Philip : Hey Spartan, can i meet you inside your house? Spartan : No Philip : How about either we meet at your frontyard ? Spartan : Neither Philip : If i smash the door of your house, i shall drag you out myself! Spartan : If 😂😂😂
@@lutherchaudhari4301 OH MY FUCKIG GOD IS THIS WHERE THE WORD LACONIC COMES FROM? As in Lacedaemonian became Laconian? this can't b right this is better than commodus the commode lol
All are apocryphral, ie. never happened. Sparta was in no position of power, having been completely maimed by the Thebans under Epaminondas a generation earlier, of which Philip was well aware having been mentored by Epaminondas (one of the reasons for Philip's absolute mastery of warfare and tactics). They served no threat whatsoever at the time, and when they attempted some years later, were put down by a mere governor serving in the region under Alexander....
Nice video! I suggest doing a collab. with larger history channels such as the armchair historian or historymarche so more people can see your videos. Having only a few hundred subscribers for the quality of videos made is criminal!
I came here because of Invicta, I stayed for the quality. Keep up the good work! It's a shame that there are only 3 videos out (I mean, I can only imagine the work put into those) and I'd love to watch some more
Man the quality of your video's keeps getting better and better! You really deserve that 100k subs! I wish you the best of luck, and i really hope you will be able to find the time to keep delivering us such awesome content! But with 100k subs or not, i'll be hooked on you from now on :)
Came after Invicta's shoutout. Im happy I clicked on it. I'll watch the rest of your videos and I am sure they are as good as this and the previous one ;') subbed.
Man I forgot to comment when I watched this video the day you uploaded it, but honestly, seeing you upload made my day! Can't wait for this channel to blow up, keep posting please!
Thanks man! My channel blew up a little since the day I released it ^^ I will be collaborating with Invicta in the future and I'm expecting to get even more recognition due to that.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 I'm really looking forward to it! I love the way you cover the small details that other history youtubers leave out while trying to overgeneralize the story to fit an entire historical period into a 20 min video. These small details are actually the most interesting things that makes you really understand the full context, historical characters and their decisions. You can only learn about those details in historical literature, mostly academic, which can be quite dull and monotonous, and frankly, rarely immersive. This channel goes in depth and that's really awesome. Hopefully, this will motivate you to post more often haha
@@SilverisDuhas That's what I think, these details are a big deal. I like academic literature, wheter it's immersive depends on the topic it deals with and how well you know the subject prior to reading. It's a great comment, definitely motivating, thank you.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 by the way, do you know of any sources or academic literature that details Philip's conquest of Thrace? The only information I was able to find was that he defeated the thracians in a series of battles and then deposed the three thracian kings and made their lands into Macedonian provinces, and then he went to the Danube and defeated an army of Scythians and took 20,000 women and children as slaves but on the march back to Macedonia, he was ambushed by a force of triballians and lost all the spoils of war. Would be awesome to learn more about this campaign but information is scarce
@@SilverisDuhas You could start by reading "Philip and Macedonia's Northern Neighbours" by Harry J. Dell. I would read Justin books 7-9 and Diodorus Siculus book 16, fragments which deal with Philip in Thrace. Then search for something on it in Polyaenus book 4 and Frontinus and "Sayings of the kings and Commanders" in Moralia, I wouldn't read Demosthenes speeches on my own. Later "Philip's Thracian Campaign of 352-351 " by J. R. Ellis And look into the references for suggested reads. Search Jstor and Academia.eu with keywords Or more detailed books on Philip, I heard Hammond's book is a good one, haven't read it though. I also once read a paper analysing skeleton of Philip. Where the leg wound he received in Thrace was analysed. You can actually find a mention of this leg wound in Justin.
Love it ! Really well made ! Please continue producing content about Ancient Greece and their wars . It would be fantastic if you could put on the channel a series about the Peloponnesian wars and Greek-Persian wars, that would a great change ! Keep doing this awesome content !
Thanks! I don't really plan on making Peloponnesian wars nor Greek-Persian wars. My area of expertise is period 359-281 BC, that's what I know the best, and that's what I want to stick with.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 Maybe another topic of your interest , you should cover the Syracusian Carthagian wars over the control of Sicily , that is a subject which I never see online. Or the Sulla Civil War and the Cathaline Conspiracy. Please for more inspiration, you could bring videos of parts of history which were not yet presented by Kings and Generals, History Marche ,Baz Battles, Know History. Topics as mentioned they didn’t make for now.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 Another thing I would like to point out , is how good the graphic quality of your channel is .Please continue with your talent on the channel , ask others creators to share your content , surely there will be great interest on such masterpieces!
@@christianmartins9629 I would definitely like to cover Agathocles of Syracuse one day (Syracusian-Carthagian wars), but not now. I am already commited to do a detailed series on Alexander(or a at least start it). I know many people somewhat covered it, but honestly I think they have done such a bad job at doing it, that I think I can do it way better myself. (also it's good for yt algorithm)
@@christianmartins9629 Thanks. I already ask Invicta from time to time to shoutout me, and he does it. I'm not friends with any other channel, so I doubt anyone else will shoutout me.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the artwork, I practiced making this stuff for few months, until I came up with the current design. I am satisfied with how it looks now.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 You should be proud! I never knew philip actually strong armed the spartans here, I thought he just left them alone. Can't wait for more!
Do we know much about the campaign in Italy? Would be nice to have a video about some lesser known Spartan exploits, similar to this one with diplomacy with Phillip.
There isn't much known. Diodorus Siculus briefly mentions it in book 16 and Plutarch just says that Archidamus was "slain by the Messapians at Mandurium in Italy"; there wouldn't be much to say about the campaign itself. As for the history of Spartan exploits, I will be covering the revolt of Agis (331 BC) in the near future.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 Tragically, the Spartans weren't the best writers, so their campaigns in Africa and the like are largely unknown. Excited to hear about the rebellion in detail, it's always glossed over in history. Thanks, Deuratus.
@@vanivanov9571 If I'm not mistaken most written documents were banned around the 5th Century. Records of laws were kept but got destroyed later on due to infighting.
@@vanivanov9571 Yeah, it's especially rough since Spartans were regarded as some of the best poets in Greece, as all citizens, both male and female, were taught it as a part of their education. There are some amazing Spartan poets that write about the Messenians Wars prior to this reform. I believe the reform has something to do with wanting to avoid a powerful figure using written documents to enlarge their legacy and power, similar to how Roman Consul's would errect statues dedicated to the legislature they passed while in office.
@@AlexanderClovis I would love to see that too, but it needs to wait. Seems like Cleomenes III is the most requested topic I get, there were few other comments asking for it
Thanks man. I will be covering Diadochi (at least I plan to cover it) but first I will be doing Alexander's campaigns. I want to do it in detail and there's a lot to cover. Therefore Diadochi are in plans but it won't come soon.
Maps: Wonderdraft & Photoshop Icons: Photoshop Animations: After Effects Montage: Sony Vegas 16 Although from now on, I think, I will be using Premiere Pro instead of Sony Vegas, since Sony Vegas crashes way too often.
I liked how you broke down even further the way in which Phillip segregated Sparta and took over Greek cities to his unification of a single Greece state, found you through Invicta&sub👍.. cA
Życzę Koledze wielu subskrypcji i może jak kanał urośnie, to w przyszłości znajdzie się miejsce na przedstawienie kilku tematów z polskiej historii? Powodzenia i wytrwałości.
Dzięki! Nie ukrywam, rozważałem zrobienie serii o Bolesławie Krzywoustym, ale jednak starożytna Grecja to jest ten okres którym interesuję się najbardziej. Może kiedyś, coś się uda zrobić z historią Polski.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 Trzymam za to kciuki, bo na anglojęzycznym jutubie brakuje rzetelnie zrobionych filmów o historii Polski, a ten kanał ma potencjał żeby zdobyć dużą widownię. Ale jakikolwiek temat nie zostałby tu poruszony na pewno będzie warty obejrzenia.
With Wonderdraft indeed. The only extra asset I used was color pack, it added something like 50 colors to paint with. As to city icons and text: I added those later in Photoshop
@@dorkmax7073 I mean: mountains, trees, landmass are in wonderdraft by default, these are basic assets. The colors you can make yourself but the extra color pack comes useful. I have colors from "Avoro 5.0" asset pack. Text font is "Dalek".
I really impressed by Philip's diplomatic dicisions after 4th sacred war. He weakened every greek states, but also gained supports form them by repects greek tradition and maintains pre-existing political systems.
Up until the Achean league briefly conquered the city in 222 BC , Sparta kept its independence , however the final conquest of Sparta came from the Romans in 146 BC. Furthermore, Antipater managed to decisively defeat them in battle , which brought Sparta to obscurity in the years to come , up until Cleomenes' reforms .
Yes, Macedonian king Antigonus Doson with assistance of the Acheans defeated Spartan king Cleomenes in 222 BC, entered the city and thus conquered Sparta. In regards to Antipater, he was campaigning in Thrace at the time when Spartans revolted. He had to quickly conclude his campaing in Thrace and move against Agis. Agis was defeated and killed, and the Spartans were required to yield 50 nobles as hostages and send envoys to Alexander in Asia to beg mercy. The matter of Sparta was resolved through League of Corinth. Antipater did not raid the city as far as I know, and he did not have to quickly return to Macedonia at that time
Just leaving this comment here so I have proof of being one of the first, before this channel explodes in popularity and my comments get lost in the sea of infinite comments
4:00 so here the Spartans would’ve referred to themselves as “We, the Hellenes”? Can you make a video explaining who Hellen was and how the tribes of Greece came to be descending from him? It’s interesting to me that he had the same name as Helen of Sparta but was a male.
@@deuratusanimatedhistory10 gotcha... now that you mention it, Of course it is mythology. I appreciate the videos on Phillip. He often gets overshadowed by you-know-who
This should have ended with the Battle of Megalopolis. With Alexander busy at Tyre, the Spartans, with Persian allies attempted to defeat the Macedonians but were defeated. Subsequently, becoming members of the League of Corinth.
