Who was Achilles? | Early Life of the Legendary Hero

When our own recorded histories have such figures as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Brennus, Alaric, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Godfrey of Bouillon, why shouldn't there have been an Achilles, an Agamemnon, an Odysseus, a Hector?

If I could go back in time, then the first thing i would do was to go back and find out if Achilles really exist! 🙏

Arcodding to a legend of my island he founded a city called vrisa And he used to bring the horses to drink from a well which is still here

I named my son Achilles 👌🏻👶

So excited! Love your videos

Achilles needed a podcast.

Very nice video about my favorite Greek hero! It is apparent that you put a lot of work and effort into making it.

Very cool. The story of the Myrmidons is a rather mysterious one. I recalled that they were created as men from ants, by an act of Zeus, following a disaster, though I thought they were autocthonous to Pthia. Having looked it up, I misremembered the story a bit, as they were created in this way, following a disaster, but it was after a plague (rather than a flood, as I thought). Also, they were not originally native to Pthia, but were described as being from Aegina. Aeacus was the king of Aegina, and his son Peleus brought Myrmidons to Pthia, presumably making them the Achaians who conquered the natives there and established 'Mycenaean' rule and civilization.

Damn, son! Those maps are bloody beautiful!

Hey great video! Mispronounced some words I think, but Id like to see the next iteration of your coverage of Achilles

Really love this! Congrats! One small thing, could you quote sources in your videos please? I'm doing some research to write my latest comic book and I would love to confirm all this stuff. (granted, I can check easily going on google and finding them myself, but it would be amazing if you listed them in your videos <3 )

This is so much better than the movie Troy... thanks, man, superb job again!

This was an absolute amazing story of the ancient times that defines what a man is capable of accomplishing before he bids farewell to the earth.

Me: was Achilles real? Video: he was taught by a centaur. Me: got it.

Do you have a video about Ajax ?

King of Myrmidones in Thessaly (Fthia)

His name will be remembered!

Thing is what do they look like a armor wise

"Achilles and Patroclus thus became great friends." That's one way to put it, I guess.
