Undiscovered Greece: My First Solo Road Trip to Stymphalia, Peloponnese
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Pack your bags, I'm taking you to one of the loneliest places I have ever visited in Greece! We're going at the mythical location of Lake Stymphalia in Corinth, Peloponnese. Here, according to Greek Mythology, Hercules completed his sixth labour and killed the stymphalian birds.
" The Stymphalian birds were a group of monstrous birds in Greek mythology. They devoured humans, and had beaks made of bronze. Their feathers were sharp and metallic and could be thrown against their prey, while their dung was poisonous. They were created by the god of war, Ares, and were hunted down by wolves; to escape, the birds reached the lake Stymphalia in the Greek region of Arcadia, where they reproduced quickly and destroyed farmlands and the countryside.
Killing the Stymphalian birds was the sixth task that was appointed to the demigod hero Heracles during the myth of the Labours of Heracles. King Eurystheus asked him to kill the birds, hoping that the hero would fail. The land around the lake was a marsh and Heracles could not step safely there in order to reach the nests. So, the goddess Athena, wanting to help him, gave him a rattle that the blacksmith god Hephaestus had specifically made for this occasion. Heracles used the rattle and scared the birds which abandoned their nests and started flying. He then shot most of them down using arrows which he had previously dipped into the poisonous blood of the monster Hydra. The remaining birds flew away, abandoning Arcadia and reaching an island in the Euxine Sea. They were encountered later by the Argonauts. "

The video contains footage of amazing autumn landscapes in 4K filmed in the swampy lake of Stymphalia (unfortunately the lake was completely dried out) and the broader area surrounding it. I wanted to make this as dramatic as possible and give a sense of loneliness as if I was the last man on earth.
The video was filmed exclusively with the GoPro Hero 8. The sound design in the video was done by me and I think it adds a lot to the footage.
