I absolutely loved this format! I feel like youtube is flooded with videos that are just repeating history over and over in that monotone sort of voice that makes you space out... great job!

Great to see Phil Collins is keeping busy

I really enjoyed this. The format is so engaging and Tristan is a delightful, knowledgeable presenter. Lots more like this please.

This guy is phenomenally knowledgeable. So, so well done.

Of course, there was a central sewage system in Athens, and it came to our knowledge in 2003, when the Athens subway was being built.

For the question on how ancient Greek music sounded there is some amusing reading to be had on that subject by Plato.

Can't recommend the Ancients podcast enough. Indeed, all of History Hit's podcasts are bangers, I particularly recommend Dan Snow's History Hit, American History Hit, The Ancients, After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds, and the Paranormal, and Gone Medieval. Dr Eleanor Janega is a frequent co-host or guest, if you know who she is you know how unbelievably engaging and fun to listen to she is. Treat yourself!

You talk like I do when I talk about things I'm passionate about, small tangents, the details, small storytelling etc. It made it extremely easy to follow and understand!

This is a fun format. I’ve always enjoyed Wired’s version. But the sound effects and music were really distracting, especially when it was louder than the speaker.

Greek ancient civilization has something so special about it.

Aeschylus is probably my favorite greek playwright. His words so beautifully stir the soul, even thousands of years later. For instance, his ramous quote "He who learns must suffer." Succint yet still wise. But the rest of the quote is often forgotten.

"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart
until, in our own despair, against our will,
comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."

I understand symposia to be a sort of challenge to use logic and philosophy to debate while drinking. It was a way to establish status and recognition. Less a party than a sort of competition to show that you had the character and gravitas it took to remain rational while drinking.

First off it's was so funny for the first thirty seconds of this video because I listen to Tristan's podcast "The Ancients" (I'M OBSESSED WITH IT) and I never realized until now I had never SEEN what Tristian looked like so when I saw him in this video I was only able to recognize that it was Tristian when he started SPEAKING LMAO. LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thanks History Hit & Tristan!
