Greek 2: Nope, its sounds like they are saying "Bar bar bar" all the time
Greek 1: We shall call them "Barbarians"

During his campaigns in Thrace, Lysimachus became a captive of Dromichaetes, the king of the Thracians. In spite of the fact that Lysimachus was his grave enemy, Dromichaetes treated him hospitably and invited him to the banquet (while Lysimachus was still his prisoner). And on this banquet Dromichaetes asked Lysimachus whether he prefers the company of Macedonians or Thracians, on which Lysimachus replied "Macedonians".
Dromichaetes then asked: "Why then, have you desired to abandon the splendid company of Macedonians and wander so far into the lands of the men whose company you do not enjoy".
The story is told by Diodorus Siculus [21.12]

Thrax, if we take into consideration spoken languages close by Thracia would be related to Ancient Greek θώραξ (thṓrax, “a breastplate”). Thracians were a martial people and seems plausible to consider their name had to do with body-armor wore in battle. The linothorax (Ancient Greek: λινοθώραξ) is a type of upper body armor used throughout the ancient Mediterranean world. The linothorax appears to have been used in place of the bronze cuirass as the popular choice of armor for Greek hoplites, starting perhaps around the late 7th century and early 6th century B.C. The earliest attested account of a linothorax used for battle is recorded in Book 2 of Homer's Iliad (2.529 and 2.830). It is worn by Ajax the Lesser and is described in brief. It was used by armies of Alexander the Great, and its mentioned by other sources such as Herodotus (2.182, 3.47, 7.63), Livy (4.19.2-20.7), Strabo (Geography, 3.3.6, 13.1.10), and many other minor sources.
The armor got its name from Illyrian (Alb.) “thurje” which means knitting or weaving (or texture).

Yes!

Thracian were barbarians? Hellenic people arrived 1200 BC in South Balkans and
stole Thracian culture and Mythology!
All I hear is “bar bar bar bar bar bar”
The word "barbarian" came to be, because of the way Greeks thought the non-greeks sounded like *bar bar*. Generally speaking they were just making fun of their language and their accent.
And English blah blah

Barbara is also a Sanskrit word meaning Hostile forigner.
@@jestfuldemigod so english, greek, sanskrit do have some related
What most people don't know is that the word barbarians was not used as we use it now. It was practically a way to call someone who spoke different language than Greek. It was making fun of the noise the Greeks couldn't understand. Bar bar... Not joking. The word was made for the lack of knowledge of the language. With time this word became the word we know now, but it wasn't used like that in ancient Greece. Just a note from a Greek.
''Not joking'', my innocuous reply to you was deleted. ''Just a note from'' ... am amused YT user. :)

@@gmeachim3270 and where are you from your culture probably hasn't done a fraction off what the greeks have for civilization, there are very few people who can claim to have been as impactful to history as the greeks the rest off the world should thank them for all they have contributed regardless of the state off greece today , these people managed to keep there culture alive and well for hundreds off years all the while living under ottoman rule to eventually rise again as a small but still important nation , the same people who fought off the Persians and kept the roman empire alive for a extra thousand years are the same people who inhabit modern day greece
@@jamesmoran7391 well said
@@jamesmoran7391
Yep. The Greek Culture really has endured a lot to the present day
Actually the ancient Greeks when named someone" barbarian" they meant someone who is no Greek and perhaps don't speak Greek language no them without civilization!
Very true
Yes, the name barbarian came from the different languages surrounding Hellenic territories, and to the Greeks, these languages seems to sound like "Var var var" so they named them "Várvari' or Barbarians.
Uhm, to the Ancient Greeks, to not speak Greek, was to not have civilization. It’s one and the same for them.
@@shaunharvey2417 so according to greeks babylonians, assyrians, persians, egyptians phoenicians had no civilization? Yeah i think its time to take those greeks of the pedestals.
@@jasonmuniz-contreras6630 Its very broad, alot of greeks did respect other cultures. Upper class greeks adopted achemaneid dress and style, and some famous greeks, most notably Alexander, held the Persians in extremely high esteem.
That's a very common mistake but absolutely NONE of the classical greeks actually believed that the amazons removed one breast. It is not once mentioned in Herodotus and there is absolutely no representation in art of classical greece or before that represent amazons warriors with only one breast. It's a very tardive tradition and a lot of historians in antiquity already knew that it was only an error of traduction.

Just curious how is Thessaly and Epirus non existent here? Thessaly is one of if not the oldest Greek province. It's history is well documented and is where the hero Achilles was supposed to be from.
Cause this channel is trying in the most subtle way to separate Thrace,Macedon,Epirus,Thessaly from Greek history.
They cant do it openly since their majority of audience is historically informed and educated but every now and then they seize the opportunity to depict their new world order directive to de-hellenize anything!!!
Yeah I was going to say lol
@@champosvezast.v.4355 they separate them because they weren't city states but they were kingdoms
Epirus was always greek. Albanians appeared recently, that doesn't make it albanian
@Panos Panos Small people creating big stories so they can have a big history and identity which they don't have.
Good video. Miltiades, the hero of Marathon married a Thracian princess, and Themistocles, the victor of Salamis probably had a Thracian mother. Many prominent Athenians, in addition to Thucydides, had links to Thrace.
Iphicrates, one of the most famous Athenian generals, also married a Thracian princess and had two sons with her.
Sometimes men just want something wild. I am of Chinese descent and chinese women can't turn me on in bed. While latinas make me feel as if it's my last night on earth.

Concerning the impact of “peltastai” in Greek warfare, check the battle of Lechaio and the General Ifikratis. As far as I know, this is the first defeat of the Spartan phalanx from the peltastai. In Spactiria it was mostly, a siege.
Spartacus?
Love these videos btw!! Great work. The location of Argilos is just on the south bank of the struma river, a little north of Stagira. You can see the archaeological site from the road, which is neat.
Hi, i love your videos. You've helped me learn a lot about history in the past few years
Good stuff guys , very interesting. Thank you and Happy New Year
I think a video or series of videos on the Greco-Punic wars (other than the battle of Himera and the brief campaign of Pyrrhus, which you have already covered) would be very exciting.
My relatives visited south Albania. Its full of Greek people, Greek stores, Greek hotels, Greek business, Greek flags and Greek language.
I agree as someone who likes both the carthaginians & ancient greeks regarding style of architecture, seafaring & warfare The public interest on the greek-punic wars is pretty high and defo needs to be covered since these conflicts are so unique & exciting in its own way which led to both civilizations making technological advancements & maintaining a beneficial rivalry.
Don’t forget to talk about the Greek relations with the Illyrians!
One of your best videos so far, in my humble opinion.
Very interesting. Good angle explaining perspectives and interactions. And good plug.
Would have liked to hear about the relations between Illyria and Greece but good video nonetheless
@David Marku Did you forget to take your medication again?
@@shadearca Albanian pseudo history on internet comments never fails to make me laugh.
I am curious too but I don't think this would make a large video. We don't know much about Illyrians as their language had no writing. The relation was bad though, Illyrians had several fights against Greek Kingdoms until Alexander the Great sieged their fortress and made a pact with them.
@@dimikats5135 They fought with and against Greek citystates and kingdoms.
@@szarekhthesilent2047 I only remember one case which they fought in a Greek city side. They were not considered Greeks in general. Every time Greeks united against a foreign threat Illyria was out of this. They were known pirates and their dream was to conquer Western Greece (Epirus etc). They almost did it once while the Greek cities were in decline and asked the Romans for help.

Alexander the Great spoke Greek and was a disciple of Aristotle.
Philip's father was taking part in an Olympic games which means he was Greek
The mother of Olympias was a priestess of the god Apollo from Epirus
The Greatest of the Greeks was not uneducated, nor a barbarian conqueror.
He transferred Greek culture everywhere to the known world, founding many Hellenistic cities by transferring
knowledge and arts and not violence and tyranny.
Keep crying greek, he says facts
One who spoke greek language was not necessary a Greek . If Alexander or his father were Greeks or only hellenised , the Macedonians for sure were not Greeks but rather Thracians . Here we speak of different people , although both indo-europeans .
@@seaman5705 The Macedonians were absolutely, definitely Greek. With the amount of evidence we have for this fact, it's silly to even state anything else. The Thracians had a vastly different language in an entirely different PIE tree, and they had vastly different customs and rites.
@@TzvetozarCherkezov "The origin and identity of this people are much debated and are at the centre of a heated modern dispute between those who argue that this people should be considered ethnically Greek and those who argue that they were not Greek or that their origin and identity cannot be determined (see Researcher’s Note: Macedonia: a contested name). This dispute hinges in part on the question of whether this people spoke a form of Greek before the 5th century BCE; it is known, however, that by the 5th century BCE the Macedonian elite had adopted a form of ancient Greek and had also forged a unified kingdom."
If you have any solid proof from before 5th century , I am ready to listen .
Alexander encouraged sacking the city of Persepolis, and did nothing to stop his soldiers from massacring and raping the civilians there. He then burnt the city to the ground destroying centuries worth of irreplaceable knowledge and culture from the Persian Achaemenid Empire, which is why we know so little of the empire that once held 44% of the world population.
He was a conqueror and a warlord who should not be romanticized. There is a reason he was long afterward known as Alexander the Accursed to the people of Persia.

The background tune that starts around 13:10 is the Song of Seikilos, the only musical composition we have from the Classical world (late 2nd C.). The sheet music was discovered on a marble grave marker near Ephesus.
Thank you for this contribution. The history of the Thracians is pretty much overlooked. Even being a Slavic speaking country, Bulgaria has a huge Thracian heritage, not only cultural but also genetical. Recent studies have shown that we have more Thracian than Slavic DNA which wouldn't surprise anyone who is familiar with the Bulgarian history... Have a Happy New Year!
Happy new year man. Can you provide the studies on how a mix of slavs and Bulgars (by Bulgars i mean the Volga Bulgars) have genetic similarity with the Thracians which they were already Hellenized by the time when they (Bulgarians) came centuries later in the region of Thrace?
Briefly, the Thracians were linguistically assimilated by the Slavs just as the old Romano-British population was linguistically assimilated by the Anglo-Saxons. They however left a significant genetical heritage - up to 40% of the genes of the modern Bulgarians.
@Ghost Ghost You talk about the Volga Bulgars which yes are of Turkic origin but they migrated in the lands where the slav are living and by assimilation the Bulgarians are born the slavs provided the language and the Bulgars the the state organisation (the slavs didn't have any state this time)
The Thracians were mostly hellenized during the hellenistic ages . Phillip and later Lysimachus founded many cities inside Thrace , which acted as beacons of hellenic culture . Modern day Bulgarians have no real correlation to the ancient thracians ; only way a cultural similarity could have been achieved is through intermixing with the Greek population they ruled over after settling in the lands south of the Danube .
This is the simplified Greek interpretation. Part of the Thracians were romanized, many others preserved their language and identity until the Slavic invasion. It seems that the Thracians and the Slavs intermingled quite well. At the end of the day the Bulgars arrived and the nation was forged. The process was completed more or less until the end of the 9th century...
Argyllos is actuall right next to where you put Stagira, on the eastern side. I actually live in the lower Strymon Valley. Argyllos is being slowly brought to surface. Visaltes, the hellenized tribe that used to live here were loyal tributaries to the throne of Macedon.
This is cool
@@gabrielebarone2809 thanks buddy. Unfortunately, there is not much information about them prior to hellenization (approximatelly early 5th cent. B.C.)
According to Herodotus' testimony , the Macedonians were a Dorian tribe that moved from Estiotida of Thessaly (near Trikala) towards Orestida , on the outskirts of Pindus , and Elimea , where they settled . Before they reached the area , it was inhabited probably by thracian and Phrygian tribes that migrated to Asia minor during the 2nd millenia BC , meaning that the area was almost deserted . Their first king was Perdikas I , the founder of the Argead dynasty , who originated ( as the name suggests ) from Argos . He expanded his kingdom first to Eordea , afterwards to Botie , Pieria and finally to Almopia .
@@christermi I don't know how this is relevant to my comment though. The areas you refferred to are all on the west of the Strymon Valley. The vassalation of Visalitia probably took place during the rain of Archelaus King of Macedon.

Do the Dacians next, please. They interacted with the Greeks and Romans as well.
4:06 (in background) oh Hi Xena, what brings you here for this cameo?
Along with ACO's Kassandra elsewhere.
you did a brilliant video again in a great story - fact telling manner.
13:09 LOVE that the Seikilos Epitaph is playing!!
I gotta say I really like the video, but I'm not really happy with a few artistic choices. One of them is how the greek companions of Heracles were depicted in the early part of the video; seeing how most greek legends take place in the bronze age, an attempt to draw them in actual mycenaean panoply would have been a very appreciated detail.
Another one is at 11:15 where both sides are just spartans with different designs, as in the spartans on the right are depicted with what they would have worn before the persian wars (full-face corinthian helmets, muscled breastplate, etc), while the athenians on the left are shown with what actual spartans during the Peloponnesian War would wear (crested pilos helmet and linothorax). Moreover, those "athenians" are a less popular google images result when you google "spartans".
Again, these are just details and the video itself is quite good, but these details make it look like the art direction simply slapped together a few stock images and deviantart drawings and then called it a day.
Hi kings and generals, what about georgian history? Early tribes and wars over 3000 years? I really want video about this country

Except in ancient Greece, women usually wore their hair short as well as men. Long hair was for barbarains and Spartans.
I believe the demos used to have their hair short while the pro spartans had it longer.
@@AJKecsk Women had short hair in ancient Greece? I'm not so sure about that... How short?
@@AJKecsk Not what I remember from the representations painted on potteries and frescos from ancient Greece...
@@AJKecsk Women back in Ancient Greece especially during the Archaic Period didnt have short hair(at least most of them). They just usually tied their hair which were very long actually in knots and different kinds of hairstyles that they considered as a form of norm or fashion back then. Of course this happened during all the historical periods of ancient Greece.
Great video💛 from an algerian berber🇩🇿 please do a video about Dihya the queen of berber♓

Happy new year 🙏
In my language barbarian mean grass-grass and I think that's because civilise people thought that barbarians(people that were not them) lived on grass.
Could you make a direct sequel to this one? We heard a lot about the Thracians in this video, with a teeny smattering of Scythians and even mythical Amazons. But what about the Illyrians bumping up against Greek colonies in Italy? What about the Libyans and Sabines and Phoenicians and Iberians and Celts and/or Gauls? And what were the civilizations that Greeks did NOT consider to be barbarians, if any?
Happy early New Years, K&G!

Last time I checked, the whole world has yet to appreciate the values earned from ancient Greek states and kingdoms, in practice.

@Black Patriot Macedonians are Greeks, like Athenians, Spartans, Arcadians and the rest of the Greek kingdom's and city-state's

@Black Patriot they were fully Greeks and they knew it, the reason they were called "barbarians" by Athens was that Macedonia unlike the other Greek City-state's was a kingdom with a king, that was thought as outdated and barbaric by Athens (Athens created democracy), another reason was the rising of the Macedonian kingdom that wanted to unite Greece, Athens being the then dominant city-state didn't like that at all and did many thing's angaist Macedonia, also Athens mocked and called "barbarians" the Spartans, but uneducated people like you are unaware of that or just ignore it because it isn't going well with their dream of unHellenized Macedonia. Have a nice night and open a book, maybe a proper site, but search about History before opening your mouth
Another great video
Happy new year everyone!
Never would I have dreamed of hearing the words "edgy hipster" on this channel
I think that the author is under the impression that Ancient Greece = Ancient Athens.
This isn't the case.
I have enjoyd every video that i have watched so far
Informative and interesting
