they where using the Shure Beta 58A Dynamic Microstone back in the day and it still sounds good

Friendly reminder that someone had to sing this for 37 minutes straight.
Reminder that someone played a variation on the same melody on a prepared piano for thirty minutes.
Reminder that back in the day people would sing the entire book
@@elumayo4090 They did take a break after every 8 books though, if I remember correctly.
@CapitalTeeth friendly reminder Iliad by homer was sung over the course of few nights back in Ancient Greece
Reminder that the Iliad was passed down by centuries of storytellings by elders so someone had to memorize the whole Iliad

This is maybe the most accurate rendition of Homeric Greek pronunciation and Homeric meter I've ever found on TH-cam. A real time travel. Thank you for sharing this performance.
Maybe, but Greeks definitly didnt develop Illiad, they heard it from the people that lived in Balkans and wrote it down. Juat like Jesus didng develop his stories from Bible alone, but told stories bundered if not thousends of years older than him that were popular in his area. long time before they ever arrived on Balkan.Illiad dates back to at least 1100bc and Greeks first settled on Balkans areound 800bc , so there is a 300 years gap. Homer said that they heard it from people who lived there so it was most likely developed by illyrians and original illyad probably sounded nothing like this
@@lahaine8026
The Iliad was a growing and changing thing. It was an oral tradition passed down many hundreds of years. Homer is credited because he made it popular to the Greeks. It actually probably wasn't even written down until a couple hundred years after Homer.
What was written down was what performed. Thus, this would be very accurate to what it sounded like, if even a hundred or two years after Homer.
Objectivist INTJ dude la haine is right the greeks didn’t exists back then. Plus homer was illyrian, and this sounds more like latin than ancient greek ow wait greeks didn’t exist back the pelazgians did.
@@lahaine8026 This was definitely Greek. The Mycaeneans (who initiated the trojan war) were Indo European Greeks due to the fact that Proto Greeks had settled in Greece ever since the 3rd millennium BC. The Illyrians were not in Greece and in fact were with the Greeks during the indo European migrations but settled in the western Balkans. Before the Proto Greeks were pre greek peoples who probably spoke languages like Minoan.
@@warciminal2076 Latin has loan words from Greek and was influenced by it in it's early stage. The pelasgians did not start the Trojan War. The Mycaeneans did and they were descended from Proto Greek settlers. The Illyroians were Indo European and so their presence in the Balkans wasn't older than the Greek one.
When he said "κάτι στα αρχαία ελληνικά ή κάτι τέτοιο" i felt that
Did he actually say that?
@@airplanedude3103 no im just making a joke people make in music videos that are not in languages that use the latin alphabet
My favorite part was when he said "Δεν ξέρω ελληνικά αλλά δεν θέλω να το παραδεχτώ οπότε έβαλα μια τυχαία πρόταση σε μετάφραση για να φαίνομαι έξυπνος"
Pure poetry.
@@samuelbedsole5089 specialy when he said "αυτό ακριβώς έκανα και ομολογώ ότι δεν μιλάω ελληνικά και δεν προσπαθούσα να φαίνομαι έξυπνος, απλώς κάνω ένα αστείο"

why is the piano so fucking good though
Who knows if it's historically accurate, but it's very interesting how the meters interact here.
The poem is in the famous dactylic hexameter. In simple terms, we can consider it to mean there are 6 stressed vowels, or "beats".
At the same time, the time signature of the music can be considered to be 2 bars of 4/4, meaning we have 8 beats per verse.
That way, we have 6 beats for recitation and 2 for breathing.
homer was spitting back then💥💯🗣
Exactly!
Man was spitting bars.

*"Once I heard a scholar with a fine voice read aloud from the Greek poet Homer, and I remember that the sound of the rolling lines seemed to make my blood stand still."*
Sir Henry Rider Haggard wrote the above lines in KING SOLOMON'S MINES (1885), an adventure novel whose battle scenes have been compared to those found in Homer's ILIAD. Haggard, who wrote no less than seventeen sequels to KING SOLOMON'S MINES, would also go on to write THE WORLD'S DESIRE (1890) in collaboration with Andrew Lang (who also translated Homer into English prose). THE WORLD'S DESIRE is a sequel to the ODYSSEY, and features Odysseus and Helen travelling to Egypt.

memes, history, culture, language etc. aside this is unironically pure fire 🔥
i agree gigachad
This scene in the Iliad genuinely always makes me cry. It’s when Hector comes to Troy and tells his wife Andromache that Troy is destined to fall, and he and his infant son Astyanax will die, and she will be dragged off into slavery.

This is a certified hood classic.
We need a complete recitation of Homer by this man ! This is absolutely incredible.
Hypnotic - even trippy !! I am waiting for the day when the whole of Iliad and Odyssey will be available.
Thank you I worked out to this entire song
loved this song back in the day fr, 0 BC babies will never understand
Hesiod has been really quiet since Homer released this
Great to have the music, which perfectly complements your delivery. There's a real sense of excitement and involvement in the unfolding recital. You are obviously a natural storyteller, as well as a talented performer. All that's missing is the text on screen - any chance of adding it? Thank you!
Homer is great!
I like Homer’s Illiad!
