Uncovering THE TRUTH About Sophocles, The Ancient Greek Tragedian
Only discovered your channel recently and I have to say the energy and expressiveness you bring to the topics you cover (and to history + historiography in general!) is fantastic ✨ Thanks to your videos I'm learning a good deal more about myths, legends, civilizations, historical figures, etc. than I thought I'd ever have interest in. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Erica. Understanding History is 99% context, that's why so many people today, in Movies, on YT, only get right 1% of the time
I just found this channel and it took me a second but now that I see that it's called "moan" I can't imagine that it wasn't on purpose. I suppose good scholarship is indeed very pleasing. Not gonna object to that.
love your channel. it' is so joyful :)
Medea is my favorite character in Greek literature. She's so unhinged and heartbreaking at the same time.
I actually like the Aeneid over The Odyssey :ducks:
Oh boy, Suetonius, what a piece of work!
The Lord works in mysterious way's, we've all heard that, but what that often means we learn with hindsight of history is that God had to act for the betterment of mankind in indirect and even hidden ways. Example # 1, imagine you identify yourself as just a faithful scribe of the Old Testament, and somehow your indirectly told, that your part of a process that is part of God's official word for all of mankind spanning millions to billions of people over hundreds of tongues. Imagine the problems that would come with such knowledge, so God in his wisdom kept that future fact hidden for the most part and for good reason.
nice!
Two lovely scholars discussing ancient history, what's not to like?
Love the show but not the pretentious British accents.
I have no idea what response you were hoping to get for this comment
Absolutely nothing...I dig Fry, and your show is riveting. But you two sound like two upper class Cambridge snobs. Don't be offended, its just very English.🐩🎸🎸🎸
The Greeks are wrong, but the expert is right hahaha
Thank you for this series. Reading the books, then listening to your recap has been very rewarding. Thank you and I look forward to your series for the Odyssey.
Your shirt is amazing.
Thanks!
Moan ink 🥵
How amazing I get up this morning and there you are talking about Suetonius and guess what is on my bedside stand that I read just last night !! Suetonius !!! I was so surprised how much I genuinely liked Augustus. I was wondering if these are presented in order ? I tried hard to start Adrian's book on Antony and Cleopatra and am having a hard time. I may have to switch to something less 'collegiate' and work my way up, seems I do not know enough of the history !
Not a newby, tuned in just because I love Dr. Finkel's work. And I LOVE the idea of life force (?) being released when needed. I'll also watch Soul and Mr. Rippley. Great interview.
Read 12 Caesar’s several times over the years. Had heard that he was Hadrian’s secretary. Had always been amazed that he had access to Augustus’ private letters to his wife, etc. and figured it was due to his connections with Hadrian. I never was aware, however, that he was the state Archivist. No wonder. What an incredible position for an historian to have held!
Fox is a good intro to the Homeric Epos, lots of good facts spread about there (Trojan Wars chapter was a great rabbit hole), and a Unitarian to heart.

Can’t wait to hear the stories!
:)))))
Invite them all Erica, we want the summary and the analysis later! Also, with the new Gladiator movie coming out do you think you could review 'Those who are about to die' by Daniel P. Mannix? Pretty please?
Thank you, algorithm, for suggesting this channel for me. Instantly hooked and subscribed. Can't wait to dig in to your other videos!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for pointing out that Julius Caesar was a Caesar in name only and that the first Caesar (as in Emperor of Rome) was actually Augustus.
Of course he was the emperor. He did hold al the important positions and the other guys used his name to say that they were the emperor
βασιλεὐς
@@sjaakbral83 Rome was a republic under Julius Caesar, he titled himself Dictator. The republic ended when Octavian became Emperor around 27BCE

Thank you, Erica. 💙💙💙
Thanks for watching!
Great watching the enthusiastic way you tell us about all these historic figures and specifically Suetonious, who was one of the first of the Roman writers/historians that I read back when I was a teenager in the 1970s. On a pedantic side note; I always find it interesting how English speakers and other Germanic language speakers always insist that in Latin the U, which the Romans chiseled as a V, was pronounced as "wuh" thus you get "wine or wein" from "vinum". So that means that all romance language speakers have it wrong when they say "vino, vin, or vinho". I'm not a linguist but I am fortunate enough to speak a few languades fluently and I'm not too bad at a few others. Also I can confirm that in modern Italian "Suetonius" is refered to as "Svetonio". I have no idea who's correct but always found it pretentious, to say the least, that people who dont speak a Latin language know better than people who do. We wont even get into Winny, Widdy, Wichee. Thanks for the Wideo, its was fun to watch.
Just went through the dating thing a few hours ago. It was my sister's birthday so my niece was reading famous names that share each of our birthdays. Mine is August 1, and she read "Katherine Parr". I have a medieval history degree that was 50% focused on the Tudors (50% the occult & folklore of western Europe). There's just no way I share a birthday with one of the major figures in the Tudor court and don't know it. My niece mocked me for being able to give an outline of Parr's life, marriages and death but i don't know she has my birthday. So I looked it up & it's a very loose "believed to have been born in August", and that confused everyone but me. You get used to it. Certainly there is more extant information on Parr than Suetonius, but in early 16th century records were kept depending on socioeconomic status & family names so there's no guarantee. Even Henry viii's birthday is recorded incorrectly in his grandmother's Bible (it was corrected at some point). While Arthur was alive, Henry just wasn't that important. If a prince in a new dynasty trying to to establish itself can be recorded incorrectly, imagine what's the lacking of the "peasant" class. Dates are recorded only when someone literate feels the birth is important enough to record.
Seutonis..the Gossip Girl of the Romans.
For real
Great vid to start my day.
🤓😊
You do such a wonderful job sharing your knowledge. Thank you for everything.
Yes, I would love to hear more about the analysis of Suetonius! Another book to order from Amazon! YEAH!!!!!!
Me too !!
Polybius > Suetonius
Keep up the exceptional job, Erica 👏
:)))
Nice intro to the series👍🏻... and I love the blouse 😍
Thank you!!
Looking lovely, as always. If one reads between the lines--yes, this is about the text--Hadrian was definitely the object of his disgust; Hadrian is strewn throughout the "Lives", just under the surface. A disgust I must share due to Hadrian's (not so) small part in the endemic conflict in the Holy Land spanning back to his reign. As if the Antinoös affair wasn't bad enough. You missed Titus in the listing of the Princeps...it appears (as I was so taught) that Suetonius thought Titus ideal in that "he did no bad" (in reigning so briefly). Now go read the SHA, and compare the two.
Thanks Erica, your enthusiasm really shines through in every video you do. You are brilliant. It would be really interesting to get a full analysis of Suetonius' work as some of the stories are so embedded within our culture (particularly the incredible stories regarding Gaius (Caligula)) that it would be good to understand which of them are backed up by other sources.
I am remember studying the man- he always got me gasping with the stuff he’d say!
Great take on one of antiquity's greatest historians. He was gossipy, but i think he got a lot of things right about Rome.
Erica is always very enthusiastic! 👌
Agreed! One of the best presenters of knowledge on YT, hands down
Here in California it's 130am and I'm watching this I'm glad I haven't gone to bed yet 😂❤

I LOVE this series!
Really liked The Secret History, but it may be a one-off achievement that the authoress Donna Tartt will not be able to repeat. Tried to read a couple of her later novels but did not finish them.
Why is the Roman version Hercules and not Junocles??? Pesky ancients!

He is - gods have multiple names in Greek myth depending on the meter of the poetry and what fits with the storyline at that given moment :)
