The ENTIRE Story of the Trojan War Explained | Best Iliad Documentary

Kudos to the creator of this video. The team behind it has done an exceptional job; it felt like I was watching a movie

Is Troy actually in Asa continent?

whos here because of school

Thanks

So i came to conclusion that -
1. It was all Aphrodite's fault. How an she used her magic on already a married woman (not surprised Olympian gods are shady but still)

2. It's also Paris fault. Had he not fallen in love with Helen and broken the oath by taking her away from Menelaus, the war wouldn't happen.

3. Zeus is for the street.

4. Odesseus is by far the most intelligent, clever and interesting character written by homer.

5. Patroclus is one of the most loyal and bravest soldier. Idc if you agree or not. In the illiad, he was just a mere/side character...but at the end, he's one of the reason why greeks get back on their feet.

6. Hate Apollo for meddling.

why are they all naked?

Wait what about the Amazons vs Achilles? Memnon?

You can pretty much summarize The Iliad as Hector fucking around and finding out real quick that killing the man Achilles loved would invoke his wrath.

Okay.

Can anyone tell me where is the intro song from?

Noooo....Patriculous is not just a best friend!!!!!!!!!

i just realized i can change the language of your voices wtf? are you using ai? the voices are so similar to the originals in every language is eerie but like the entonation sounds like bored peopple talking all the time just reading of a script HWAT?!

Your smart.
Figure it out music boy.

amazing video. thank you for laying it all out in an easy way to understand!!

My mom : “Who’s your favorite author ?”
Me : “Homer.”
My mom : “Homer from the show?”
💀🙏🏻

I was really worried that a 35 minute long video about the Iliad was going to have to gloss over a LOT of lore.

And unfortunately I was right.

Can’t really call it the “entire” story with so much left out or needlessly simplified.

🌳

Nice fairytale 10/10

That's too many fucking kids!

Why when u go to to into euro history it start myth

If you dig aut the sity is in lezhe albania

I heard from a friend whos mum knew a guy who's aunt was an ancestor of Helen. Apparently she was pretty ugly.

What a great video. I Appreciate the time and effort you put in. I especially like the music choices.

First reading
44 years ago that was my feeling too
Hector was the man. Not just a beast
Or a killer

A man


Paris. Hard to like him

Oh my goodness! 🥵
HOW much of this depicted drama is real history -
and
how much is a culturally "reel" morality show?🤔

As soon Anybody Says. Zeus.I Already Know this is A Fable!

Oh my god i never realized how stupid this story really is. Thank you for putting this together. Gave me a lot of laughs.

Paris was called Alexander more than 60 times in iliad.

Dude shut up with all the Greek God shit just tell the real damn story

An interesting fact regarding the significance of Troy for ancient Greeks is the folowing:

When Alexander the Great united all Greeks to avenge for the Persians invasions some 150 years before, he left Antipater in Greece as deputy Hegemon of the Corinthian League, as a reward for loyalty in Alexander's claim to the throne, with 12,000 troops to deal with any rebellions.

Alexander set-off on his legendary campaign in 334 BC and his route was the same that Xerxes had taken when invading Greece.

He sacrificed at the grave of Protesilaus, the first man of Agamemnon's army to set-foot on Asian soil. He made a formal sacrifice to Poseidon and Nereides in mid-crossing. He also poured libation into the Hellespont. The royal squadron of "Hetairoi" landed at Achaen's Harbour and Alexander leapt ashore in full armour, launching a spear onto the opposite bank.

Alexander visited Troy so that he could sacrifice to Athena and pour libation to the heroes of the Greek army and celebrated Achilles' grave, according to Plutarch. He gained blessing for war and exchanged his own ceremonial armour for relics from the Trojan War and had these carried out to battle before him. He laid a wreath at Achilles grave and Hephaestion laid one on the grave of Patroclus. He then returned to the army and marched to meet the Persians...

That's how it all began... Eternal glory to all of our formidable ancestors 🔥🏛️🇬🇷

IF IT'S TROY....
WHY is it TroJan?
Troyan war, horse etc....

Fun fact, The god of the forge, and Zeus were both part of the war. With Zeus being on troys side, and god of the forge making Achilles armor after hector stole his armor. Also isn’t it insane that diomedes was able to defeat ares, and throw a spear threw athrodides hand. Other fun fact did you know the the arrows that shot Paris were the exact arrows that Heracles had dipped in hydra blood making them poison.

And now modern Greeks are telling the world azia minor wher was troy was greece land 😂😂😂

SO WITH SO MANY CHARACTERS AND FACTIONS THIS WAS LIKE THE INFINTY WAR FOR THOSE NIGGAS 😅😆

“50 sons and 50 daughters”. What a wasted life I have lived! All that child creation, with so many, many, many (STOP!) young women… Next life, I must get the balance right and have a lot more fun!

Were trojans greeks?

So basically all delusions 😂😂

Was this true? Hector afraid of achilles that hed run?

Great Video
What is the Name of the First Track in the Beginning of the Video ?

hi

ı just wanted to comment because this video helped me so much with my hystory project i can't thank you enough

I feel like the point of the story is that war really has no victors.

Maurico Druon, secretary of the French Academy: "Albanians belonging to those people older than History itself. Albanian grandparents participated in the war of Troy, led by Achilles (on one side) and Hector (the other side). "

Troy was a battle between North Albanians/ Illyrians Gheg und South Albanians/Pelasgians Tosk. Helen was never the reason! There were some religious conflicts between Illyrians and Pelasgians.

Troy was not a city but a region with 12 communities in North Albania. You find all the myths of that time stamped on the North Albanian folkloric costumes.

ngl the ending felt bad i hope none of you think the greeks as the 'good' guy in the story i am quite sad for hector and priam they just wanted peace i was kinda rooting for troy to win (i did not know the full story) and if you were rooting for greeks and did not change your mind after the pillaging you better do a mental health checkup

D

greeks always amazed me with their stories and their wars,dramas,art etc.
without dubt the most interesting civilization and the most influences of the modern art and history.
the most interesting thing tho is the alphabet who that piece of art was written is still using by modern greeks.its outstanding even if you think about it.

50 SONS AND 50 DAUGHTERS ???? GOOD LORD TAKE A BREAK
