Coriolanus, Rome's Worst Nightmare from Within | Famous Men of Virtue

Check the description for a special offer!
Gnaeus Marcius Coriolanus was early Rome's worst nightmare. Before Rome was ever a dominant empire it was a burgeoning kingdom, without voice or speech, almost constantly on the verge of collapse. In this animated history documentary on ancient Roman myths and legends, we will explore Coriolanus' life, the enemy he became, and the women who saved Rome from the Volscian plot to destroy the eternal city.
Shakespeare tells us that Coriolanus was a survivor, a man whose family had to pull him back from the brink of disaster. And in this KZbin video from the Memoria Press creative team, you'll learn how this Roman general was so much more.

This will probably sound super silly, but once I learned Coriolanus from the Hunger Games was an actual person, it basically set us into a classical education deep dive, and led us to Memoria Press 🤣

Outstanding analysis. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to craft this video. Great job.

[@maris2353]

Thanks for making this story! Came in very handy to better understand this event from the book I’m reading.

[@mikhaelis]

Proving you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

[@clumsydad7158]

It has been said that Coriolanus upon rejecting the polis becomes a beast and a god__what do you think?

[@hwan88]

Why is the guy from Dawson’s Creek making videos like this?

[@beefbonger420]

Sadly a theme we see today, bitterness and jealousy by those who have much, against the "handouts" of those with so little. 😢

The _REAL_ villain of this story was the Roman people.

[@danielefabbro822]

Yes and no. The people in general act and behave like that. They're not soldiers, they work, even hard, but war is simply too much, let alone military honor, the real one. And Coriolanus was the personification of Roman military honor. In the end, while ideologically right, he was also detached from reality and end up betraying the same city he had swore to protect. He was right in the sense that people should be better... but the reality of this world is that Humans do not descend from gods. There are no gods or god. Humans are just barely more than animals, and civilization is a bit more than the amount of power and greed or hunger a nation have. Nothing more.

In what sense, that they allow the POOR to be politically active in Roman politics?

[@eric.aaron.castro]

I agree, the Roman plebeians and tribunes had a slave morality. Coriolanus had the master morality.

[@eric.aaron.castro]

We need an antique Roman’s perspective on Coriolanus not a modern Christain in a liberal democracy.
