The Ancient History of the Acropolis

[@caseymiller7317]

As an avid lover of history, I've seen more and more history videos that are clearly AI generated or enhanced with poor writing and grammar or even incorrect facts. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air...Everything is well polished with proper introduction and writing and immersive to the viewer with Ancient Greek readings and great imagery. Please don't stop making content as they truly give the events of the past the demonstration they deserve.

Many images on this video are AI gen trash, so what are you talking about?

Sir,really enjoy your take on ancient history-especially since the Diadochi general,Antigonus. The greek language included is a huge bonus. Efharisto poli!

[@AntiquityforAll]

Parakalo! Very pleased to hear that.

It never ceases to amaze me how wrongly foreigners pronounce ancient Greek. However I enjoyed the video very much. Subbed. Greetings from sunny Greece.

[@AntiquityforAll]

A work in progress! Might I ask, if you were to refer to standard schools of pronunciation, which would you say is the correct for Ancient Greek? I’ve tried a few over the years and have always heard criticism. As a Brit I take absolutely responsibility for a bad accent but would love to know how the Greeks pronounce their ancient language. I’m fairly familiar with your modern language’s pronunciation (I think!)

There is an exact 1 to 1 replica of the Parthenon, including a gold statue of Athena holding Nike, in Nashville, Tennessee. She is 42 feet tall. It's amazing!

Acro-, acri-, or acra, all of them, in the beginning of the word mean: edge. The edge of the second part of the word. Acropolis = edge of the city, whether it is in the horizontal or vertical perspective. Acrokeramo= each one of the last line’s tiles of the roof, etc etc

[@ΓιώργοςΑ-ψ7ψ]

the acropolis was built long before Mycenae and initially it was built for the soldiers to live there and it had a much larger area but as the ancient sources mention after great floods and a devastating earthquake this small part of it remained that exists from the archaic era until and today.

I WILL FINISH IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION -Greek mythology.

[@issith7340]

Which acropolis? Every city had one.

Zeus was a Pelasgian (ancestors of Albanians), not a Helen. Iliad and Odyssey were oral poems of Pelasgians, which later were written in Illyric/ Albanian. The oracle of Zeus, Dodona of Epirus, was the Temple of Pelasgians. After Iliad the language of Gods was Gheg, North Albanian Dialect. (Herodotus) After Science Magazine 2023, the Albanian Language is older than 8000 years, much older than the Greek and Armenian languages. Zacharias Papantoniou (Greek: Ζαχαρίας Παπαντωνίου) was a Greek writer. He was born in Karpenissi of Evrytania in February 1877 and died in Athens in 1940. He spent the first years of his life in Granitsa, where his father was a teacher. Apart from a writer, he was also a journalist. Many of the works of Zacharias Papantoniou, unfortunately, are censored because they tell the truth on Greek history. In that censored group is also the book, ''The King Otto''. Below we state a fragment from this book: ''The young Prince for first time come in Athens on January 25, 1833, he hardly heard anyone speak in Greek and so he asked: "Where are the Greeks in Athens?" His court looked at each other and answered: "There are no Greeks, but do not be troubled because this Albanian population will always be faithful to your monarchy." Triantafyllidis later wrote, with some exaggeration, that the introduction of Demotic Greek into schools in 1917 was the first official recognition of the mother tongue ever made. Now that Greece had succeeded in winning Macedonia and other regions, disputed until that moment, Venizelos no longer considered it dangerous to introduce demotic Greek into the schools; indeed, one of the main reasons why the triumvirate [Triantafyllidis, Delmouzos, Glinos - the three leaders of the Educational Association] was appointed was the problem of integrating the non-Greek speaking populations of Greek Macedonia. Venizelos had already argued in Parliament, in 1914, that the populations of the New Lands (areas included within Greece as a result of the Balkan wars), only by being educated in the spoken language, could learn Greek. Triantafyllidis noticed that even the Albanian-speaking populations of Attica, at the gates of Athens, were not linguistically Hellenized.
