[@emmanouilachladiotis5272]

The Roman's wanted to be like the greeks and that's why they copied everything like the greek gods and other things but the problem with copying it's that you can't copy something you don't understand (the idea)

[@Desertfox18]

@@emmanouilachladiotis5272 Romans didn't copy Greeks, Romans were descendants of Greeks, that's why almost everything were like Greece. But there are also differences: 1. Roman weapons were far more superior than Greek weapons. 2. Rome was an one republic/empire, while Greece had city states. 3. Greece was far more superior to the Rome in terms of science, geography mathematics, art & philosophy.

These are the names of the 7( 8 ) kings of Rome. Romulus,(Titus Tatius), Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Marcius, Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius, Tarquinius Superbus. Romulus =Troian origin , Titus Tatius = sabine from Lacedemonian origin ,Numa Pompilius =sabine from Lacedemonian origin ,Tarquinius Priscus =Etruscan from paternal corinthian Doric origin ,Tarquinius Superbus granson of Tarquinius Priscus . Every attempt to dissociate Rome and Roman empire from Greek influence is doomed to failure. The granting of citizenship to allies and the conquered was a vital step in the process of Romanization. This step was one of the most effective political tools and (at that point in history) original political ideas. Previously Alexander the Great had tried to "mingle" his Greeks with the Persians, Egyptians, Syrians, etc. in order to assimilate the people of the conquered Persian Empire, but after his death this policy was largely ignored by his successors. The idea was not to assimilate, but to turn a defeated and potentially rebellious enemy (or their sons) into Roman citizens. Instead of having to wait for the unavoidable revolt of a conquered people (a tribe or a city-state) like Sparta and the conquered Helots, Rome tried to make those under its rule feel that they had a stake in the system.

[@amg9878]

@@ΓιώργοςΑ-ψ7ψ The legions were far more superior than phalanx who were outdated, Roman Empire conquered almost all the know world and lived for 2.200 years, Greeks conquered Persian Empire for 5 years (Alexander the Great), and after that Greeks just splitted up into small city-states. You can't compare the power and the Empire of Rome with the greek one, of course greeks are important in the history but Romans were just on another level. Rome had a solid Empire who lived for millenia and created the nowadays Western Civilization, the other Empires doesn't.

The Greek world did not fell with the end of Athenian or Lacedaemonian hegemony over the rest of Greeks. The way you present it now gives the false impression that Macedon and Alexander's deeds where not a continuation of the Ancient Greek world. It is historically proven that it was. The period which followed the death of Alexander III of the Argead Dynasty, is considered as the peak of Ancient Greek civilisation (hence the name Hellenistic period). The majority of the Hellenic( aka Greek) world was conquered by Rome eventually. That can be a possible time of the fall of Ancient Greece. The Greek civilisation however, survived and in fact kept thriving inside the Roman empire. The cultural fall of ancient Greece (or drastic transformation, depending on the point of view) came with the adoption of Christianity.

One can argue the Roman period cemented Hellenistic culture and preserved its legacy in the ensuing centuries.

[@julianmarsh1378]

The Greek 'mother city-states' would disagree with you. Hammond summarizes the changes that came with the rise of Macedonia. Philip, he states, offered the Greeks a new type of freedom; the freedom to cooperate with one another. He saw this as a golden opportunity for the Greeks, who had for years been destroying themselves from within. But he also concludes, "But the freedom the Greeks had enjoyed for a thousand years, that had come to an end." (not verbatim) According to many of the stories of Greek heroes, their tragedy rested in the fact that the very thing that made them successful also led to their eventual downfall. Character as fate. So fitting then, that the very thing that made the Greeks in their small states successful, would in time bring them to ruin.

MODERN GREEKS REALLY DO HAVE MYTHICAL ORIGINS. Ever since the days of Homer, Greeks have long idealized their Mycenaean "ancestors" in epic poems and classic tragedies that glorify the exploits of Odysseus, King Agamemnon, and other heroes who went in and out of favor with the Greek gods. Although these Mycenaeans were mythical, scholars have debated whether today's Greeks descend from the actual Mycenaeans, who created a famous civilization that dominated mainland Greece and the Aegean Sea from about 1600 B.C.E. to 1200 B.C.E., or whether the ancient Mycenaeans simply vanished from the region. Now, ancient DNA reveals that living Greeks are indeed the descendants of Mycenaeans, with only a small proportion of DNA from later migrations to Greece. And the Mycenaeans themselves were closely related to the earlier Minoans, the study reveals, another great civilization that flourished on the island of Crete from 2600 B.C.E. to 1400 B.C.E. (named for the mythical King Minos).

@@HandsomeStranger1963 I disagree because the Classical Era Greeks often referenced the Bronze Age Greeks in their philosophical teachings. Herodotas, Plato, Socrates and the doctor Hippocrates knew who the Myceneans and Minoans were. They knew the battle of Troy was real even though Achilles was part of mythology. King Minos of Crete was one of the first great Bronze Age Greek kings. The ordinary citizens didn't have that knowledge when they encountered the old ruins. The Spartans, Athenians, Macedonians etc all claimed heritage from the Myceneans and the older Minoans.

@@Neat_profile The Unification of Japan by the Tokugawa Shogunate was not a peaceful unification either. What difference would it make ? No unification of Greece would be peaceful whether it was Macedon, Athens or Thebes that became the leading Greek power.

Bro today's greeks have nothing in common with ancient greeks. It is widely believed that almost all greeks were gone when slavs migrated in balkans. What is even more interesting greeks and albanians seem to share a very similiar dna.

@@altinkamberi4395 That theory goes back to a thesis written by an 18th century Tyrolean traveller called Fallmerayer. Who theorised that Greeks have become slavicised. This theory is of course torn to shreds today by anthropology, autosomal DNA and Y-DNA. This proves that the Greeks are highly differentiated genetically from SLavs and Albanians, and that Greek DNA is the most similar to that of Southern ITalians and Tuscans. Indeed the latest DNA studies confirm that modern Greeks are not only descendants of the classical Greeks but also of the Bronze age Mycenaeans of Homer's Trojan war.

As far as civilization is concerned, it never collapsed, since all barbarians speak the Greek language, unknowingly paraphrased, because these were the brain abilities of their ancestors. Even their way of life is a paraphrased Greek way of life, which they inherited from the barbarian Romans. Greece was a global cultural power which, by shrinking its global diaspora, brought about what the various uneducated cultures now call. The timeless effort of the leaders of the Anglo-Saxons, the Celts and the other euro barbarians, as evidenced in the present era, with the help of backward religious leaders, through assassinations, disasters and betrayals, have managed to lead Greece, but this will soon end. We have over 100,000 years of history that the power in Greece conceals but the blood is not water.

On macedonian language it is not "Greek" but Grk or Grci ( plural ) which means tart people ! Mayority of today's Greeks are Mavro Grekos ( Guptian new comers ) !

This video is a mess. It is like you took a bunch of facts about Greece, mixed them up in a hat, and then read them out one after one.

I wish the video had not showed the giant words DARK AGES next to a depiction of Greek society. It should have been obvuious this will lead to mass confusion by young historians. If this period was indeed called "Greece's Dark Ages", maybe the words should have read GREECE'S DARK AGES, in order to differentiate it from the ACTUAL Dark Ages, when the Catholic Church ruled Europe 500CE-1000 CE.
