A great, very authentic way to tell the story. If you read these very old texts (like Homer and Herodotus), you see clearly that they are intended to educate AND to to entertain, to make people wonder, laugh and shock them. Definately not to bore them to death. Always keep in mind that the audience often consisted of children, too.

Unexpectedly delightful! Unexpected because these sorts of filmed lecture videos span quite a range. Always loved the Odyssey since I was a kid back in the early '50s - not because I was some highbrow budding child scholar, but because Kirk Douglas did such a wonderful job of playing Odysseus in the 1954 film 😂 I was past early middle age when I actually read it, and not in Greek certainly. Later I'd regard it in a wholly "unscholarly" light as the finest work of fantasy and science fiction in history. And a *lot* more fun to read than Tolkien 😉

How come there are no slides to this presentation? They go blank after 18:30. Maybe having slides would have been more engaging, as a lecture.

is there any evidence for a connection between the act of contacting someones "knee" in the Greek custom to apply for supplicant status, thus implying you are in "need" and similar phonetics of the words? In other words, do the words "knee" and "need" sound similar because of an ancient Greek custom? If so that is wild. Thousands of years later and ancient customs still play a role in our vernacular.

We get knee from ancient Greek "gonu"

touching her knee kind of implies beeing on one's knees or in a lower position. Weird idea though, because *need* would then most likely belong to *ni- "down" (cp. nether-, German Niederland).

The epic poem was transmitted orally over the centuries by professional bards. This tradition is still alive. To hear what Homer would have sounded like go to 17 min of this video. It sounds great even though it is a Turkish epic. ​​kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGW0ga1oqZqHaaM​

Homer says that people who you think are Phoenicians are punished by the gods with their city buried in a mountain. The message being to not help strangers. Also, that place is described as an island so not the Phoenicians. Sounds more like Santoreni to me.

Troy was never really lost or just thought to be myth and then to be miraculously discovered by Schliemann. That is just part of Schliemann's mythbuilding around himself. Not to take away from the tremendous work he did there and with other digs. Interesting lecture otherwise.

Something is seriously wrong in the interpretation here! ---------------- How did they manage to store enough soldiers into the built Trojan Horse to conquer Troya? ----------------- Obviously archeologists don’t get this Troy Myth correctly, taking an astronomical and cosmological Story of Creation description to count for geographical locations and describing human psychological and warlike matters.

autarky noun: autarchy economic independence or self-sufficiency. "rural community autarchy is a Utopian dream" a country, state, or society which is economically independent. plural noun: autarkies; plural noun: autarchies refer to: autochthony... mistakes in history... jewish desire for autarky was also german 1930's state desire... i am not stirring the pot so to speak - merely making vague references to past-present representations of myth...

@@miastupid7911 I was just imitating the way you come across. You didn't put any timestamp to where in the video you are referencing, so I cant know if whatever "ancient turkey" reference you're talking about could be replaced with the word Anatolia. This guy knows Turkey didn't exist until the 20s I'm willing to bet, and his audience does too. It's a bit of an irrelevancy. Sometimes country names are used colloquially as region names.

I hope somebody enter the mentality of those American scholars to tell them that making jokes and being funny in lecturing is so disgusting. Making so shows them to be mean and disrespecting others. I couldn’t complete viewing this lecture for that reason. So, more order and less or even no fun at all, for we are not kids needs to be entertained with these cheap jokes in order to understand the subject.

I don't think anyone is trying to be disrespectful. These scholars have devoted their careers to studying ancient Greece, so they obviously have a lot of respect for the Greek culture. As do I. Indeed everyone in the western world should have much respect for Greece because they pretty much started it all.
