Ancient Athens: Highlights of Athenian History (History of Ancient Greece)

[@stollinroned5090]

As a Greek living in Athens I'm extremely excited for this full history of my city.

[@HistorywithCy]

Haha a "full history" would take much longer than this... but I promise, I'll have many more videos with specific events from Athenian history as well as some well-known Athenians for sure! Thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it... more Greek history coming up, stay tuned!

You actually touched on the differences of our perception of literature in history in the word tyrant. Very well done, not many pick up on these. However a tyrant didn’t seize power necessarily, they were very often voted to their position so they were more like an elected town / village / city leader.

[@HistorywithCy]

Hi, thanks for the info, appreciate it! Yeah I think the definition I read somewhere (can't remember exactly) was that it was any leader that was unconstitutionally brought to power. I think a separate video on tyrants would be really interesting and fun to do. My favorite is Polycrates, the tyrant of Samos. He has a very interesting story. Thanks for stopping by and the comment, really appreciate them. More Greek history on the way for sure, stay tuned!

[@MasterHaloOne]

Tyrants did seize power. Where did you learn your history from! Power blood and death ruled in that day as it does now. Have you just seen Joe Biden threaten those with no vaccine. That is killing people?

[@Saint_Sin]

@@MasterHaloOne The word tyrant did not mean the same thing back then. What the hell does the current presidentof the U.S have to do with a discussion on eveolution of language in ancient history? PLEASE NOTE THIS QUESTION IS RHETORICAL. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR CRAZY POLITICAL RANT.

"The Homeric poems were first written down in more or less their present form in the seventh century B.C. Since then GREEK HAS ENJOYED A CONTINUOUS TRADITION DOWN TO THE PRESENT DAY. Change there has certainly been. But there has been no break like that between Latin and Romance languages. Ancient Greek is not a foreign language to the Greek of today as Anglo-Saxon is to the modern Englishman. The only other language which enjoys comparable CONTINUITY OF TRADITION is Chinese." Browning 1983, p. vii: Medieval and Modern Greek Robert Browning Cambridge University Press, Aug 18, 1983

[@kotsaris87]

I've noticed that a lot of KZbin videos mention Athens as a small city, perhaps because they see Wikipedia's article about the MUNICIPALITY of Athens (population 650.000), and not the whole city. Athens metropolitan area has possibly 3.7 million residents, and is the 8th largest urban area in the EU.

Απίστευτος! Υπέροχος! Ένδοξος! Ανεκτίμητος! Great Video! Throughout the 5th century BC, more precisely during Pericles' rule (461-429 BC), the so-called "first citizen of Athens" ("Πρώτο πολίτη των Αθηνών"), Athens was at the height of its power (whether culturally, politically, economically or socially). Throughout the 5th century BC, in MY historical analysis, Athens represented the "queen of Attica" ("Η βασίλισσα της Αττικής"), the "city of cities" ("Η πόλη των πόλεων"), the city of "scholars and philosophers" ("Μια πόλη φιλοσόφων και μελετητών") and the "cradle of democracy" ("το λίκνο της δημοκρατίας"). The construction of the Parthenon itself, for example, was exactly intended to "symbolize" and "personify" the glory of the city! The Athenian Acropolis, more precisely the Parthenon, became "Pericles' greatest legacy" ("Η μεγαλύτερη κληρονομιά του Περικλή") and, of course, the "glory of Athens" ("Η δόξα της Αθήνας"), as I like to call it. The Parthenon, in MY historical analysis, was not only Pericles' greatest legacy, but it was also (and it still is) the very "personification" of the Athenian "Golden Age". In addition to replace the ancient buildings of the Acropolis (which were completely DESTROYED by Mardonius' troops after Leonidas' defeat at Thermopylae), Pericles had also the intention to "overcome" the magnificence of the ancient buildings with HIS new Acropolis! The Spartan hegemony, for example, lasted 33 years (404-371 BC). The Theban hegemony, which began after Epaminondas' brilliant victory over the Spartans at Leuctra (371 BC), in turn, lasted only 9 years (371-362 BC). However, the Athenian military and political influence, on the other hand, lasted for almost an ENTIRE century! Despite the Athenian defeat in the Peloponnesian War, Athens amazingly managed to maintain its cultural hegemony within Greece (Ελλάς), something that Sparta NEVER managed to achieve! Among the six main poleis (cities) of Mainland Greece throughout the Archaic and Classical periods (Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Argos and Megara), Athens is the ONLY one that stands today! Furthermore, the Athenian cultural legacy still persists. Even after the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC, which was carried out by consul Lucius Mummius Achaicus, Athens still maintained its cultural legacy! The Athenian legacy, therefore, is timeless!

[@HistorywithCy]

Yes, that legacy lives on! I think it's mainly because Athens the center more of an empire of ideas and art than anything else. I sometimes wonder though, what if Alexander had done to Athens what he did to Thebes after the latter revolted. Would their legacy still have been the same? What would have been left of the city? Good thing it didn't happen but it's one of those things I sometimes think about... Anyway as always, thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it! More Greek history on the way, stay tuned!

Great video ! Is there any clue showing what was going on to the site during early greek migration ( or invasion ) and during Dorian migration ( or invasion ). It would be great if in the future can get videos on this topic. Thank you CY for your awesome job.

[@HistorywithCy]

That's a good question. There are different hypotheses, the main for Greek migration being that they were Indo-European nomads who eventually entered the peninsula around 2000 BC. As for Dorians, now the popular hypothesis is that instead of invading as ancient writers and many 20th-century archaeologist have claimed, they instead may have always been a subset, or lower class during Mycenean times who rose up in rebellion and may have been one of the factors that led to the collapse of Mycenean civilization. Other hypotheses abound but those are the most popular at the moment. Hope this helps!

[@e-deternaldatabase4721]

Thank you very much for your explenation. Yes indeed there are a lot of patterns and issues that need to be solved or nearly solved. Maybe part of the key is solving the true form of IE mobility if it was fully nomad or partially nomad or expeditionary style devided by social status some mobile some non' etc etc. Anyway till new findings i am happy to enjoy your videos.

Nothing to add (as far as Athens goes). Great video. Im just sorry adverts must be included. THUMB UP I was surprised to see the name of Bojkov in this video, you showed an item from his collection. Vassil Bojkov was a "great name" within the Bulgarian mafia elite and was a good friend of Mr Pavlov- the mafia King in Bulgaria from 199x to 2002. Mr Bojkov has more than 500 000 000 EU probably, no one knows how much money he has (including in the form of antique items and houses abroad) ...The guy might even make it to the history books in 2060-2070 if there were a chapter about the period 1990-2000 in Bulgaria. Many millionaires were "created " at that time while some had too few to eat at home and worked for 150-200 USD/ month (in 1991 I mean). I was not expecting to see him or his name here. But he (Mr. V. Bojkov) is said to be a really smart guy with education in mathematics and he is a self-educated specialist in arts and Greek items and also other stuff. He even did some "nice things " apart from his let me say not so clear ways of getting ancient items - i.e. he financed a team of archeologists who legally worked somewhere in Bulgaria. Sadly, Bulgaria is known to have a problem with "the disapperances of some archeological findings " from Bulgarian territory, even though we have tons of stuff in our museums. Bulgaria is indeed a paradise for lovers of the Ancient world and for those who care about Roman culture and Greek culture

Zeus was a Pelasgian (ancestors of Albanians), not a Helen. Iliad and Odyssey were oral poems of Pelasgians, which later were written in Illyric/ Albanian. The oracle of Zeus, Dodona of Epirus, was the Temple of Pelasgians. After Iliad the language of Gods was Gheg, North Albanian Dialect. (Herodotus) After Science Magazine 2023, the Albanian Language is older than 8000 years, much older than the Greek and Armenian languages. Zacharias Papantoniou (Greek: Ζαχαρίας Παπαντωνίου) was a Greek writer. He was born in Karpenissi of Evrytania in February 1877 and died in Athens in 1940. He spent the first years of his life in Granitsa, where his father was a teacher. Apart from a writer, he was also a journalist. Many of the works of Zacharias Papantoniou, unfortunately, are censored because they tell the truth on Greek history. In that censored group is also the book, ''The King Otto''. Below we state a fragment from this book: ''The young Prince for first time come in Athens on January 25, 1833, he hardly heard anyone speak in Greek and so he asked: "Where are the Greeks in Athens?" His court looked at each other and answered: "There are no Greeks, but do not be troubled because this Albanian population will always be faithful to your monarchy." Triantafyllidis later wrote, with some exaggeration, that the introduction of Demotic Greek into schools in 1917 was the first official recognition of the mother tongue ever made. Now that Greece had succeeded in winning Macedonia and other regions, disputed until that moment, Venizelos no longer considered it dangerous to introduce demotic Greek into the schools; indeed, one of the main reasons why the triumvirate [Triantafyllidis, Delmouzos, Glinos - the three leaders of the Educational Association] was appointed was the problem of integrating the non-Greek speaking populations of Greek Macedonia. Venizelos had already argued in Parliament, in 1914, that the populations of the New Lands (areas included within Greece as a result of the Balkan wars), only by being educated in the spoken language, could learn Greek. Triantafyllidis noticed that even the Albanian-speaking populations of Attica, at the gates of Athens, were not linguistically Hellenized.
