I'm such an avid fan of Greek mythology that I read The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Eaniad & Robert Graves @ an early age. Now I'm in my 50's & still love Greek Mythology whole heartedly. My eyesight is not what it used to be so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating the videos you have for us horrid eyesight, Greek Mythology lovers out here!

[@sudhirmunasur5508]

Greek mythology extends to Iranian mythology as well, in fact that whole region. It's very deep and I'm only now being serious with Greek Mythology. It would be nice to form a study club for the illiad.

[@MarloMl]

I'm always confused, i read the german book/tale of the "Nibelungen". Equal to this story, you don't know what you reading, until you see some "one of a kind" trope, and it hits you. Trojan horse? Hagen? I know that, and then, you realize that in every fiber of our culture, there's some of the old. You can't erase the past to that degree.

No, had that god been able to take no for an answer, Cassandra wouldn't have been cursed and people would have listened to her about Paris and the doom he'd bring. Let's not blame Cassandra for rejecting Apollo but rather blame Apollo for not taking no as an answer in peace.

[@riptidexthp]

Book mark @1:16:00

[@scottnunnemaker5209]

I like to imagine this is just the story people made up to explain a time when all the warriors left for a couple decades. Like the whole sea peoples stuff, I could totally see there being a famine or something and a bunch of Greeks(along with a bunch of other island/seafaring people) went out to plunder their neighbors for all the riches they bragged about having. Taking over all islands, Ugarit, the Anatolia coast, before getting stopped at Egypt. What was left limped back home to find their kingdoms in ruin and possibly invaded by other groups from the north. Writing practically disappears for a while and when it comes back we get a story like the Illiad, totally fictional, but I like to think it was based on a survivor who made it back telling super embellished stories as to where he was and what had happened to him over the last couple decades away. Like if Bilbo left the shire for all that time with the dwarves and they didn’t actually experience any difficulty at all, but when Bilbo gets back in the shire he makes up this whole Lonely Mountain adventure story to tell to young Frodo.

[@psforos]

Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter for his own hubris must be one of the saddest and most heinous parts of the iliad.

[@ThePaganSun]

It wasn't IN the Iliad! It was part of a slightly later Epic Cycle and since in the earliest versions Iphigenia gets saved, it was no more heinous than Abraham almost sacrificing HIS son. And he did it not for hubris but because the goddess Artemis (or a prophet claiming Artemis) demanded it.

If I were him, I would've told the goddesses that because of their selfish and heartless nature, none of them are worthy of the apple. And instead, I'd declare Oenone the winner of the apple, as she'd have already given me the greatest gift I'd ever received: her love. Then I'd tell them that I don't care what kind of punishment they try to throw at me, because it'll only serve to prove my point.
