- When you think of the most famous ancient Greek sculptures in the world-The Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, Hermes of Olympia-you immediately think of smooth, white stone. But ancient Greek statues were originally colorful. REALLY colorful.
In this episode of Misconceptions, host Justin Dodd breaks down some myths about Ancient Greece. Let’s dive in.

When Pandora opened it, did that mean Pandora's Jar was ajar?
best comment ever
You may be offering this topic in November, but I suggest Misconceptions about US Elections. Also (here's one out of left field!) Misconceptions of Women's Lingerie - yes there are many!!
I love both of these ideas!!
8:34 if I have any misconception of the seven wonders, I blame all the Civilization games. 😅
Just one more turn tho!
When I see pictures of what these statues might have looked like with their paint colors, it makes me think of the paint-by-numbers figures I used to do as a kid 🤣
Videos about other ancient societies (Palmyra, Carthage, ancient Persia etc) would be cool
the gift horse was for Athena, not for the Trojans. Troy reclaimed it as the horse was a symbol of Troy
The trojan horse is not part of Homers Iliad but its sequels (namely the little Iliad and the Aeneid)
Helen didn't leave her King or Sparta willingly, Paris KIDNAPPED HERRRRR. Straight up stole the whole woman!!!!
Sorry, Have you got a hair shirt, or is it a natural fire hazard. Pip pip
In the story, the Greeks did not build the horse as a gift to the Trojans. In fact, they left behind Sinon to lie about what the horse was for, and he said that it was their tribute to the god Poseidon, and that one of the reasons they made it so big was so that the Trojans could NOT bring it inside the city and make it their own. It was reverse psychology.
Prótos.
The first donuts were made in Grease.
"Sparta, arguably the most famous of the greek city states".....Athens looking your way with murderous intent for no apparent reason
yeah A Trojan Horse Malware Virius is also used in a contemporary sense as its a virus used in Cyberattacks/Hacking.
What topic should you cover next? Well, how about those Walls of Babylon! Getting us all hyped up without delivering is just cruel :P
How could Pandora have a jar? What was it made out of. Does he mean amphora? So glass jars and metal lids didn't exist. Can you make a clay jar with a lid?
it was more like an urn rather than a jar
