The fall of Macedon and the Roman conquest of Greece (illustrated Summary)

[@Yuric_INC.]

Rome: (“Poor predictable Greeks, always fighting in a Phalanx.”) Greeks: (“Good old Phalanx! Nothing beats that!”)

why do Athens and Sparta both wear Corinthian helmets? well 1. For Athens, it's a reference to Pericles. 2. It looks cool

For another point about the impact of Hellenic culture on the Romans, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations is written in Greek. Any man of high standing was to be fluent & literate in the language. It probably helped that the Hellenic areas the Romans conquered ended up being some of the wealthiest in the entire Republic/Empire.

[@mr.archivity]

Consider that numerous part of south Italy speak Greek as a second language even now. Not only that, but if you choose a “literature” major in Italy you have to study Italian, romance Italian, Latin and Greek. They are compulsory

[@Aimos-apo-tin-Tauris]

1:31 An important reminder: the term barbarian is meant not only for foreigners, but also to describe an uncivilized or uneducated person (Greek or foreign) - by urban Greek standards and someone difficult/hard/impossible to understand when speaking (a Greek dialect or a foreign language). Ancient Greeks - particularly the Athenians - often used the word “barbarian” to insult and/or mock other Greeks who were less ‘civilized’. 1)Atheneaus: “And when he was asked again, according to the account given by Hegesander, which were the greatest barbarians, the Boeotians [i.e: Greeks] or the Thessalians [Greeks], he said: ‘The Eleans’ [Greeks].” (Athenaeus, “The Deipnosophists”, 8.42) 2)Plato: “Was he not reproaching Pittacus for not knowing how to distinguish words correctly, Lesbian as he was, and nurtured in a barbaric tongue?” [i.e: referring to the Aeolic dialect, one of the major Greek dialects] (Plato, “Protagoras”, 341c)

Same with romans, who defined “barbarians” whoever couldn’t even speak Latin or greek

[@christoskarakostas2656]

Pretty much yea athens still ''steals'' (uses uproportionally) the tax money,still they think that Athens is the center of Greece and so the other areas (Aegean,peloponese,thessaly,Macedonia,Thrace) are left to rot by little to none public works and investments.And we still dont like each other we are separated to South greece areas not liking the north and north greece not liking the south (and dont like is an understatement) the islands dont like the rest of greece equally (with only exception of cyclades that they dont care they just spend their tourism money).The only time we ally is when we must dislike someone else together

[@AK-forty-seven]

Wonderful video. Glad that you pointed out that Greek culture influenced Rome highly and was the second most prominent language of the empire. The roman empire and Europe as a whole today would be a lot different if it weren't for Greek influence. Good or bad.

[@andrewward5891]

So basically the Romans took advantage of the Greeks disunity and played them off against each other until the remaining Greek states were to weak to resist the Roman legions. And they turned formerly mighty Sparta into a tourist trap.

[@mr.archivity]

Well, in reality they didn’t even care that much as they were preoccupied with Carthage. It is more that the Greeks forced the Romans to

@@erlk2210 they fought Typhon, a Titan. Titans were sons of Gaia with other deities. Be it Uranus, Chronos or Tartarus. Titans can be said to be another type of Gods as even later sons of Gaia went to form the Greek pantheon.
