Cassandra is such a tragic character. Cursed by Apollo with foresight yet nobody would believe her simply because she rejected him. I never knew this was how she died which makes her story even sadder.
Not to mention she was sexually assaulted by Ajax the Lesser during the sack of Troy, in Athena's temple no less. She took refuge there to pray for protection from the Gods.
@@annablaze4577 there is another version where he gets revived by circe , he dies from grief after his daughter with circe kills telemachus who himself killed circe for some reason, no idea what they were taking when writing this story...
I was waiting for his tale we know that Troy fell but I didn't know too much about the aftermath of most of the Greek heroes. Also I feel sorry for Cassandra at least she's free from her nightmare
@@bisolaadebija1511 even if she did accept him it would have ended in tragedy. we all know romance with a God leads to trouble it was pretty much a lose-lose situation.
Achilles has always been my favorite Greek legendary hero flaws and all. At least he felt remorse for his actions compared to some that did whatever the heck they wanted.
Agamemnon:"Well I don't have any treasures or perfect womens"! Achilles:"Uh...I think you blind becauses you get all the treasures for yourself look at it dude"...
@@DarthBodya HUH?! Since when? Helios is the Titan of the Sun, Apollo is a Olympian God. These two are *different* deities and Apollo doesn't even have a roman name
Where did you read this from? Not gonna lie, but I feel really sorry for Cassandra. She literally did not ask for that. I feel like most comments I’m finding they’re all blaming the victim.
Something that is interesting, is to compare King Arthur and Agamemnon's modern reception. They are very similar figures in their respective primary texts. They lead a group of heroes, and are warlike conquerors. They have similar origin stories of gaining a rightful throne after exile. They are mighty figures in the texts but not above criticism, the ultimate glorification is of the deities. They both do some very "supervillain" actions, such as killing children. Agamemnon unlike Arthur never tried to publically execute his wife but it seems like something he would consider. Both of them treat women like they're entitled to whichever one they want, which they were. Both of their wives have lovers who they plot with to usurp the throne. Both of them hang around with someone who can see the future but completely ignore their warnings. Ultimately both were ancient rulers from patriarchal cultures acting as they had to in order to retain power. But when you get to the modern reception it's night and day, to the point that I guess for many Arthur sounds unrecognisable here.
According to the "Agamemnon" of Aeschylus, Cassandra had a last vision before she entered to the palace. She KNEW that she would gonna be killed and could not avoid it. The only satisfaction for her is that she will be avenged and Clitemnestra would also die by her own family
Here's a funny video idea how about you make mythology what if basically the stores in mythology if but what if they took a different turn Like for example the story of Hephaestus trying to sleep with Athena but in that what if he would have gotten her pregnant
Agamemnon was a hero of Troy he sacrifice Ifgenia because the gods and goddess requested it because 🎉🎉Agamemnon slayed one of Artemis deers, and to sail to Troy he had no choice, Clymenestra, Helen of Troy was the reason of the terrible fate Paris committed against the goddesses, Athena had already seen the union of Helen and Menalous, She chose Odysseus after Telemachus birth to go and battle in Troy, Clymenestra had 2 more children she did not have to Slay Agamemnon. Agetius wanted to b Agamemnon, her and her lover deserved death.

@@DHKAMITY Well, that's what she gets for rejecting Apollo.
@@DarthDread-oh2ne🧐
She should have foretold the opposite
@@thesilverbeast6092yeah you have a point it could work.
Agamemnon:"And that's how I died. What about you, Odysseus?"
Odysseus:"Actually I'm still alive."
Bro got killed by his son from Circe
@@wolfsbanealphas617that story was a fan fic

The Odyssey (Odysseus)
The Oresteia (Orestes)
The Aeneid (Aeneas)
Titular protagonists

The Greek heroes after dying terribly: Maybe we shouldn't have thrown Hector's son over the wall.
Part three of the trilogy.
Part 1: Trojan War Saga
Part 2: Odyssey
Part 3: Oresteia
Part 4: The Aeneid
@@milutinstankovic4638part 5? Divine comedy
I swear, 90% of Greek mythology happens because Gods aren't good with rejection.
Honestly, after kidnapping the Trojan women and children and throwing Hector's kid over the wall, the Greeks deserved these terrible deaths.
cry
no. don't compare nowadays to back then.
Very true
Troy: Ahh, vengeance is sweet. Let's be honest, he had it coming.
I hate Cassandra.
No, he didn't. Troy had it coming.
@@DarthDread-oh2newhat did Cassandra do?
@@ecurewitz She promised to be with Apollo in one of the versions but went back on her word.
@@DarthDread-oh2ne she didn’t deserve to be murdered by strangers
The Oresteia, alright! So what's next after Oresteia, The Aeneid?
NO SACRIFICE NO VICTORY
can’t wait for the rest love greek mythology
I have been waiting you THIS ONE!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
KEEP IT UP!!!!
You inspired me to love history
You guys are amazing
Achilles has always been my favorite Greek legendary hero flaws and all. At least he felt remorse for his actions compared to some that did whatever the heck they wanted.
Didn't he ordered the Trojan Princess Polyxena to be killed in his honor? He felt sorry for killing Troilus and Tenes?
Clytemnestra is almost sympathetic, at least until to see what she tries doing to Orestes and Electra
Her son Orestes killed her.
@@auto952 so?
Actually she wasn't.
I'd feel bad for the guy... Except I don't.
Agamemnon deserved every stab for all the crimes he comitted throughout his reign and pre-reign. House of Atreus was doomed after all.
And the Trojans weren't?
For all the crimes they committed as well?
Its a tragedy dude, it's meant to teach us about avoiding these behaviours
What are you talking about?? Agamemnon was no worse than any other hero.
@@ThePaganSun exactly, they all had pretty bad flaws or mad bad decisions
Thanks for the video
Agamemnon:"Well I don't have any treasures or perfect womens"!
Achilles:"Uh...I think you blind becauses you get all the treasures for yourself look at it dude"...
The scary fate of the Oregon Emmons here in death within one
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
For the Trojan war, it looks like no one really won.
When you doing Aeneid or a Video about DarDanus?!?!?!!???
What Kratos in GoW game do to Apollo, he really deserve it.
That was Helios, not Apollo
@@jessnalulila5709 same dude, it's Like Jupiter and Zeus.
@@DarthBodya HUH?! Since when? Helios is the Titan of the Sun, Apollo is a Olympian God. These two are *different* deities and Apollo doesn't even have a roman name
I hope Agamemnon
Was Avenged Apollo is wicked though don't like
What he did to Cassandra
He definitely was.
I read Cassandra was killed by the son because of what was done to his father
Where did you read this from? Not gonna lie, but I feel really sorry for Cassandra. She literally did not ask for that. I feel like most comments I’m finding they’re all blaming the victim.
I don't think so

Wait the prophetess had to run in to see what was going on?

All the kings that participated in Trojan war end up dead except Odysseus.
Menelaus and Diomedes didn't
Not die from war, but your choice family
MY-SEE-NEE
They is a mistake in the video
Where?
Here's a funny video idea how about you make mythology what if basically the stores in mythology if but what if they took a different turn
Like for example the story of Hephaestus trying to sleep with Athena but in that what if he would have gotten her pregnant
Agamemnon found out he wasnt the hero at home
His wife chise his cousin and was smashing aegisthus while he was fighting
She fu**ed around and found out as well, though.
out of the big greek heroes only menelaus and diomedes get the best endings
It’s giving dti Lana lore
👍🏼🏅
FINALLY the continuation of the legendary/infamous House of Atreus! 🙏🏿
Sack of wine!
He certainly wasn't. He had the strength and body of the gods, "Head and eyes like Zeus, chest like Poseidon and waist like Ares."
I'm in love with Aphrodite, Persephone, Athena,and Hera.

Agadundass, he got his
If anyone in the entire Trojan war story got a deserved fate it was agamemnon
No, it wasn't. Troy had it coming.
@@ThePaganSun honestly you could blame Paris too
Me thinking about how my namesake went out sad for no reason when she just tried to help 🫤...
