​@@HorsesOnYT I'm so glad that my partner showed me your channel. It's been amazing🤟

[@rafiki305]

Spot on, Im in the middle of slowly binging your videos , while hoping i don't hit the end of them too soon. I love the variety of topics, the beautiful - disturbing images, the text, basically everything....All of which are very pleasing, causing many, many dopaminergic neurons to display firework-like displays in my brain after day after long f****** day of unpraised laborious work. You'll reach 1 mil subs tomorrow. or very soon. Ty for the content ....also shoutout to my boy saxo -Rafiki

Do you do the art in the videos? @HorsesOnYT

Imma be so honest, I feel like I’m a young feverish Victorian child with consumption being told a tall tale by the towns mad man watching this

[@carolthompson2394]

Weary means tired. I love your channel. Just recently subscribed. I think you meant wary or leery. Hopefully that is helpful! Your channel rules!

[@Imabeatyouman]

You should read the children of Odin… there’s a particular anecdote or story of a very similar nature towards the end of the book. It involves the child of a guy getting his kingdom usurped by his uncle, the boy lives in the woods as a wild man and bandit. He then becomes strong and infamous, Retuening years later and basically killing the king in combat and all of his close Allies.. he did this by fire as well.. there was no romance but it was written as a childrens tale I don’t remember all the details unfortunately but the audiobook can be found for free on KZbin. This must be a different rendition of the story of Amleth

[@ursulageorgeson7086]

Any plans to release these as podcasts? I'd love to listen whilst travelling, KZbin is pain to keep open in the background. Thanks for great content x

[@Moppup]

I didnt even know Hamlet was inspired by anything! What a fascinating video. Thank you so much, this is an important facet of literature I might not have ever know if not for your channel. ❤

[@PinataOblongata]

Psst, just FYI, at 14:06 that should be "wary", not "weary". To be wary of something is to pay heed to it and be cautious of its possible dangers. Weary is a synonym of tired. One should be wary of making mistakes once they become to weary ;)

[@salamander405]

I have been meaning to watch The Northman since the day it came out but I just never got around to it. I kept seeing this video on your channel and I kept thinking that I need to watch that movie before I watch this video. I finally decided enough was enough and that I will watch it tonight and oh my lord, it was amazing! It's everything I love about The Lighthouse but better. Thank you so much for indirectly turning me onto this movie.

You're my new favourite channel I fucking love the whole thing.

[@andreasandersson2994]

Very cool, stylish, well-informed. I am desperately trying to figure out if RFK jr really is that wonky, or if he is just doing a Hamlet/Amleth, so he does not appear dangerous, for however it is out there, that see the Kennedys as a threat. My current view is that he is playing a ruthless game, where he is much more Amleth than Hamlet.

[@Makeitsmoky]

The Draugr scene was nice to see.

[@coledavidson5630]

How did Amleth know about the pigs eating human flesh and the daggers in the river?

[@AugustCrossroads]

Taste. It could even be his doing.

[@Dark_AbsoI]

Wow, what a great story! The Northman was a fun movie but after listening to this it could’ve been so much more. Then again maybe a 120 minute movie wouldn’t do justice to the story of Amleth.

With a name like Grammaticus it was a really very fortunate coincidence indeed that his profession involved writing. I mean of all the luck someone could have, then what are the chances of exactly _that_ l wonder.

14:08 you mean to say either "leery" or "wary", meaning cautious or distrustful, but like many people you combined the two and said "weary", which means sleepy. That's my vocab nerd deed for the day, you're welcome.

The movie would have been a way different watch with Amleth acting all derpy for the first and second acts.

[@mariahanczewska8109]

It's weird to listen about film that I turn off LAUGHING because they showed supposedly Rus, and I'll bet that at least half of the extras screamed in Polish. XD No, it's not a matter of language similarity, East Slavic languages are not similar enough for me, as a Pole, to confuse them with my language. On serious note- murdered people screaming in my language caused me, firstly, to feel something more than usual in scenes of this type, and secondly, not root for the protagonist, because how can you wish well to a guy who murdered an entire village?

Latin wasn’t a vernacular language in the Middle Ages but the belief that only a handful of scholars could read it is an uninformed opinion. It was the language of religion, science, and history in Europe which anyone going into those fields was expected to learn
