#history #meme #greek

[giorgioguolo]

This isnt even a meme anymore.
It's downright educational

[afinoxi]

These videos are slowly becoming more and more history summaries rather than memes tbh

[nikolaosboukouvalas]

Greek History be like:
> Invents Democracy
> Spends 92% of their history as some short of Monarchy.
> Busts everyone's balls about how cool they are for being the birthplace of Democracy.

"Philosophers in garbage cans"
"Life is good"

Couldn't agree more

Interestingly enough, one of the reasons why Athens lost their invasion of Siciliy is because one of their main commanders, Alcibiades, escaped to Sparta and joined their side to escape punishment. His crime? According to his enemies, he knocked off penises from the statues of Hermes.

I personally love the fact that one of the biggest feuds in Greek Philosophy was between Plato and Diogenes, a professional wrestler and a hobo. I'm dead serious. Diogenes lived in a barrel, and Plato's real name is unknown, since Plato was his wrestling name, meaning Broad. The man was so swole that "swole" was basically his name.

[XxLIVRAxX]

Using Age of Mythology soundtrack proves this is indeed an scholarly exposition

[Mordecrox]

I like how the lack of repet or punchline implies that the greeks still haven't finished the first iteration of their vicious cycle. Truly the greatest civilization

[wublesmoop]

During Ancient and Medieval times, Greece was a political and economic powerhouse. Proceeds to experience unending perpetual debt crisis during the Modern Era

France: I promise I won't do a revolution tonight
*3 drinks later*

[miketacos]

I love that the Age of Mythology soundtrack is an inextricable part of Greek history.

[mariusthomashoutvedkristia]

Alexander did not die without an heir, two of his wifes were pregnant, Alexander IV was born the same year Alexander died, Phillip III his brother was also an heir. His generals didn't "split his empire up", they (the generals) warred near constantly with eachother from 323 BC - 281 BC or arguably 272 BC with the death of Pyrrhus. It is called the wars of the Diadochi.

[fishofgold]

I noticed the use of the soundtrack of 'Age of Mythology' by Ensemble Studios. I was playing the Extended Edition of the game on steam just an hour or so ago. And, yes, I played as a Greek.

[BluJean]

I'm astonished that the Yuezhi/Tocharians finally made it into a history meme, either the world is getting smarter or I'm getting old...

[scirotempestus]

Ah yes, my favourite every 2 days video

I LOVE IT!

[TheAncientMysteriesBeckon]

*Fun Hellenic facts* : The Father of Western Philosophy (SOCRATES) detested Democracy. Plato said Mankind’s only true hope was a Philosopher-King to dictate. The Ancients knew the creation of reality began with Chaos.

[nutshelledturtle]

This isn't an exaggerated made up war this is the actual history of Greece

[-Raylight]

*"Philosopher lives in garbage cans"* Poor Diogenes lol

The deaths are sus. There are impostors among us!

[thebadideavarietyhour]

Got that nostalgia hit from that Age of Mythology music, huge thanks
