Ares and the Rage of Achilles

"Achilles is the greatest of all Greek heroes" ...so true

Achilles is the greatest Greek hero, because of the underlying complexity of the character that usually gets ignored.

When reading Achilles bloodlust and rage in chasing down Hector, I too felt energised and enthused.

Ares should have his own video game.

I have always had sense that Achilles was just Ares and Alexander was his next Incarnation.

Love to hear the story of Achilles and Memnon dual !!!

Yeah, but the only reason we don't see Ares much in the Iliad is because he was sidelined by the hero who picked up the slack while Achilles was pouting in his tent... and once again poor Diomedes gets left out of another film about the Iliad... :)

Love Achilles 👍

More mythology pls, your narrative presentation is much more professional than other youtubers

This was sensational.

Someone will say: And are you not ashamed, Socrates, of a course of life which is likely to bring you to an untimely end? To him I may fairly answer: There you are mistaken: a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong - acting the part of a good man or of a bad. Whereas, according to your view, the heroes who fell at Troy were not good for much, and the son of Thetis above all, who altogether despised danger in comparison with disgrace; and when his goddess mother said to him, in his eagerness to slay Hector, that if he avenged his companion Patroclus, and slew Hector, he would die himself - "Fate," as she said, "waits upon you next after Hector"; he, hearing this, utterly despised danger and death, and instead of fearing them, feared rather to live in dishonor, and not to avenge his friend. "Let me die next," he replies, "and be avenged of my enemy, rather than abide here by the beaked ships, a scorn and a burden of the earth." Had Achilles any thought of death and danger? For wherever a man's place is, whether the place which he has chosen or that in which he has been placed by a commander, there he ought to remain in the hour of danger; he should not think of death or of anything, but of disgrace. And this, O men of Athens, is a true saying.

I've seen documentaries about Ares they all said he was stabbed in battle and ran like a bitch
