@MrSaywutnow 6 лет назад

I have one question about the Siege of Themyscira - how the hell does a (presumably walled) city under siege get their hands on bears? Did they just happen to have a zoo? Was their some rich eccentric who just happened to have some pet bears in their mansion? Did the city garrison have trained bears (a la Wojtek)? This is going to keep me up all night.

@MetalHeadViking 6 лет назад

Well Themyscira was a hellenic city at the time. And in hellenic culture they used to use animals for entertainment sometimes. So it is possible that the bears had some keeper who had some business with useing bears as entertainment, and that he would then willingly or forcefully turn in his exotic animals over to the defence of the city against the romans.

That story about the raven was hilarious. And the one about Horme legitimately made me tear up. We are separated from Arrianus by 2000 years. He could not have conceived of us today and it's hard to imagine what the world was like back then. If we met this guy today, we could barely communicate with him even with the help of experts, let alone find much common ground on a personal level, yet our love for a dog transcends time and it is something that everyone instantly understands.

"There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time." ― David M. Eagleman, "Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives" "Some day soon, perhaps in forty years, there will be no one alive who has ever known me. That's when I will be truly dead - when I exist in no one's memory. I thought a lot about how someone very old is the last living individual to have known some person or cluster of people. When that person dies, the whole cluster dies,too, vanishes from the living memory. I wonder who that person will be for me. Whose death will make me truly dead?" ― Irvin D. Yalom, "Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy"

I believe the point of view differs from person to person, and how they perceive their pets. If you don't own or aren't around pets, it's hard to empathize with what Arrian felt. Some of them treat them as only pets. Some treat them as whole family members. For me, Arrian's story is amazingly wholesome, and I can relate to his feelings.

I love that more than a thousand years later Horme is now remembered by perhaps up to 371.352 people (the view count of this video as I'm watching it). It's really touching. I'm glad this is the case.

I loved hearing the dog names. Couldn't help but imagine all the dogs that have been loved and named and live their lives alongside humans over the centuries. I dunno why but that really humanized the ancients for me.

@maxerrixon1267 5 лет назад

Oh man, that bird mania thing really cracked me up hard. The Horme story brought tears to my eyes. And the fact that so many scriptures have been lost is tragic, but we shall be grateful for the few glimpses we get. Imagining life back then and connecting to those people through their stories is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your insight!

You do an insane amount of research for your videos you managed to motivate me to actually read books for once i always hated reading in school which probably made me have a bad opinion about reading but I just got the Gallic Wars and still reading and I like the fact that I saw all of your battle videos before i read the book so as soon as I knew it was going to a new chapter I already knew what battles were going to be fought thank you so much your videos gave me more context into what I was reading. Keep it up!

There's something really humanising about Arrian's account of Horme. He may have lived nearly 2000 years ago in a society drastically different to today, but it's reassuring to know that even back in those times people loved their strongboys the way we do now.

Let us all agree to teach our children and grandchildren to pass along the story of Horme. Arrian set out to ensure his strongboy would never be forgotten, and goddammit it’s made it this far and it is now our duty to keep it going!
