Samnite Wars are a series of three conflicts between the Romans and the Samnites starting in 343 BCE and lasting until 290 BCE.

The Samnites were often joined by Etruscans and the Gauls, and Rome was on the brink of defeat several times. But Rome was nothi...

Thank you sooooooo much for making this video, i never really understood greek history that much and stuff like how Athens was the capital if Athens lost the Peloponisian wars, you really are a hero
You def deserve more subscribers bro. These are top notch
i can aprove! it was trully short :D
You should continue the story of Greeks with a short four hour long video describing Byzantium, Ottoman Era, Modern Greece, WWI, WWII, Junta period.
It's sad that, even today, one of the most beloved activities among Greeks seems to be fighting with each other.
Amazing job you did there. It was brief, but contained all the important details and events of ancient Greek history. Kudos, I’m impressed!! Keep it up brother!
Thank you very much!
here before all the bulgarians claiming alexander was from fyrom
I know that si-klo-pees is probably the correct, Greek, way of pronouncing cyclops, but it still catches me off guard every time you say it, lol.
Sy-kloh-peez (spelled Cyclopes) is the correct, English, way of pronouncing the plural of the singular cyclops (pronounced sy-klops). In Greek cyclops is pronounce as Kýklōps and cyclopes as Kýklōpes. Cyclopes sounds weird and foreign because it's a borrowing from French. Cyclopses version, which follows English plural convention, is much less used but would have sounded less weird.
Thank you for this video!!!!! I like Greek History and this is a great video for learning about it
0:29, all except Paris, he’s a cowardly little shit.
Great video!
At what point did the Greek colonies in Italy and Sicily get independence?
There are many renditions of these myths. Premethius had a brother Epimethius that both created man because Eros, Cupid, felt something was needed. It was not Zeus
The narration is an exact copy of Mike Duncan's "The History of Rome" - but I like the fact that it's paired with visuals
Amazing video, as a Greek Macedonian I really appreciated it! I even learned a few new interesting things. Congrats!👏🎉
7:30 Linear A was also a Greek language. By now, around 40-60% of the language has beem encripted and it all points to the fact that it was Greek
Isn’t Eros a child of Aphrodite
if you also told the details of my nation's history you would get more views and likes
Great video!
They all Illyrians same people. More lies in history to misguide people. Get the facts straight. Mount Tartarus is located in Albania still today. And the language was illyristi in greece macedonia romania bosnia croatia slovenia all the way to the gauls also anatolia all the way to iran. Let me tell you a fact about todays greek language, the greek language used to be the church language in medieval times. The tzar of russia Catherine the great had a major project in the 1770 for greece so that russia had a hand in the balkans. Her goal was to kick out all non orthodox people out of greece. And they achieved it.When greece won the independence in 1828 with the Albanians in the frontlines, all the people in the streets were speaking albanian. When the first president of greece came to power they put a vote in the parliament what language would they speak albanian or greek and they won by 1 vote by cheating like the greeks are known in the world for. It is mind boggling that illyrians are not even mentioned in these history videos, definitely there is a conspiracy for when the history starts according to these fake historians.
Homer?
How do you do your maps?
The fire sound effect around 10 minutes in reminds me of the fire sound effect from this old game on super Nintendo called Populous. Whenever your knight would win a fight in a building he would burn it down afterwards. God, i miss that game
Nice casual 4.5 thousand years of history in one hour
Awesome video bro. From what I understand they’re still trying to piece together exactly where the Dorians came from but like the other Mycenaean groups, they seem to be mostly of indo European stock compared to the Minoans who were mostly Neolithic Anatolian farmer like modern Sardinians. Although I like Roman history better (especially the late republic early imperial period), I’m definitely starting to appreciate the Greeks more.
Thank you! According to recent scientifiic research (Lazaridis, I., Mittnik, A., Patterson, N. et al. Genetic origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans. Nature 548, 214-218 (2017).), the ancient Mycenaeans and Minoans were most closely related to each other, and they both got aproximately three-quarters of their DNA from early farmers who lived in Greece and Anatolia. Both cultures additionally inherited genes from people from the eastern Caucasus. The Mycenaeans (as you correctly stated) did have an important difference: They had DNA from a second wave of people from the Eurasian steppe, who came to mainland Greece, but didn't reach Crete; these were the Indo-Europeans who brought the Greek language. About Rome and the Greeks I feel pretty much the same, however the Roman series is continuing full steam ahead.
@@MagistraVitae that makes sense. Thanks for explaining that! Looking forward to more videos. Your channel is awesome
Excellent presentation!
What were the censor boxes covering?
bro do you now the history alexander is from Macedonia not Greece
Your stuff is so good. I hope you're able to go into Alexander's conquests in more detail. His rivalry with Darius is very interesting.
Macedonia have nothing with Greece
little error at the 0.09 of the video. epeiros was not subdued by macedon, they were allied in a marriage.
Romans were not proud of their democracy because they didn't have one and didn't pretend to have one, did they?
I like how the Spartans choose to walk to Syracuse.
This was incredible. Fabtastic job. Top-notch!
let’s kiss (no homer)
Eros is a male god 😂 "Eros, the god of love who makes men's bodies go limp" Sparta: "The Theban Sacred Band and Athenians must be very fond of him." Lol
Volcanic Eruption at Thera (Santorini) as cause in part, to the "Bronze Age Collapse"?
Thera erupted around 1600 BCE, long before the collapse. The one we are reffering to is the Hekla 3 eruption on Iceland.
Mas afinal se você fala inglês quieta o vídeo não tem dublagem para português e outras línguas
9:32 Failed? Troy fell my boy. Come on you do silly mistakes now. You made an essay video and you do such mistakes? So in the Iliad the Hellenes did not razed Troy, atleast let us know if you are going into your own headcannon.
i remember lots of this from the books of Maccabees
MACEDONIA IS GREECE 🇬🇷
Macedonia is Greek
Does that mean the Macedonia language is a form of greek
Amazing job dude, you have to be one of if not the most underrated history or even mapping channel on yt at the moment. I got a feeling that you will become one of the biggest ones in the near future if you keep up with this type of content so good luck man, and thanks for theese epic videos!!
Thank you magistra vitae for giving me this full compiled history of greece. I always liked greek history as its history is repeating itself but on a very large scale. The war of ideologies and fame, honestly speaking I only knew about the bronze age collapse, alexander's conquest,ptolomic egypt's collapse under the romans and byzantines. Archaic history, peloponession wars,thermopylae were things I heard but never learnt about. I always stay obsessed with rome the greek power struggle is the peak of ideological warfare.
Never thought I would see two globes have sexy time
At 42:00 it’s cool you say Iranian not Persian.
It is strange that noone ever mentions that most cities of Greece are built on goundation of non indoeuropean people pelasgians.
Yes, the black African Pelasgians
@egyptwasblack2 if they were black, im chinese emperor then... If you have no real history stop stealing it.
@@David_is_devil Genetics has spoken. modern Greeks carry black African alleles and haplogroup EV13, cluster with blacks on HLA tests... The black Egyptian danaids understood the language of the Pelasgians... Scientist Antonio Arnaiz confirmed it. Stay mad
And entered into Turco-Greco-Roman era
I was missing magistra vitae the last couple weeks, but it was totally worth it!! Would you consider making a video about the bronze age collapse?👀
Maybe one day we'll get around to the Bronze Age, but we already have too much on our plate 🤣
@MagistraVitae 😅😅🤣🤣
Great video so far. Subbed :)
