[@HistoryHouseProductions]

Who knew that kicking out the population of a whole city would make you unpopular?

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

I know right? Who'd thunk it lol. Congrats on the channel growth btw man!

[@HistoryHouseProductions]

Thank you! It looks like you’re getting back into the swing of things as well, so I look forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Welcome back!

Great video

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Thanks!

[@FreedomFox1]

Thanks for bringing attention to such a neglected part of history. It would have been interesting to see details about the battle and also why Hieron moved people from one town to another. Ancient geopolitics is fascinating.

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

There's very little info on the battle :( and yes Syracuse and its surrounding areas seem to be overshadowed by Rome Greece and Carthage which is slightly sad as so much history happened there!

[@FreedomFox1]

@@AncientHistoryGuy I figured that might be the case. It's striking that such a large city would have so little known about it. It even maintained its importance after the fall of the western Roman Empire, when the Greek Byzantines/Eastern Romans made Syracuse a major hub of their westward conquests.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

I came to hear the story of the city of Archimedes - 1 of the very best minds ever, but you didn't even mentioned him in any of the parts...

[@markwang898]

Do one about Indo Greek kingdoms

[@runwize]

Can we get a Miletus (school) episode?

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

stay tuned....

[@IlleScrutator]

As a native of Catania, I'd say that Hieron deserves it, hehe

[@granddukethedan7029]

Where's the old wholesome animation style? Noooooo... :'( But still a great vid nevertheless

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Did a poll on my social medias about three isshhhh months ago asking if i should switch to a more realistic type of graphics, the realistic graphics came overwhelmingly on top. So the switch was made. Now that i have a large collection of these graphics the videos are a lot easier to make and take wayyyy less time :)

[@granddukethedan7029]

@@AncientHistoryGuy but still, the old style distinguished your channel from others.

Please either fix your pronunciations or put the text of all proper nouns on the screen as your pronunciations can't be relied upon to determine who the heck you are referring to. Gelon="Jell-o?" Pindar="Pind-uh?" Parts 1&2 of this series are the only videos of yours I have seen and they are full of such strange pronunciation choices. Why should I bother watching any others?
