Okhlos - Ancient Greek Riot Simulator 

I love the videos where Jon gets to act as if his degree in Classics matters.

I like how Hermes was throwing mail.

Jon, I found 3 games you might like: Clandestine, a co-op stealth game, Styx: Master of Shadows, a dark fantasy stealth game, and War for the Overworld, a Dungeon Keeper style management/RTS game

Pretty sure Muda isn't Greek... but things like that don't mean The World to me

Things I have learned today: •Jon is a nerd for Ancient Greece

I feel like that lady with the dogs who massacred your mob was Scylla, I might be wrong

You should do a Full play through. Surely, everyone agrees.

So, you mistook Scylla for a weird Cerberus. Classicist my ass.

I heard about this game from another youtube channel, and wanted to check it out. I came for the gameplay, I'm staying, cause our guy here is quite the badass history buff.

Spartan slaves are actually called helots. Important distinction because it's more of a caste system than slavery.

"300 -- the second most ludicrous account of the Battle of Thermopylae, after Herodotus." I do so love this channel.

Just because there are multiple contributors to the Odyssey and the Illiad doesn't mean Homer didn't exist, it just means he wasn't the sole contributor. It's entirely possible one guy set up the framework or devised the structure or had a particularly good rendition of it.

learning about Greek history and seeing a new game AND some classic Jon humour. best RU-vid channel

Hi Jon, Thanks for making great videos!

Ares wasn't really flimsy. You boosted your people's attack damage by a massive amount.

I love it that they cry "μολὼν" and "λαβέ", Gk. for "come " and "take" 'em (i.e. 'gonna hit ya, then ya, and ya!')

"I'm all about the slaves." ~Many A True Nerd 2016

I love it when a game is about ancient rome or greece and MATN shows his knowledge

This is a brilliant idea for a game. It's like Rampage meets that zombie game where you play a mob of zombies that has to zombify everyone through level-ups.

This is so much fun to watch. Thank you Jon. I love when you play games about Roman and Greek history. The commentaries are hiliarious. Really love the art style and in-game jokes as well.

I like all of your videos before finishing them because I know they're already great!

I hope this becomes a series! it's so funny with your commentary lol

I love that almost every game he plays is a bit of a history lesson too :D

I'd love to see more of this, it was both interesting and funny, I've always been really interested in ancient history especially the Greeks. Keep up the good work Jon!

I actually think that you didn't have anyone in lemnos because the game glitched. You got killed as the the boss died, so it basically started a new game, but loaded the next area.

How do you find all these games Jon? I feel like you find so, so, sooo many cool and amazing games still in beta or alpha that I've never heard of and love. Do you just receive emails from the developers and pick the intresting ones, or do you have ways of finding them on your own? Either way, thanks for bringing them to my attention, and for doing what you do.

not a minute in and Jon goes on an exposition about homer, the Illiad and the Odessey... gonna be a good video

The argument I heard was that Homer (I suppose it applies to either Homer) likely either assembled separate stories either already written down or from the oral tradition - there was a tradition of making huge assemblage books from individual tales that persisted in nearby regions, and not really a lot of evidence of people doing collaborative writing on entirely new works, so it would have made sense. "Homer scribed this" could mean that he just took down what was already there and embellished a bit, but who knows really? If I ever get a time machine up and running I will certainly be greeting the fire carrying mob that eventually turned up at the doors of the library of alexandria with a chain gun. :3

7:12 That's exactly what Drakularos wants you to think though Jon!

Possibly one of the only games in which philosophy is critical to your ability to perpetuate violence.

"Heroes are death for that level." So you could say... Hereos never die.

You should definitely play this game whenever it does get full release. Like, a full playthrough, 5 episodes of this would be great

This game reminds me a lot of the Overlord games. Sending swarms of minions to wreck everything and kill things, all mixed with some cheeky humor. I like it lol.

it makes me so happy that Jon can read Greek

Jon and Classics. My two favourite things.

Finally a Let's Player who doesn't screams 12.098 times p/ microsecond like a lobotomized baboon.

Hermes was throwing envelopes out of his satchel bag! XD

Oh my goodness, that was great! Thanks Jon!

I seriously recommend playing Pikmin 2 and 3, I recently finished 3 and was blown away at how atmospheric and beautiful it was.

Rodina is a game that is what no mans sky wants to be. I would definitely recommend for you to play it.

14:37 That's "labete", Jon. Unless you're speaking to your favourite slave, of course.

That title compels me.

Jon is my new history teacher I swear

This should be a series

This would be a sweet mechanic for a game about a Necromancer.

The graphics remind me of the Kongregate game Infectonator.

This game is so sweet! Just downloaded it and played my first game. Don't give up on defenders though. They're the only units you can spend to get healers. Once you ahve a healer though, I don't know that defenders are very useful. they weren't for me at least.

I learned more about ancient Greek history during this video than the entire three years of Ancient Greece History I was taught in school. But OMG those pronounciations! :P

hello jon thank you for making great videos and make me happy

I learnt a lot less about Greek history than I was expecting to.

The only real reference I got here was to Raphael's The School at Athens at 1:07. So at least Plato and Aristotle survived the giant foot.

This looks pretty amazing

You missed out the chance to say "Heroes... Never die!" :P I think you losing all your heroes was a bug, since you technically reached a game over when you beat Hermes and your last philosopher was killed.

More powerful than Artemis' bow... Hermes' bag of letters!

What in the hell is your line of work to know that much about The Illiad and The Odyssey?

LOL, 58:00 His last philosopher actually died at the same time that he killed the final boss.. that kinda sucks, actually, if it means you have to start the next level with one philosopher and no heroes :o

This seems like what it would be like to lead a PROPA OrK WAAGH!!! Seems fun.

He keeps making the mob attack while moving, but attacking slows down movement

Just so you know, Jon, I look forward to your power-up "Dun-na-na-na"'s.

I look forward to the day when 8 and 16 bit art styles fall out of fashion.

I must have missed this chapter in The Republic...

You had me at "like pikmin"

I love his sarcasm

Jon, the thing you thought was Cerberus, I think it was Scylla

haven't watched the full video but it kind of already fills age of mythology ish (graphic wise)

Seriously though, Herodotus was full of sh*t.

damn Jon another hour video, you're spoiling us😆😆😅

This game is amazing.

Anyone else worried about Jon's newfound love of slavery?...

So, it's Anarcute in Ancient Greece.

Please make a series from this.

Phoenicia was a diplomatic sea trade county.

this game is just like overlord but more simplistic

Anyone else want to see Jon play God of War and freak out at the inaccuracies?

Could we get more videos of this? Like The Curious Expedition?

5:25 and thus, modern man was born.

Jon, have you played Apotheon? It's also an ancient greek themed game.

Brilliant video btw

That game was made in my country... For sure coffee machine fall in bankruptcy.

John a objective question. Who invented the airplane?

is Jon a classicist?

You know, what's actually interesting is that I can read Russian--Cyrillic-- and I can understand the Greek letters by way of that, although I don't speak or understand any Greek... It's interesting how similar those two written languages are, to the point where I can understand Greek phonetically, more or less, without any knowledge of Greek whatsoever...

This reminds me of a game called 'forest fire worlds' I think you would like it. Sadly it seems trapped in development hell. Try doing a why not Wednesday or something on it.

Jon, you should REALLY check out Apotheon, if you haven't already. I think you'd love it.

If Jon was my history teacher...

Many a True Education time! Yay!

Jon, after watching this and the Ryse series I have one question to ask. Why do you know so much!?

I thought that we don't "know" there were several Homers. Isn't it a hugely debated topic between classical scholars?

now waiting for pikmin on the channel

MOOOOOOOAAAAARRRR also play turmoil, you might like it - on steam

Jon, Odysseus was actually gone for a total of 20 years, 10 in Troy, 10 on his way home. So... Sorry. Us classicists gotta stick together, though.

Damn it, you made me google phoenicians

Are you going to continue this as a series?

58:18 Seems to be bug that happened because you died at the same time as Hermes

Weren't voting rights different based on the relative city-state? For example I believe in Sparta basically just men were allowed to vote, but Athens believed in allowing land owning women and then most men to vote. (I could be wrong on this information, it's been awhile since my Ancient Greek courses)

John do you mind telling us what you majored in during uni? I think you said it was Ancient Studies or something like that during another play through, but I can't remember for the life of me

What was your work before RU-vid? And you are a lot more intelligent then the average youtuber!

Jon we need moar of this please

MATN you cheeky showoff

Mat you should totally do another Total War Warhammer playthrough with mods maybe? Or Cities: Skylines
