@Zefanya Vera oooh that's a good one. I'll add it to the list

[@christosvoskresye]

Not to be confused with the Egyptian Thebes -- which also might merit its own video.

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Haha indeed!

[@TheCrazierz]

Too late, I confused them

[@wankawanka3053]

Sussy thebes

[@pepela8214]

YES! MY FAVOURITE CITY STATE JUST GOT A DEDICATED VIDEO FROM MY FAVOURITE HISTORY CHANNEL!

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Haha thanks! Any other topic you would like to see featured on Ancient History Guy?

[@pepela8214]

@@AncientHistoryGuy we could maybe get some content on Greek colonies (the ones in the black sea and the ones in the Western Mediterranean) I'm not sure how well these are actually documented but it's an interesting topic Your Syracuse videos were really well made 😄 In any case, thanks for making the videos they're very informative and entertaining!

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

@@pepela8214 Definitely! And thank you, I was planning on visiting Syracuse this year, but that went a bit up in smoke. And no problem, thanks for watching!

[@pepela8214]

@The Hoplite lol what do you mean

[@pepela8214]

@The Hoplite I didn't mention any specific states except Syracuse :-/ so I'm not sure what you mean lol

[@tassosaivazis6880]

Bro, you missed the time of Epaminonda & Pellopida.

[@thucydides7849]

Yeah kinda weird to talk about Theban hegemony without mentioning them

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

Exactly, and their victories against the mighty Spartans

[@philRminiatures]

Informatve and very pleasant to follow...Great work on the fascinating history of Thebes, love the animations! Congrats from Philippe... de France!😊😊

This is lightweight 🔥 subbed and liked!

[@eddienom]

Awesome Video!

[@PomaiKajiyama]

So...Greece was ruled by half gay super soldiers until replaced by all gay super soldiers until the super soldiers loose to peasants with long sticks.

[@nicholasthurmond4006]

The Thebans weren't ALL gay, were they?

[@PomaiKajiyama]

@@nicholasthurmond4006 Just their super soldiers (Sacred Band of Thebes)

[@angelorap1974]

Thats fake news we were never gay we were the most straight people

[@jimtroy4380]

@@angelorap1974 Sounds like angry historic revisionism. And some delusion. "We" are not the same as the Ancient Greeks. We are modern Greeks and we must not revise history because ancient gender roles were different than today's. Ancient Greek society had.accepted homosexuality greatly which is something we modern Greeks can learn from. No one is asking to glorify any kind of sexuality, but not demonise one either. Comming from a.fellow.Greek. We are not the "straightest" and neither do i care.

[@kabamaru_Iga_No]

Nah, probably it’s all gay to you for some reason. And to the Ancient History Gay too.

Thanks for the video glad the quarantine has some bright sides

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

No joking I just and just said that haha! Thanks for watching any topic you would like see featured on Ancient History Guy?

[@Byzantine-Revolt]

@@AncientHistoryGuy Maybe the Greek colonies because they don't get talk about as much yet are very important to Greco-Roman relations and to the Greek world in general.

[@neiloconnor7776]

So they basically sat on the fence until sparta and Athens was to weak to maintain control over greece

[@gillyvelazquez7755]

You deserve more subs

[@xtratex1019]

Not quite sure if it's just me, but all the links in the description (except the first 2) seem not to be working. They weren't working for me in your privious videos too, so I thought I'd let you know! :)

Misread it as"THE BANS."

So did I ;)

[@JoseHernandez-xf9oh]

Will you do a video about the achaean league?

[@micahistory]

great video about an underrated city

[@kiirolozanogarcia3003]

It always comes back to Philip and alexander, doesn’t it?!

[@PindusWrath]

4:32 you misspelled Greece with Peloponnesus :)

[@TheCrazierz]

Damn, expected the Egyptian thebes

[@micahistory]

Now do the animated history of thebes (in egypt)

[@shqiptarian]

History of Illyria [Ardiaei] Please, And King •Illyrius"I"• of Illyria.

[@shqiptarian]

The Serbians have Pannonian Origin, but the pannonians were defeated by the Slavic Tribes in the Late 4th Century BC, Greetings From Albania.

[@shqiptarian]

Croatians are Dalmatian. And Bosnians&Monengrians are Daorsian. If you compare illyrian language to the albanian one you can see that there's not Too much difference between These 2. But if you compare Slavic to Illyrian Language it's just a total disgrace.

[@shqiptarian]

Plus Albanian Origin Cames from the Taulantian, Bylian, Parthini, and mostly Ardian Origins.

[@shqiptarian]

Yea and i do have my Slavic Neighbours, because of Kosovo, out sovietic communism and the fact of Slavic migration in illyria.

[@shqiptarian]

"the South Slavic invasion into the Balkans" 6-7th century

[@rmk3155]

The 0 dislike is from Thebes.

[@glennewell2436]

I know this remains a contested topic but I think the tide has finally moved in favour of 'BEE-OCEAN' as the pref. pronunciation.

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

You missed the part that the Thebans marched on the Peloponesus and defeated Greek coalitions

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

@johnchapman-oo1el why tf you put arabic language in an Ancient Greek topic? This is Greece, not arabia

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

@johnchapman-oo1el The Thebans I am talking about is the one in Greece, not in Thebes like it is common in the Papyrus the fisherman cartoon

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

@johnchapman-oo1el Greek Thebans and Egyptian Theban?

[@sparkz5875]

What are the resources of Thebes

[@BEACH.LUVER101]

people ..the entire city's population was enslaved.

[@DrillEntertainmentNetwork]

i like Egyptian thebes and Greek thebes equally

[@TheatreCritic]

What about Cadmus? dragons' teeth?

[@TheDrumstickEmpire]

OI! THIS IS A VIDEO!!

ΘΗΒΑ

[@TheSuperhoden]

Oof ancien greece, I like you already. They and the Romans are my ying and yang

[@Tubejczyk]

Are you sure that macedonia conquered sparta too?

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Yes sparta were useless by the time of Macedonias rise, having already been battered by the Thebans.

[@Tubejczyk]

I know that but Sparta maybe weak and insignificant formally remained independent as a exception in Greece for unknown reasons and didn't join league of corinth at time of Macedonia rise

[@Arborist5851]

Every one ignore the very very gay part about the Greeks

[@wankawanka3053]

Ok and ?what does this change exactly?

[@Arborist5851]

@Wanka Wanka because they had a gay culture and it was totally normal, before Christianity. it’s hard to imagine that today. the Spartans were forced to have gay relationships with older men, in childhood like a mentor you can argue there where all molested my older men. on the marriage day spartan women where shaved bald and sent in to the marriage bed dressed like men…. They don’t show that in 300 i find it funny

[@Scriptorable]

Love the dissemination. Hate the graphics.

[@orgint2997]

However

[@Alsayid]

Anyone else find the pronunciation of "th" like an "f" distracting? "Around free fousand B.C. Febes was founded..."

[@DivergencesofHistory]

I dont hear it man

[@T2daBikeGuy]

This not it

[@ChapterMasterADO]

The art style reminds me of rimworld. I know you stole the idea lol. Art style is poorly executed. Just fyi
