Fun fact: the Hellenic (Greek) national anthem "Ode to Freedom" is actually the longest national anthem In the whole world (the actual poem) , this is just the part chosen for the national anthem. And it's the only national anthem dedicated to freedom.

[@1985LISS]

I THINK ITS 55 VERSES, I KNOW MORE THAN WHAT THEY TAUGHT US IN GREEK SCHOOL BUT ITS NICE :D

[@papatzimistasos]

@@1985LISS actually the poem is 158 verses .

[@andreasalbarosa7247]

There is the full version and is 55 minutes

[@iliascassidy1535]

9 stripes represents the 9 syllables of the phrase "ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ Ή ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ" : Ε...ΛΕΥ...ΘΕ...ΡΙ...Α ... Ή ... ΘΑ...ΝΑ...ΤΟΣ that translates into "FREEDOM OR DEATH"

Hymn to Liberty is the longest national anthem in the world by length of text. It consists of 158 verses

[@miastupid7911]

ARISTOTLE WAS GREEK. Way before Roman anything. Etymology of his name: Aristos = Optimal Best and Tele which means end or more apt infinite, from a far or by far. Meaning he was the optimal best to the infinite. Infact telephone ☎ and television 📺 are 2 more words that use tele as a prefix in these 2 cases. Tele and phone both being Greek words meaning a voice from afar. Tele (Greek for from afar / beyond) and vision (Latin and then Anglo-Saxon) and you know what that means. Teleios is another form/ conjugation of the word describing something that is perfect / exemplary. And it is hymn to FREEDOM (ελευθερια means freedom meaning freedom or death).

ΣΕ ΓΝΩΡΙΖΩ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΚΟΨΗ, ΤΟΥ ΣΠΑΘΙΟΥ ΤΗΝ ΤΡΟΜΕΡΗ I RECOGNIZE YOU BY THE DREDFUL BLADE OF YOUR SWORD ΣΕ ΓΝΩΡΙΖΩ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΟΨΗ, ΠΟΥ ΜΕ ΒΙΑ ΜΕΤΡΑΕΙ ΤΗΝ ΓΗ I RECOGNIZE YOU BY THE STATURE OF YOUR FORCE WHICH REIGNS THE LAND ΑΠ’ ΤΑ ΚΟΚΚΑΛΑ ΒΓΑΛΜΕΝΗ, ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ ΤΑ ΙΕΡΑ COMES FROM GREEKS’ SACRED BONES ΚΑΙ ΣΑΝ ΠΡΩΤΑ ΑΝΔΡΕΙΩΜΕΝΗ AND AS GALLANT AS IN THE PAST ΧΑΙΡΕ Ω ΧΑΙΡΕ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ!! (WE CRY) HAIL OH HAIL FREEDOM!!

[@wardafournello]

As usual in Greek texts, also in the national anthem there is a universal view on the concept of Freedom. It is obtained by the power of arms, by violence and by sacrifices, and it applies to every people who fought for their Freedom. Divine Greece,long live Hellas.

[@princessgothicgirl1584]

Our national anthem is part of the poem written by Dionysios Solomos in Zakynthos in 1823 entitled Hymn to Freedom and set to music by Nikolaos Mantzaros. The entire poem ofDionysios Solomos consists of 158 quatrains (or 632 verses). But of these, only the first 24 were established as the national anthem of our country in 1865. Finally, the first two prevailed and are the ones that echo and accompany the raising and lowering of the flag and are sung in official moments and ceremonies: From November 18, 1966, the Greek national anthem was established as the national anthem of the Republic of Cyprus as well.

THEY DIDN'T TRANSLATE THE WROD BONES SO THEY TRANSLATE HOW THEY FEEL ITS RIGHT BUT NOT ALL WAS LITERAL

[@sto_karfi842]

"From the greeks of old whose dying brought to life and free spirit" acrually the translation here is out of what we hear in greek...

[@mr.black8144]

9 stripes blue and white means freedom or death ε λευ θε ρι α η θα να τος

[@IonidisIX]

Lyrics Word for word: (might not make 100% sense to people as these are verses of a poem to Liberty) Se gnorizo apo tin kopsi - I know you from the sharpness tou spathiou tin tromeri - of the sword, the formidable/terrible Se gnorizo apo tin opsi - I know you from the sight Pou me via metraei tin gi - that with force measures the earth Ap'ta kokkala vgalmeni - From the bones taken Ton Ellinon, ta Iera - of the Greeks, the Holy 3x Kai san prota andreiomenoi - And like in the beginning being brave Haire o Haire Lefteria - Hail oh Hail Liberty Free translation: I recognise you from the formidable sharpness of your sword I recognise you from your eyes (sight) as you measure with haste and force the ground around you You are brought up (coming from) the holy bones of the Greeks (i.e. the Greeks that died valiantly in battle for Greece) And like in the beginning (ancient times) being brave, we Salute you oh Liberty (this is a hymn to Liberty, the poet imagines her as a woman (Eleftheria - Liberty is a feminine word) walking about a battle field, yielding a sword and measuring up the ground around her with haste because she intends on fighting the enemy there)

[@_YouTube-User_]

That's only the first part the whole version is over half an hour long

[@IonidisIX]

@@_KZbin-User_ if you are referring to Dionysios Solomos' poem "Hymn to Liberty" yes, of course I never said this is the entire poem). :)

[@_YouTube-User_]

@@IonidisIX yes I'm referring to the entire hymn of liberty

[@1985LISS]

ARISTOLTLE WAS GREEK, BUT THE ROMANS ARE OUR CHILDREN. SAME DNA. SAME FACE SAME RACE.

[@georgiosomythos6430]

Is that a joke? Who made this translation on that video? He f.. up big time... 😂

[@user-qu2ww3pw9i]

ARISTOTEL ROMAN? JESUS

[@BillPapoulias]

yes, its true, the translation ate plenty words there, especially at the part with Greek's bones out of flesh...

[@1985LISS]

ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE NATIONAL FLAG, ITS REALLY THE SEA FLAG BECAUSE THE LINES REPRESENTS THE WAVES OF THE SEA AND THE WHITE THE FOAM THAT MAKES IT LIKE A DESIGN ON THE SAND. THE LAND FLAG IS THE WHITE CROSS ON THE BLUE FIELD SO WE ARE A FAMILY OF BLUES LOL :D

[@commantermormont1657]

The translation you read wasn't very good. From wiki: I know you from the blade Of the sword, the terrifying [blade], I know you from the appearance, Which, with force, measures the earth. From the bones taken out, the sacred (bones) of Greeks And as first brave again, Rejoice, oh rejoice, liberty!

[@ermioniburgess8720]

Is very difficult to translate the song in English.Greek is far more rich and more deep language.

[@viciouslady1340]

No country sings their anthem with the passion of Greeks , its really something to experience in person. You are a Hellene ❤. Please contact your uncle he will love to hear from you . Perhaps set you up with a Greek wife. My parents and grandparents were in shipping too. Im from Crete is really is the best place for food. It appears you have the ice blue Cretan eyes too. Also remember in Greece we say God Nation and family .

[@gesthimanichatzigrigoriu]

Dear friend, you have a big confusion on Greek ancient history and Mythology and would be nice to read it again! It"s very interesting. Aristotele was Greek and teacher of Alexanderr the Great. Have a nice reading!

[@helenm5124]

The Romans conquered the Greeks and assimilated their culture and gods. So Zeus is Δίας (Dias) in Greek, Venus is Αφροδίτη (Aphrodite)...etc

[@kapoioskapoiou8631]

Zeus is Ζευς in greek . Δίας is actually used wrong. Στην ονομαστική λέγεται Ζευς όχι Δίας

[@racephase]

omg the translation in this video you saw is ATROCIOUS.. almost everything is wrong!

[@raccoonterrorist]

You should react to anorimoi a great greek metal band. I suggest Το Μέγεθος Μετράει

[@Billswiftgti]

All 3 names you mentioned are not Greek xD

[@user-vz4eo9kv9n]

you are wrong in many of what you say!!search better about the mythology of ancient Greece.nice video👍 make the video again with correct information

[@kolokotronis84]

its liberal translation of Anthem....

[@fazzxides8429]

If you’re going to feign ignorance (Jupiter/Zeus and all that Roman/Greek confusion) it needs to be done more subtly than you managed here or it comes off as cheap comment bait..

[@thehentaifriend5006]

Let me say this as a Greek. Some parts could have been translated differently, BUT, I get it in a sense of the message passed towards a different culture, so I'm gonna let it pass, because most of it, it passes the message about freedom and independance and the unity our ancestors have had passed to us. Good job man. I really enjoied the video :)
