What do yall think that the city would have been named had they gone with Poseidon?
Question of the day!
Probably Poseidonia, since there is a smaller settlement in Attica called like that.
There was a nation in Greece called Olympia because it was by Olympus and zeus was its patron deity
@@georgios_5342 agree
@@georgios_5342 I agree

Wow! These Athenians really seem to know what they're doing. I wonder why I don't hear about them anymore? I hope their civilization doesn't collapse or something.
Yeah I heard that the city still exist in Greece but it is very small and unimportant

What do you think about the pelasgians? (Random question)
Not long after he lost He took revenge on Athena by violating her best priestess Medusa
What is that lake in Thebes?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Yliki
@@AncientHistoryGuy nice, thanks, I hadn't noticed it on a map before. Great video, and I can't wait to see the rest of the series!
No it's not Ylica, Ylica/Ylice is and was really small, the big lake there is the ancient lake Copaida/Copais that has dried up now.
@@manapo8205 oh ok, that makes sense. Afterall, the link you wrote provided no map, so it wasn't obvious. Thanks for the clarification though!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Copais
I just randomly found you while on r/greece
Pls do tibet?
Omega epic
The dorians were the Atlanteans looking for a new home.
👏🏻
Ok but what would the name be if they chosed Poseidon and not Athena? Posa,Posidion,Poseinon?
Speaking as a Greek, I would guess something similar to Poseidonéa
Who's here because they overslept their lectures and the slides have barely any info and they have an essay due 😋😋😋😋
why the change in style?
though it is nice anyway
Wouldn't ever call Sparta a city to be honest, it was a collection of village's
It was a city state
bruh as punishment my history teacher told me to watch this
I hope you also dwell in the history beyond the ancient times, for it often goes ignored and its a shame really
I was reading up on this prehistoric battle site in Germany a couple days ago, fascinating.
@@AncientHistoryGuy Oh im not talking about prehistory (though i know what you're talking about) i meant during the byzantine years and beyond
@@greekswaglord-dathistoryla201 Oh lol! I have a few vids on medieval Britain, and a few on the crusades I did with Flashpoint History. I have a few medieval videos in the work, im just focusing on getting back into the swing of things as i havent done a video in ageeeeesssss.
Finally!! Why did it take you so long???😂
A number of reasons, one I'm making Ancient History Guy a lot more like an actual business, so thats required a lot of work. And second I had a lot of projects on in the early part of the year that really threw me off balance with my uploads. Trying to get back into it now.
@@AncientHistoryGuy Good luck or as we say in albanian Të priftë e mbara
SENATOR
Athena is not the warrior goddess, she's the goddess of wisdom and practical intelligence, according to the myth.
goddess of wisdom, handcrafts and warfare, hence why she wears a Corinthian helmet. There's a famous myth where Athena and Ares had a duel and Athena thrashed him.
@@AncientHistoryGuy alright, but the myth was probably only a regional one, as Ares was vastly recognized as the God of war.
Athena had many forms, depending on them her characteristics changed
some of them are:
Parthenus : this is the most famous and it literally means virgin (and Parthenon means ‘’the place of the virgin’’)
Pallas/Pallada : because in gigantomachy she defeated in battle the giant Pallantas.
Promachus : (Pro=initially + Mache=Battle + suffix us/os = he,she)
this just like Pallas references to her warlike nature (it means that she is always first to jump in a battle).
Glaucopis/Glaucopida : Homer calls her like this very often and it means blue-eyed. (Her signature animal the owl is
sometimes called glaux in ancient and modern greek)
Hergane : (Hergo = work, Hergane = she who works) with this name she was potrayed as protector of goldsmith, sculpture, weaving and in general of craftsmen and crafts.
Mostly she is a goddess of wisdom but in some places like Athens is much more.
@@manapo8205 that's right. Note that in the Ancient Greek world, Athena had a similar role in religion to the Christian Virgin Mary, who also has many different names, titles and myths among the Christian world.
@@georgios_5342 Ares and Athena are both gods of war, but represent different aspects of it. Athena represents the more brainy side of war like stratagems, tactics and military deception while Ares is more of a brute warrior only in it for the slaughter
Anyone here for a history class?
Athina means ( to say , the speaking ) like
Thoti ( the person who speak means inteligent or smth like that )
Sparta ( sword )
Aferdita ( close to the day )
Pela ( woman dunky )
Mediterian ( for days they crush )
Troja ( lands )
Dardania ( pear )
Illyria ( new star , free )
Alexander ( bornd like a dream )
And more more like that have only explenation in real language that artificial greece with albanian language , history , people ( arvanitas ( from , arber ( ar- gold , ber - that make ) but with government making them fake story taken by their blood brothers albanians that are the same group from Pelasgians ( pong ) but for history they are enemies and they have take heroes , clothes etc from them but cant understand still what was because they need the language of god 🇦🇱
And god they say Dhija - that in albanian language is Goat and scanderg different from other times from traditional hat Plis he has had goat like hat etc etc world story will be real when in that will be albanians
The Greeks could rule the world. Alexander did. He took a Greek army to the far indus. There was nothing else to conquer.
