issues. While there is confidentiality between the psychologist/therapist and the patient, BetterHelp is a third party as it is essentially a texting service and as such not bound by doctor-patient confidentiality. At the time I was considering using it, their privacy policy only referred to doctor-patient confidentiality and did not cover the third-party communications, meaning that while your therapist is required to be confidential, they (BetterHelp) are not. This may have changed, so I suggest you read their terms of service and privacy policies to see if you're comfortable divulging private information while using their service. Additionally, by using text messages, your phone service provider or internet service provider can access your messages and conversations with your therapist, and whoever owns the phone account can gain access to them with no restrictions. Literally all they have to do to see your "private" messages is to call up the phone service and ask to see them. While this may not be an issue for most people, if you are on someone else's phone plan (eg. a shared family plan) that person can call up the phone provider and request your text logs, which will include every message you have sent via Better help, amongst others. This is extremely important for people who may be in the closet and whose family do not know, as it could result in them being forcibly outed as LGBT+, potenitally rendering them homeless and even endangering their lives. Individuals living with abusive partners face the same risk. Law enforcement can also access call and text logs without a warrant in most cases, so anyone in recovery or dealing with drug-related issues is in danger as well. Additionally, therapists with BetterHelp are generally treated poorly by the company, although that may have changed in the last few years. I don't remember my source for this, unfortunately, and again, it may have changed in the last few years.
@@CinziaDuBois I don’t have first hand experience about this but : it’s kind of a scam in that they aren’t responsible for anything (stated in their TOS). They’re technically not even responsible for providing therapy - they provide contact with people who provide counselling and it’s a different thing. If something goes wrong, if the therapist lied about being fully licensed, if they never respond or keep cancelling or drop you out without a word or harass you via personal email after you ended the relationship, or if you get someone who claims to be lgbtq friendly and tries to put you through conversion therapy (yes all of this apparently happened) they’re not responsible. You can opt out, yes, you can ask for another match but what you paid will not be refunded. BH has a set word count per week on the therapist side, so if the therapist gets to the count they have to choose between not responding and working for free. They’re often not very well paid so a lot of them don’t stick around, and you can be stuck waiting for a match while paying, multiple times, and then be told you’re not a good match for their services. The things they advertise for are absolutely not guaranteed, and they basically don’t care. Also they’ll sell your data, everything, if you don’t go looking for the option to tell them not to. Some people have a great experience of the service but it’s more thanks to the therapist than BH I think. That’s why I said to stay cautious, instead of just not be using it ever. If you have a great experience with them good for you :)
Tbh, imho the 1960s-era, Adventure Cartoon Productions' _The Mighty Hercules_ is *the* definitive version of this character. No other telling of his exploits comes within a prairie mile. This is a hill I'm willing to defend with every millilitre of maple syrup that runs through my veins. . .
I know it's not the focus of your channel but, regarding this topic, I'd find it entertaining to listen your opinion of the tv series Domina, even if it's a bit too heavy on flair and fluff.
@@CinziaDuBois I understand. While I don't condone piracy, but taking into account your situation, and the fact this series has already been released more than one year ago, perhaps you could use something like HD Today. I don't think it's exactly legal, but you're not downloading anything, and also they don't shower you with ads or any intrusive data gathering. Please feel free to delete this comment afterward, I don't wish to promote anything nefarious. Be well.
Very disappointed to see so many youtubers once again falling for the scam that is BetterHelp... I guess being well-read doesn't make anyone immune from making bad business decisions. Hell, even Danny Gonzalez backtracked on his sponsorship due to their poor reputation.
all the concerns about Better help that took place around four years ago were debunked pretty quickly (here’s a good video that covered it by Dr Grande; th-cam.com/video/wMyblEeu_TQ/w-d-xo.html), but people hold onto old drama and anger rather than look into it being debunked because that doesn’t suit their agenda. I’ve been using it for coming up to two years, and seven of my friends use it. none of us had have issues - all of our lives have been positively changed thanks to it. But our experience isn’t as valid as angry internet people from four years ago jumping the gun apparently.
no that’s just the title referring to Augustus. I know the difference and it’s not something I use in the video. Hercules is a Latin name, but even the Romans knew Hercules wasn’t a Roman.
@@CinziaDuBois my primary concern would be with selling of client information/data because third party health apps don’t fall under HIPPA. There is also some issues with over prescribing drugs, the ceo made some comment about only prescribing them 95% of the time so they don’t become a pill mill which points to there being some underlying issues.
could you send me a link to where better help therapists prescribe medication? All I can find online is Better Help saying online therapists cannot prescribe any medication as they are not licensed MDs and therefore cannot. I can’t see an article where anyone is reporting this is a problem on Better Help. As for selling data, I’m afraid that’s a problem with a lot of companies, but again, I can’t find any evidence that BetterHelp sell data, though there’s evidence to suggest it is shared (much like your cookie preferences on a website, you TH-cam and Google data, etc). Sponsors aren’t something I take lightly, and I’ve refused many on the basis of clashes with my ethos, such as 23 and Me which I think is far more harmful. A lot of people promote 23 and Me and no one bats an eyelid despite the company keeping your DNA on record and sells it to second party companies which I think is much more serious a crime that no one seems to discuss.
@@CinziaDuBois I just realized I mentally combined Cerebral another online therapy place with Better Help for a bit, you’re right on better help not prescribing pills.
Would you be interested in doing a video on Hercules's connection to republicanism in the Renaissance? Did you notice all the depictions of him in art when you were in Florence? Maybe we could collaborate.
Just because the word didn't exist doesn't mean the thing itself didn't exist. That's like saying no one could have been gay in the ancient world because the word homosexuality didn't exist until the 19th century
@@CinziaDuBois Huh??? How did my comment become homophobic? Our understanding of what propaganda meant changed all through the twentieth century. Originally was defined as a means to spread Christianity. Then used by public relation experts to rehabilitate reputations of wealthy companies and individuals. It wasn't until the Nazis used Edward Bernays' methods it to sway public opinion did it take on a negative connotation. Perhaps the modern term (even if a little hackneyed) is gaslighting. Also propaganda in common usage usually refers to state spin and not private entity spin such as religion or business embellishments. IMHO
@@CinziaDuBois I understood your point. My point was that the term propaganda as we understand it today is only around 90 years old. What is interesting is that you are as picky on details as I am. However I consider myself quiet normal. No matter what your personality type or tendencies psychiatrists can find something wrong with you. When the Rorschach test were first published they found most of the population had low self esteem. Of course Nietzsche figured that out decades ago referring to most people as sheep and only a few as lions. I was thinking about ordering the shirt from Amazon with the statement "Your First Mistake was thinking I was one of the Sheep". Anyway you have a nice TH-cam page. Not often does owner of the page give me this much attention but I feel honored.
Good morning lady of the library, I was wondering if I could interest you in some unique historical connections , perhaps for a segment on notable theories. I wrote a few over the years and would love to gain some public insight into the potential validity of these theories, and perhaps gain some scholarly integrity for these through contacts you may have. I would only ask that I remain as the primary researcher on any citation that may exist. But free of charge otherwise. PLEASE contact at your earliest convenience to discuss. Gregory John Sereda
I wish people wouldn't mix Ancient. Greek Myths and History with the Romans All the Romans did is freaking copy and loot every thing from Greece and called it Roman There's no such thing as a Roman Hercules There's only one Heracles and he was a Theban Greek from Thebes. I'm sick and tired of Rome Rudi g the coat tail of Greece
I enjoy your content, but I feel like there is a black/white bias with some of the videos. Things mean things to different people, and it shouldn’t be so much about proving and disproving whole works, rather than finding the crumbs of truth and putting together knowledge.
…may I ask what conclusion I drew in this video that made you say I’m biased? I presented several scholarly theories about the relationship between Hercules and Augustus and didn’t even conclude one myself. How is that biased? I didn’t prove or disprove anything here. I literally just discussed how people have drawn correlations between Augustus and Hercules, both ancient writers and contemporary scholars.
I really liked the video, but I would encourage you not to accept sponsorship from Better Help. They've got a problematic history, and they tend to leave a lot to be desired. From what I understand they perpetuate revolving-door therapy, which is extremely frustrating.
thank you, but as someone who has used the service for a long time, it’s rather frustrating to hear people who have t actually used it perpetuating the same falsities about the service that trended around four years ago and subsequently got debunked. I don’t see why I can’t promote something that I’ve only had good experiences with, and my friends have all had good experiences with, because of some controversy a few years ago that was, as I reintegrate, debunked. it’s nothing like a revolving door therapy, and as someone whose life was saved by the service, I find comments like this that aren’t based on personal experience dangerous, as it discourages people from trying a potentially life saving and very affordable and accessible therapy resource based on rumours
@@CinziaDuBois I'm glad that you and your friends had such a good experience! And I can see why you would want to promote something that has saved your life. However, personally, I don't thank that it's right to use that to discredit those that have been hurt by these services. Wishing you the best, I'll leave this conversation now.
Really like viewing your videos but one thing that annoys me is when you give PC correct interpretations of the past. A rule of historical research is that you can't judge the past by present day standards. When you talk about Roman masculinity and a couple of other points, you're doing just that. You're making a subjective interpretation of the past. How can you know anything of Roman masculinity 2,000 years later? I have read many historians who psychoanalysis people from the past. They're historians and not psychologists and they weren't born with the psychology gene. You can't do therapy on dead people. As I said, I really find that off-putting in your videos.
I don’t do PC analysis of the past. I make jokes about their views. that’s all. it’s not that deep. If you’re too sensitive about light hearted jokes, the internet is not the place for you
betterhelp has been proven to be a horrible service to both users and therapists, is a sponsorship really worth promoting a potentially dangerous service? unsubscribed.
I've been using it for over a year and a half, and my friends all use it. None of us have had bad experiences. There was a thin a few years ago when Better Help was in controversy and everyone got rid of their sponsorships with them, but then that was debunked. Even Philip DeFranco recently spoke how he regretted his rash reaction to something which was fabricated and blown out of proportion. There's no proof to those claims and that scandal was debunked years ago.

Hercules is the only Disney film to my knowledge without a "broken home" for the protagonist and historically speaking that is hilarious
He’s legit that one DnD party member that’s like “My parents aren’t dead, no bandits sacked my city. I just like beating things up”
I've never really been into ancient history
*proceeds to watch Cinzia's videos non-stop*
I knew Hercules was a Disney film… they made Hera the loving mother and Zeus the attentive and faithful father. 😂
Well, that's Disney for you...🤣
Even though they were actually brother and sister.
I loved how they just gave Hades Hera's rage, cause where's your villain without Hera's rage?
Ah yes. Hera. Unanimously known as a kind, loving mother figure, especially In mythology
A very insightful analysis of Roman history and its mythical roots.

Just so that Herc can keep on haunting your research!
I hope she goes the distance and does that.

🤗🐻🤗📚📖📜👋🏻
This video is an anachronism. Propaganda was invented by the Catholic church centuries later. Loosely translated from Latin "spread the faith".
Just because the word didn't exist doesn't mean the thing itself didn't exist. That's like saying no one could have been gay in the ancient world because the word homosexuality didn't exist until the 19th century
@@CinziaDuBois Huh??? How did my comment become homophobic? Our understanding of what propaganda meant changed all through the twentieth century. Originally was defined as a means to spread Christianity. Then used by public relation experts to rehabilitate reputations of wealthy companies and individuals. It wasn't until the Nazis used Edward Bernays' methods it to sway public opinion did it take on a negative connotation.
Perhaps the modern term (even if a little hackneyed) is gaslighting. Also propaganda in common usage usually refers to state spin and not private entity spin such as religion or business embellishments. IMHO
I didn’t say your comment was homophobic. you just missed the point of what I was saying.
@@CinziaDuBois I understood your point. My point was that the term propaganda as we understand it today is only around 90 years old. What is interesting is that you are as picky on details as I am. However I consider myself quiet normal. No matter what your personality type or tendencies psychiatrists can find something wrong with you. When the Rorschach test were first published they found most of the population had low self esteem. Of course Nietzsche figured that out decades ago referring to most people as sheep and only a few as lions. I was thinking about ordering the shirt from Amazon with the statement "Your First Mistake was thinking I was one of the Sheep". Anyway you have a nice TH-cam page. Not often does owner of the page give me this much attention but I feel honored.
Mabee it is my age, but it sounds like you are saying "hercese, instead of Hercules
Good morning lady of the library, I was wondering if I could interest you in some unique historical connections , perhaps for a segment on notable theories. I wrote a few over the years and would love to gain some public insight into the potential validity of these theories, and perhaps gain some scholarly integrity for these through contacts you may have. I would only ask that I remain as the primary researcher on any citation that may exist. But free of charge otherwise. PLEASE contact at your earliest convenience to discuss.

@4:30 You're basically describing the modern U.S. =/
I wish people wouldn't mix Ancient. Greek Myths and History with the Romans
All the Romans did is freaking copy and loot every thing from Greece and called it Roman
There's no such thing as a Roman Hercules
There's only one Heracles and he was a Theban Greek from Thebes.
I'm sick and tired of Rome Rudi g the coat tail of Greece
I enjoy your content, but I feel like there is a black/white bias with some of the videos. Things mean things to different people, and it shouldn’t be so much about proving and disproving whole works, rather than finding the crumbs of truth and putting together knowledge.
…may I ask what conclusion I drew in this video that made you say I’m biased? I presented several scholarly theories about the relationship between Hercules and Augustus and didn’t even conclude one myself. How is that biased? I didn’t prove or disprove anything here. I literally just discussed how people have drawn correlations between Augustus and Hercules, both ancient writers and contemporary scholars.
I really liked the video, but I would encourage you not to accept sponsorship from Better Help. They've got a problematic history, and they tend to leave a lot to be desired. From what I understand they perpetuate revolving-door therapy, which is extremely frustrating.
thank you, but as someone who has used the service for a long time, it’s rather frustrating to hear people who have t actually used it perpetuating the same falsities about the service that trended around four years ago and subsequently got debunked. I don’t see why I can’t promote something that I’ve only had good experiences with, and my friends have all had good experiences with, because of some controversy a few years ago that was, as I reintegrate, debunked. it’s nothing like a revolving door therapy, and as someone whose life was saved by the service, I find comments like this that aren’t based on personal experience dangerous, as it discourages people from trying a potentially life saving and very affordable and accessible therapy resource based on rumours
@@CinziaDuBois I'm glad that you and your friends had such a good experience! And I can see why you would want to promote something that has saved your life. However, personally, I don't thank that it's right to use that to discredit those that have been hurt by these services.
Wishing you the best, I'll leave this conversation now.
Use the Greek name if you are talking Greek. Heracles is the name, named after Hera to please her.
...but I'm not talking about Greek stories. I'm talking about the Roman versions of the stories...
@@CinziaDuBois ok, but then you could say Jupiter instead of Zeus and so on.
Really like viewing your videos but one thing that annoys me is when you give PC correct interpretations of the past. A rule of historical research is that you can't judge the past by present day standards. When you talk about Roman masculinity and a couple of other points, you're doing just that. You're making a subjective interpretation of the past. How can you know anything of Roman masculinity 2,000 years later? I have read many historians who psychoanalysis people from the past. They're historians and not psychologists and they weren't born with the psychology gene. You can't do therapy on dead people. As I said, I really find that off-putting in your videos.
I don’t do PC analysis of the past. I make jokes about their views. that’s all. it’s not that deep. If you’re too sensitive about light hearted jokes, the internet is not the place for you
Thank you.
You're welcome!
betterhelp has been proven to be a horrible service to both users and therapists, is a sponsorship really worth promoting a potentially dangerous service? unsubscribed.
I've been using it for over a year and a half, and my friends all use it. None of us have had bad experiences. There was a thin a few years ago when Better Help was in controversy and everyone got rid of their sponsorships with them, but then that was debunked. Even Philip DeFranco recently spoke how he regretted his rash reaction to something which was fabricated and blown out of proportion. There's no proof to those claims and that scandal was debunked years ago.
