I read in the Anabasis Xenophon describing a similar Thracian war dance while the Hellenes where serving under the Thracian king Seuthes.

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

Im sure these types of war dances were quite common throughout many cultures actually.

[@jumpersteam8499]

it's the same dance. The book Anabasis Xenophon is mentioning the Pyrrichian Dance. It's not "these" type of war dances. It's THE war dance pyrrychian. And it's still being done in greece

[@AV-Art]

This was fantastic. Keep up the good work

[@Gabriel-br4qe]

This would fit so well in a Robert Eggers movie about ancient greece

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

[@nicholasmaximus3412]

Wonderful work as always. Do you think physical training such as calisthenics was commonly performed in armor to better train the body?

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

Thank you! We know that the hoplitodromos was done in armour (running in armour), apart from that, unfortunately our sources really do not mention a lot. I do cover some of this at least from a Spartan perspective in my upcoming agoge video

[@nicholasmaximus3412]

@@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History excellent I look forward to seeing it! I know from our understanding of how the Romans trained with weighted weapons and the Persians used weighted clubs it's almost safe to assume similar training methods existed in Hellas besides the light stone weights they used for the long jump.

hey woah i was there woah

Arkada çalan çalgı nedir acaba Karadeniz tulumuna benziyor

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

its an Aulos, like a flute

[@lusolad]

The gorgon on the shield is that an actual historical image?

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

Yep! Some evidence pointing to it being a symbol for one of the bands of Athens, but nothing concrete

[@HO-bndk]

If this was supposed to be a "training dance" then it'd be vastly more energetic that that! What you did there looked like something that girls would have done.

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

This type of dance was not a fitness dance, but a training dance. We do not know entirely what they looked like, but we know it took the soldiers through the major parts of battle. Which this speculative reconstruction did. Also, id assume you have never done dance nor worn armour, for this is energetic and tirering, and its only around 4 minutes, mind you that is 4 minutes of near constant body movement.

[@stonewirz2581]

No

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

Yes 😊

[@stonewirz2581]

@@LeonidasSparta-Fun-HistoryI mean its an approach to a true pyriche... there are so many things missing! Like your foot work is horrible your strokes are to slow given you have no *Enemy" and you really need to improve your Shield skills! But I love that people dance like this these days! So in the name of Artemis and Athena all power to you!

[@icinemagr4621]

what bull s is this???????? soudns like indian music

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

Its an aulos and lyre... a very greek instruments

[@JohnWick_897]

​​@@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History Bruh! He probably thinks ancient Greek music sounded western European baroque or classical music 😂. They only emerged after renaissance in 1300s and 1400s. He doesn't know that it is how ancient Greek music sounded approximately because that's how even modern traditional Greek music sounds albeit with some instrumental updates and additions. Even mediaeval western European music sounded somewhat closer to Greek Byzantine (Roman) music. Early mediaeval western European music even more close to this Greek Byzantine music.

[@JohnWick_897]

Also my brother, it is the Greek music theory which was used and has influenced Arabic music or middle eastern music also Persian Iranian music. Because ancient Greeks developed most advanced music theory after Pythagoras and Aristoxenus and when Alexander conquered Middle East and Persia, Greek music theory replaced the older Babylonian music theory which was used throughout the old world of Middle East, ancient Egypt and North Africa. Later Romans also adopted Greek music theory and spread it in Mediterranean Europe too and it was also used in Roman Empire and Byzantine (Roman) Empire. It was through Byzantines that Arab muslims learnt Greek music theory.

[@JohnWick_897]

And for your info ancient Greeks also influenced Indian music as indians didn't have any music theory before. It only came after Alexander the great also invaded Northwest India. Indians learnt music theory from Greeks of Indo-Greek kingdom which descended from Greco-Bactrian kingdom ultimately from Greek Selucid Empire of Middle East and Persia. Greeks of Indo-Greek kingdom had huge influence in Indian Culture, Dramas, Arts, Sculptures, Science , Philosophy, Mathematics, Architecture, Music, even brought first writing system and concept of writing to India. That's why this original ancient Greek music sounds Indian cuz Indians adopted Greek music.

[@JohnWick_897]

Maybe even Chinese and East Asian music is influenced from ancient Greek music theory indirectly from contact through greeks of Graco Bactrian Kingdom of Afganistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with Han China 200BC appx.
