ASMR - The Trojan War

In this male ASMR bedtime story with hand movements, I tell you about Greek Mythology around the Trojan War. We explore its storylines and numerous characters, from gods like Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite and Hera to heroes and other mortals: Menelaus, Agamemnon, Odysseus, Achilles, Ajax, Patroclus, Hector, Priam, Paris, Aeneas, Helen of Troy, and many more. Discover how the feud between gods for Eris' golden apple spilled over to the world of men, and everything that ensued. I also tell you about the Trojan Horse, various other myths, and archaelogy: when and how did Greek mythology take shape? was Troy real? Where is the frontier between legend and History?
You can now listen to my stories on music streaming sites. I am on several, so search for me on your favourite one!

I'M LISTENING ON SPOTIFY...THANKS SO MUCH!

[@randomrio7935]

Please definitely do a video on The Odyssey, and maybe some Roman poetry as well, something by Virgil maybe?

[@doort5775]

If you put the time stamps in the description you can make it so the time bar is split into parts with titles

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

@@doort5775 Thanks, I didn't know that!

[@firestar2_095]

You should really do More video of greek myths, I like them alot!

[@Ryz414]

Its a shame how little attention this channel gets. ASMR with History is Awesome.

[@FireBrigadeAGoGo]

I feel like it's only a matter of time. The content is too good not to be recognized on a wider scale

[@gager998]

Hard to believe I've been watching your channel for almost 7 years now. So glad you came back from your hiatus, even if I just kept watching your same videos while you were gone. Thanks for being great.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

It feels really good to know some people have been sticking around since the start. Thank you!

[@hannahh8696]

You are one of the few ASMR creators who understands how slowly and carefully simple visual ASMR works. I adore both the Homeric and non-Homeric poems but I’m falling asleep barely a third of the way through!

[@longhumanonline6079]

I've never been more excited to see a video title, looking forward to this one later!

[@GRODON7]

Just saw this baby launch! Can't wait to go to bed tonight. Trojan War? Achilles and Hector in that whole story? I can't wait to hear

[@peteroca6737]

A word of advice. DO NOT MESS with Athena. Bad idea. 🗡🗡🗡 😳😬 Lol

Yaaaas! Scotland here! Kaboom, the number one frenchman delivers on time once again! Absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to listening to this when I hit the hay in about an hour. Thank you sir for your wonderful videos!

[@Philboshaba]

Please make more afro-centric stories😔. Do pre-colonial stories. So much history ignored by popular discourses. Stories that are just about amazing leaders in powerful civilizations that never get heard. Please please consider it.

[@stefleskiv8757]

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU! It's 4:20pm here right now and I need to go to bed momentarily, and I was dreading trying to fall asleep, and then I got this notification!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! Amazing, as always! 💖💖

[@lapeez2277]

[@mikeainsel1885]

I have discovered your channel on Spotify a few days ago. Thank you so much! You're the best ASMR artis to help me falling asleep. Greetings from your neighbor country 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Herzlich willkommen und vielen Dank!

[@sophieb7170]

I am always so happy when I see a notification from you! I’ve been studying lots of history courses and always have you on in the background to help me concentrate. Funny enough I’m moving onto Greek Mythology soon so guess this will be on my playlist! Thank you ☺️

[@jonathonredacted3396]

I love what you do here, especially without ads. Teaching history and making it relaxing, yet interesting.

[@shyce7]

He really deserves more attention, his voice is perfect and I can't imagine how much time goes into his videos, IMAGINE THE RESEARCH MAN!

[@MrTattooASMR]

Wow, one of my favorite topics.

[@lynnekangas23]

Thankyou So Much. During this devastating time for our World You have given me so much peace. I can only appreciate the amount of work and research that you put in to each story. You deserve much praise and acknowledgement for all you do . Thankyou Sir. Much Love from the USA, specifically the state of Minnesota. I will support you as I am able. 💜Namaste 🙏

[@cobaj6226]

I think i can speak for all who saw this when i say we appreciate it. Thank you!

[@HelixMX]

I can't understand how your channel isn't so much bigger. The sheer amount of content you produce and the quality of every single video is incredible. Keep up the good work 👌

[@hallieyount4471]

Amazing work as always❤️ Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@reece3163]

Been checking for a new video every night. Thank you you absolutely glorious man!

[@DemeterTelphousia-Erinyes]

I really enjoyed this , particular as I’ve been to a course of lectures on Troy and visited the British Museum exhibition last year.

[@kapsvelvethammer4314]

This is crazy because yesterday I was wishing you'd cover this exact topic! Thank you! 🙋‍♀️💜

[@joshperowne9976]

I’m going to have to rewatch this and try and figure out what bit I fell asleep at so many times!

[@saumyagaur1267]

What an absolutely calming voice... what a unique channel.... I get to know so much while being persuaded into utter relaxation ❤️ thanks for what u do

[@veridescent7392]

I love history. The Trojan war is something I’ve looked into and ADORE. I’m so happy I’ve found this channel.

[@4legsgoodblog]

Longtime listener, first time commenter. Thank you so much for your work, the care you take with it and the range of your material. This channel is a real credit to you!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Many thanks!

[@tannerk9036]

I'm loving these historical videos

[@samanthainglesant1716]

Thank you so much for making these relaxing and interesting videos. I am listening most nights to help me fall asleep so I'm always excited to see new ones!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

You're welcome 😊

[@holyfuknmolymyshitstinks3415]

I’d watch history documentaries on every topic you choose. I’ve seeked out and read history on about every topic you’ve chosen: That plus the asmr is just the bees knees. Sincerely Great channel!

[@BbJc3]

Since I have been WFH during quarantine I have been listening. It helps me focus and doesn’t distract me thanks 😊

[@isacomholt4709]

Yes! I love these history episodes

[@Fractal_blip]

This channel is legitimately the best asmr channel I've come across in my listenings since 2011

[@dondunkinz8693]

These videos deserve a million views each at least

[@verite]

A perfect break in the day to relax and learn.

[@ab_hertz4071]

I have watched this every night for a month, I’m less than 20 minutes in and I pick up where I last remember. I really want to learn about the Trojan war but also thanks for curing my insomnia

[@beatricetei]

Wonderful :) thank you I would love a video of the history of ballet 🩰 I think many people would find that soothing!

[@Soulseeker223]

If you look into Mesopotamian/Egyptian history, there's actually a good amount of historical evidence for the Trojan War. In fact there seems to have been 2, both having been fought most likely to open trade routes between Greece and the Black Sea due to a massive war going on between Egypt, the Hittites and the Mitanni that destroyed trade in region and forced the Mycenaean Greeks to look elsewhere.

[@VandalCleaver]

Another video topic that I dearly love, the Trojan War. An epic that roused the spirits of many great men throughout history.

[@Kamila-ey5vi]

It's raining outside, very cold. Time to wrap in a blanket and listen to historic tales ❤️

[@niknokbanonok]

Yes, finally it’s out!! ❤️

[@erinw8787]

Thank you for another fantastic upload 🥰👍👍

[@harrylong2796]

Brilliant as always! Saying Zeus was unfaithful is like saying the grand canyon is a small valley

[@MachineSpirit101]

You always know just what I want. Perfection 👌

[@mikeebi7004]

Bro, your mythology content is the best!

[@lorenzo3836]

This guy probably has the most interesting setup in any asmr video. I mean look at it, he has the golden apple, cloth, books, fancy candles, a drink, like wow, this is like how a movie should open up.

[@tomj2064]

How is this channel not getting the recognition it deserves

[@carys7417]

Love informative ASMR

[@ajasmr7403]

I would love more mythology content!!! It’s my favorite ☺️☺️

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I'll make the Odissey no matter what, and depending on how it is received maybe the Aeneid too.

[@rocioph2431]

Ayyyy me encanta tu voz, súper relajante 😌, pero por favor haz alguno en español.... nos tienes abandonados hace mucho! 😢 Gracias por tus maravillosos vídeos

[@noruune6787]

Down the rabbit hole I go and I love it

[@Diomedes_XXII]

Part 3 has gotta be The Æneid... The story itself is amazing. The story behind it regarding its author Virgil is almost even better... It had been written to cover Rome in Glory, at the request of Augustus Cesar or Octavian. A suggestion I guess. I know you know. #frechwhispererforlife

[@josephwoodgate9807]

Your Channel Dosent Get Near ENOUGH Subscriptions ,Your Voice ,Your Topics ,Presentations Are Top Notch!

[@joshsalter8581]

Superb!

Is this object at the top center of the table a piece of armour? It is a beautiful piece. A pleasant video, as usual, and excellent flow of the narrative.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Yes, it is. A forearm protection piece.

[@AadiASMR]

your voice is really relaxing i hope you cross 200k subscriber 😊😊

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I hope so too!

[@AmberyTear]

Yet another interesting and practical video that helps me fall asleep. Sadly, most other educational ASMR channels make it hard to relax when listening to scientific facts, even if it's about my passions. Usually I have to listen to some nonsense content about magic or occult beliefs which don't require thinking - just intuitive lazy brainlessness. Your channel is a huge exception. Perhaps because it's history and not sciences.

[@mikemcfly4297]

How about a history of Burgundy? So interesting how Burgundy shaped the European culture during the Middle Ages!

[@michelleann-marie212]

One of my favorite wars.

[@dr.rodent6810]

I love your videos and the props you always use. Where do you keep and get all your props and do you think you could do a video on all the props/antiques you have?

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I made one recently ("curiosity cabinet"). I occasionely buy props but most of them are things I grab around the house.

[@horrhiunioj507]

Merci monsieur

[@TopHatMate888]

Good video!!😃

[@jennachomolok268]

Your litterally the only person Ik of that does this type of asmr or at least the stuff that interests me but listening to grown men whisper does the opposite of make me sleepy but your videos are cool anyways

[@dcndiamonds]

How do you do this? Do you have a team helping you with all the research for your videos? The amount of work you do is insane. Thank you so much, these are my favorite videos

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks. No, I am a one man band when it comes to KZbin ;). It is work, but I compensate with organisation and I pick topics I already know a little beforehand. So I know what to talk about, in what order, and where to look for information.

[@LiamLovegrove]

Might be an early night for me then

[@stevewinkleburg5300]

Okay, Mr whisperer. This is an ancient throwback but I think you used to have a video talking about early pre marx French socialism, and I want nothing more than to see that video again

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

That would be a video called "Ideal Cities" (there were two actually, but I think the talk on early socialism was in the first part).

[@cpullcaesar2827]

Yessss

[@snarf9455]

You should do one on the gothic peoples.

[@kaosiege]

Great video! Maybe after the Odissey, you could narrate the Aeneid!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

yes I'll see how the Odissey is received and if people ask for more I could do it.
