Odysseus: Hey kid, do you want to finish your father's work?
Pyrrhus: Ok.
Neoptolemus is one I was the most hyped for in the Troyjan war. He is almost always neglected and forgotten, but I hoped you would bring him up. And you never disappoint.
Although Neoptolemus is neglected and forgotten, it is said that Neoptolemus assassinated King Priam during the taking of the city after the strategy of the hollow Trojan horse, it is said that Priam tried to defend himself by wielding weapons but his wife Ecuba dissuaded him and took him to a altar of the palace to commend himself to the gods there Neoptolemus grabbed him by the hair and he cut his neck leaving his corpse unburied, an alternate version tells that Neoptolemus took Priam to the tomb of his father Achilles and there Neoptolemus killed him last Trojan king.
i felt bad for priam, his last son died and his favorite son's baby was murdered too then that baby was used as a instrument or weapon to club him to death in old age
That is what I call a grand entrance and I’m sure Achilles would be proud of his son Neoptolemus

Like father like son: A boy’s first hero is his dad.( Achilles and Pyrrhus ).😇❤

Neoptolemus in Greek means Νέος Π(τ)όλεμος i.e. the New Warrior. He was called also Pyrrhus from his auburn hair which resembled the fire (Πυρα=fire in Greek). Neoptolemus/Pyrrhus after the Trojan War, moved to Epirus, and founded the Molossian Kingdom, which took the name from Neoptolemus's son, Molossus, who became the founder of the Aeacidae Dynasty of Epirus (with both Pyrrhus and Alexander the Great, being descendents). Excellent video again! Can"t wait for the return of Philoctetes with the Bow of Heracles (a story in which Neoptolemus had a significant role),and the death of Paris.
amazing info here I had just seen the 1957 film of Alexander the Great 👍
If Odysseus found Achilles when he was 15 and war lasted 10 years. He died being 25/26 years old. If he had Neoptolemus at 16, when the failed expedition to Mysia happened, means that the boy was Just 9 and 13 at most if Achilles did the thing when he was really young. Any way, he looks way older on here.
That's what Im thinking. 😑
greek heroes always look older then they actually are
Achilles became a father when he was just aged 13.
@@willisfernandes2366 wait- what?!
@@WujuLickMe when he was 8 in some versions, but all of these numbers are gathered from calculations of different sources because no single source gives you a single timeline. Just ignore it.
The Trojan war is just getting better and better keep it coming you are doing great. 👍🏻
1:26 Wow, his skills are impressive combat moves. Pyrrhus was a great warrior like Achilles.
1:48 Deja Vu.
2:48 They think that Achilles is back from the dead and let out powerful battle cry.
3:40 👏 I can't believe it! Trojan forces are retreated and Greek warrior are cheering for him a new warrior.
This series has been absolutely FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Indeed
Based Metallica enjoyer
Achilles Son, this is so Awesome! Odysseus is my Favorite!
In the veins of Alexander The Great ran the blood of Heracles from the side of his father Philip the B'. But from his mothers side Olympiada ran the blood of Achilies.
Alexander The Great have the blood of two Legendary Heroes. Thus why he conquered the World.
Interesting the son of the great warrior Achilles this is gonna be fun
So spoke Odysseus to the ghost of Achilles in the Underworld: "Verily of noble Peleus have I heard naught, but as touching thy dear son, Neoptolemus, I will tell thee all the truth, as thou biddest me. [...] All of them I could not tell or name, all the host that he slew in defence of the Argives; but what a warrior was that son of Telephus whom he slew with the sword, the prince Eurypylus! Aye, and many of his comrades, the Ceteians, were slain about him, because of gifts a woman craved." (Homer, Odyssey)
Later authors said that Eurypylus led an army of Mysians, and not of Ceteians, likely because he was the son of the king of Mysia Telephus. I personally think that this was also because nobody in Greece had an idea about who the Ceteians (Keteioi) were. They were likely the same ones the Egyptians and the Assyrians named "Khatti" and we name Hittites, who were in charge of a powerful empire set in Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age. Notably, the Hittites themselves reported that they were once at war against the Great King of Ahhiyawa for Wilusha, likely meaning they made war against the Achaeans for Ilios/Troy.
That said, given the fact the sources are not clear what people was lead by Eurypylus at war against the Achaeans, I personally think it is quite understandable that the authors of this wonderful video decided to skip that detail.
gee getting close to end of Trojan War SAGA after watching it for year now we getting close to Homer's Iliad Odyssey I can't wait to see that Greek Mythology Comic next
For those who read the Song Of Achilles, Pyrrhus may have a little different impression 😅
Although Neoptolemus is neglected and forgotten, it is said that Neoptolemus assassinated King Priam during the taking of the city after the strategy of the hollow Trojan horse, it is said that Priam tried to defend himself by wielding weapons but his wife Ecuba dissuaded him and took him to a altar of the palace to commend himself to the gods there Neoptolemus grabbed him by the hair and he cut his neck leaving his corpse unburied, an alternate version tells that Neoptolemus took Priam to the tomb of his father Achilles and there Neoptolemus killed him last Trojan king.
Song of Achilles is non Greek fan-fiction made by a Garbo shipper
To me, Song of Achilles is one of the most bizarre books. Madeline Miller claimed she'd taken inspiration from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, yet I found it hard to relate it.
(also I couldn't relate it to Virgil's Aeneid either. It looked most likely to be written from an entire different perspective)
You guys never disappoint , great job 💯💯
Achilles would be so proud of Neoptolemus.
What about Idomeneus (King of Crete), Menestheus (King of Athens), Thoas (King of Aetolia) and Podarces (one of the Princes of Thessaly)? They were really prominent leaders and by some versions reinforced the Achaean Lines around this time along with Pyrrhus and Philoctetes instead of already being present. Please add them I beg you,
@See U in History / Mythology
This is great
Keep up the most amazing work. 👍
Odysseus keep recruiting from achilles family 😅
This third season must already reappear Philoctetes, since a prophecy said that Troy would not fall if the Greek side did not have in their weapons the bow and arrows of Hercules and let us remember that Hercules entrusted Philoctetes with his bow and his quiver of arrows of the blood of Idra of Lerna, and let us remember that in the first episode of the second season the Greeks under the orders of Odysseus abandoned him on the island of Lemnos, if it were not for the weapons of Hercules the wounded Philoctetes would not have been able to defend himself or hunt birds to feed, so in the next chapter Odysseus returned to Lemnos alone or accompanied by Neoptolemus or Diomedes to try to convince Philoctetes to accompany them to Troy.
Roughly how old was his son? He had to be a teenager at the most since Achilles was more than likely around 30 years old at the time of death.
He would’ve been 13 max
Odysseus doing side quest
Good video 👍🏻
Odysseus is carrying the whole war now XD
Nice
@0:42 At the very least call him Heracles
"Hercules" is Herakles in latin, everyone insist in call Aias by his latin name "Ajax" and i dont see complaints about it.
MY NAME IS JEFF
Good video!
So let me get this straight, Odysseus is the guy that does just about everything to win the Trojan War, yet Achilles is the ‘Greatest Greek Warrior” I’m not sure about that
It's just like real life. The brains gets ignored and derided while the jock gets all the credit.
@@noahbody9875 exactly
@@ecurewitz no the title is greatest greek warrior is Odysseus a greater warrior than achilles
@@durrangodsgrief6503 that was my point
Carry on the great animations and the wonderful re-telling of the myths. Do stick to the Greek names, though. All the other Achaean heroes are known by their Greek names, so lets have the same for Neoptolemus and Heracles. You've thankfully avoided calling Odysseus Ulysses.
Can you do a video about Pyrrhus after the war
If “the song of Achilles” gets a sort of second book, I hope they write about him. That would be an interesting story
Being greedy I wish these vids were longer 👍
Please man add these characters @See U in History / Mythology
Wonder what the background music is?
Olympia the mother of alexander came from this line
Achilles’s gay lover died fighting Hector and Achilles took revenge by killing Hector. Did not know Achilles had a wife and son. Misnamed Hector as Agamemnon in deleted post. These ancient names confuse me.
First 💫
Wasn’t Pyrrhus only 13 when Odysseus brought him to Troy
So that's where Pyrrha (from RWBY) got her name.
I've actually heard that in some versions of the myth Achilles uses the name Pyrrah when he's disguised as a girl on Skyros
If he was four years old when Achilles was recruted, that means... THIS MF WAS 14 WOW
Achilles don’t seem the type to get married and have a kid. He was more interested in fighting and war.
weird I read hector n them was swarty and achilles.... so this is kinda realistic the story anyway
Neoptolemus is hot af ngl 😋
How old was Achilles's son?
Don not search for any coherent timeline. No single source talks about everything so by scraping sources together you get that Achilles was 8 when he had his first child.
Great videos people, keep them going, just a idea, turn this into like a motion film, give all the characters voices too, be even more epic!!!!!! , I Watched this similar thing, called 'The blood of Zeus'. This would also be great if made like a film with these graphics !!!!!
heracles, not hercules
Son of Achilles slain the grqndson of Heracles
Hi ,someone using ur channel name in telegram ,they are scamming people with false giveaway prizes ,i don't know why they are doing,pls clarify it's doesn,t ur channel to others
I wonder if Achilles type runs in the family 🙄
Patrocylus *

Πύρρος ελληνικό όνομα 😉😘
I wish to help with the youtube channel as a voice actor if you guys are accepting people
Odysseus never wrote or spoke of a son 🤔
NEPTOLEMUS??? YOU MEAN GOHAN ??? HAHAHAH
Neoptolemus is one character i hate because of what he going to do to Hector's family...his wife and son.
same
Isn’t he like 12 when he goes to troy?
ΝΕΟΠΤΌΛΕΜΟΣ Η ΑΛΛΙΩΣ ΠΥΡΡΟΣ.
Does Hector not have a son? Cuz I really liked Hector it’s crazy how they don’t mention him much anymore
His son is a baby
Hector and Andromache had a son, Astyanax, but he is a little boy at this time.
Hectors son was murdered as an infant.
I wonder if Achilles son will take the woman that his father had as his wife.
I'm not Positive on this but I think he takes Hector's Wife.
@@michaeldepinto3562 as a concubine
Whoever said Achilles was gay watches to much gay 🌽
I see that they replaced this with patrocales in the Brad Pitt Troy movie
Didn't
The Trojans did bring the son of Hercules to their side as well. Both duel with Neopoletmus winning. Yeah Euryplaus was the son .
