The Ethiopian King Who Challenged Achilles 

​@O.K. so, you've squeezed 1 out, now pinch it off ! As always, ignorance stumps intelligence!

It just does my heart so proud when I hear another who is obviously well read and knows facts that many have overlooked. Be well friend.

​@O.K. so, you've squeezed 1 out, now pinch it off ! If you have doubts I find it best to do your own research because a doubtful mind only believes his own work, unless you're just to lazy to do it yourself.

​@@kevintownsend3840 Wise counsel. Truly, a doubtful mind believes its own research. I cannot otherwise imagine why pale-skinned people would be called 'burnt face'.

Africa is one. Look up Nilotic people. They are the native people of the Nile.

This is some Disney crap 😂

Yes, and they had build Suez Canal already before the Troyan war

Most people hear of the trojan war from the Iliad. The Iliad only tells the story from the ninth year of the war with Agamemnon having angered Apollo causing Apollo to fire arrows at the Greeks day and night. The Iliad then ends with Hector's death. I have a book called " gods and heroes of ancient Greece " that tells the story from the very beginning. Even tells of Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter to ensure a safe voyage or victory. ( My memory is a little hazy ). In the first battle when the Greeks reach troy, they fight on the beach and Achilles faces a demigod son of Poseidon who has skin as hard as iron. Achilles can't penetrate the man's skin so when they clash a final time Achilles gets the other demigod on his back and plants his knees on the guy's throat suffocating him. The book also goes beyond Hector's death and funeral and tells about the Amazonian reinforcements that arrive and are defeated, Then Memon and his Ethiopian reinforcements that show up and are also eventually defeated. Memnon kills a son of old king Nestor, Nestor sees it happen and approaches Memnon to avenge his son. Memnon explains that from a distance he thought Nestor was a younger man, and he won't fight the old man, so Achilles and Memnon fight in the most epic battle in the story. After that the Greeks sack Troy. If I remember correctly Achilles son throws Hector's baby off the wall of the city. But my buddy told me his college professor had a version where the baby was given the Drusilla treatment before being thrown from the wall. The book also tells about Agamemnon being killed in the bath when he returned home and also tells about Agamemnon's son, if I remember correctly, killing Achilles son in a duel claiming Hector's wife for himself. Agamemnon's son also avenged his father's murder. ( This may have been two different characters, possibly two different sons, as I said my memory is a little hazy ) The Iliad is great, but to get the full story of the trojan war you have to read other sources. The movie TROY is also mostly based on the iliad which is why there is no mention of the Amazons or Ethiopians.

🤣🤣🤣

The writer is describing black men’s feature and they had long hair which were locks.

Well not exactly, he is NOT a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. The kingdom of Aethiopia in the Trojan war from Hellenic Mythology has nothing to do with the country we know today as Ethiopia. The mythical kingdom of Aethiopia doesn't exist in African history mythology or culture.

the Greeks often praised Africa qnd Africans. traveled there many times. much of hheir inventions and archs bome from African. even their gods were said to be African based. they have a healthy obsession with the woolly hair burnt skinned ppl.

@@BRONZEMOZART3 Not they don't. There is no obsession with the Afro Man. The Olympian God's have nothing to do with the African God's. And none of the Hellenic inventions and arch's come from Africa.

@@BRONZEMOZART3 Memnon has nothing to do with Africa. He does NOT exist in African history mythology or culture. This video is fake and Propaganda.

the myths state that the gods took sides. Some favored Troy and some favored the Greeks. Zeus, the king of the gods, particularly favored the Greeks and Achilles because of Zeus' friendship with Achilles' mother Thetis. The only reason Zeus did not marry Thetis was that it was foretold that her son would be greater than his father. Zeus wanted the beautiful Thetis but feared a son who might overthrow him so gave her to a Greek king. Time and again, Thetis would come and ask Zeus and the other gods to help her son and the Greeks in the war. As to them mourning Memnon, the gods close to Eos and that favored Troy would mourn him.

Impossible. 😢

Always!

You can show respect to an enemy for skill and courage while still acting against the enemy.

@@amariah1980 True, but when your the God's and you pick a SIDE what's their to mourn🤔😅

That was Agamemnon based on a totally different warrior of Greek legend, similar name tho so easy to mix up ✌️

Yeah classic movie with the rock. I was in hs when the movie came out. That was the rocks debut in movies.

Your comment doesn't matter. Rather, it reflects what history has become: hostage to racialist ideologies. Some historians who dare to come out of the myth place this probable war in the 14th century BC. And MEMNON would be 2 historical characters of this time: we suspect the king of SUZE on one side and on the other he would be the pharaoh AMENOTEP III who is the character who had conquered as far as Anatolia and could have brought military support to the Trojans?

Just African Butthead 😮

@@marcossealey8612 u seem like a butthead kinda person

@@fivecinco5923 This is a great point and shows how ancient Egypt was compared with Greece. The Illiad is thought to date about 762 BCE. Amenhotep III reigned in the 14th century BCE==1350 BCE. Hundreds of years earlier and so could be the basis of the myth of Memnon at Troy. The Colossi of Memnon at Luxor that the Greeks and Romans identified with the mythological Memnon were actually statues of Amenhotep III. The Colossi are 3,400 years old. Unrelated but fun historical fact--Amenhotep III was the grandfather of King TUT. Amenhotep III and his queen Tiye are pictured with AFRO hairdos in tomb paintings and Tiye has a famous statue in the Berlin museum with an Afro and a golden crown.

@@lillybart-s9i Exactly The Colossi of Memnon at Luxor that the Greeks and Romans identified with the mythological Memnon were actually statues of Amenhotep III

You must be deluded as is the presenter of this fake narrative

The Gods also tipped the battle for Achilles when he fought Hector too. Returning his spear to him while distracting Hector. I always felt Achilles was overrated.

@@tommosley2844 Well, at the time it meant he had divine favors and it was a honor to receive actual aid from the gods. Of course, now today we think differently.

It would be more correct to say that some gods mourned Memnon, Eos and the ones either close to her or who favored the Trojans. Beside, you can still regret the death of a great champion even if he was your ennemy. Warriors live to fight and to die with honor, that's the way of things or rather was.

@@efaristi9737 In reality we know there were no Gods on the battlefield. So when Homer refers to the goddess Athena coming to Achilles aid he really means one of the Mermidons distracted Hector giving Achilles the advantage.

@imlaughinq7445 Nope. The one you mean is holding a bow and arrow the one we see on Wikipedia. That's not Memnon himself, that's a foreign warrior between the two Trojan soldiers describing his army getting ready to march for Troy.

@imlaughinq7445Give me the one your talking about. The only one amphora related to Memnon showing a foreign warrior is the one we see first on the wiki page. But that is not Memnon himself.

We still have a huge part of his story. One thing is for sure Memnon is NOT a African black hero. Plus this video makes many mistakes telling his story.

Ethiopia was basically all of Great Lakes, central, and west Afrika above The Coast of Guinea and below Libya

They meant Nubia. Or modern day Sudan.

Exactly. Memnon is NOT described being a African hero in Hellenic mythology. Memnon has nothing to do with African culture. He does NOT exist in African history mythology or culture.

No not exactly. The mythical kingdom of Aethiopia in the Trojan war in Hellenic mythology, has nothing to do with the country we know today as Ethiopia in Africa. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology.

@@EudaimonV Are you suggesting that we are being deceived by the video, and do you have any evidence? We do know that there was a lot of trade that may have happened, and trade was a big part of what made Troy. In the Bible, God has a maessage for various nations, to include Ethopia in Isaiah 18-22. There are various other references to black Africans like Miriam and Aaron approaching Moses about his Cushite wife. It wasn't that she was a Cushite, more so, about being a foreigner. (Numbers 12:1) It is clear from Biblical accounts that Ethiopia, or "The Nation south of Egypt" was part of the Ancient World. What is shown in the video doesn't hurt my perceptions.

Different man. Memnon was likely from Susa.

@hmurchison8123 that is modern day Iran, so still means he isn't from Ethiopia.

Well this video is Propaganda misleading people in believing a lie. Memnon has nothing to do with Africa. He does NOT exist in African history mythology or culture. He is a Hellenic Hero.

What are you talking about??

What? Achilles was always Greek from Thessaly, no idea where you got your information from?

He is not real. It's mythology. Emphasis on myth.

This is the exact example of Netflix. Soon they would also make Memnon a African Nubian character. It's ridiculous.

According to Myth Memnon wasnt Aethiopian. His father was a Trojan Prince and his Mother was the Godess Eos.

You basically mean ya'll will do what ya'll have always done? 😂

Eudaimon 4 days ago (edited) Why is Memnon a African character?? Memnon is NOT described being Aethiopis In Hellenic Mythology. His parents are Tithonus a prince of Troy brother to Priam king of Troy and Eos a Titaness in the Hellenic pantheon. He is related to Troy from his father side NOT from his mother side. His mother is a Titaness on mount Olympus. King Priam is his uncle NOT cosin. Why are you saying things that don't exist?? The kingdom of Aethiopia has nothing to do with the country of Ethiopia we know today. Memnon does not exist in African history mythology or culture. Do some research and respect Hellenic culture. Lol you people lie as easily as normal humans breathe, or as eagles take flight. Aethiopia LITERALLY means "burnt face" in the Greek; here is art from the 500 BC era depicting Memnon on a vase. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memnon#/media/File:The_Departure_of_Memnon_for_Troy._Greek,_circa_550-525_B.C..jpg Psalm 58:3 "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies."

@@TomiAdewoleAdetom Nice try but art is free. First of all there is only ONE amphora related to Memnon showing an Aethiopis between two Trojans soldiers describing his army getting ready to march for Troy. ONLY ONE. Secondly an artistic personal approach to the character especially created hundreds of years later does not change the Mythology of a culture.

@@kailani112 No Memnon has nothing to do with Africa or the country we know today as Ethiopia. The kingdom of Aethiopia doesn't exist in African history mythology or culture. The kingdom of Aethiopia only exists in Hellenic mythology and is located in the east where the sun is closer to the land when it rises. It was Herodotus in the 5th century BCE who would change the location of Aethiopia in his travels to Egypt when he came in contact with Nubian Egyptians who had a darker skin complexion. The kingdom of Aethiopia in Hellenic mythology is in the East. The land of Aethiopia is South of Egypt and Libya. African people never referred to themselves as Aethiopians. Aethiopis is a Hellenic word used ONLY by Hellens. Memnon is NOT described being a African Nubian character in Hellenic mythology. Memnon does NOT exist in African history mythology or culture. Understand now?

Because it is said the gods gave favor a nice way of trying to say Achilles wouldn't have won or didn't win its words to apply cheating

because the death of Achilles could've very likely ended up tipping the scale in the trojans favor, and the gods were determined to see troy fall, the trojans also had some gods on their sides, but most including Athena and Heira wanted to see the city fall, Achilles was a key factor in achieving victory so he received aid. doesn't mean they had a personal grudge against Memnon, and due to his achievements and the facts that he had divine origins, of course the gods were saddened by his death.

He did not have the favour of the God's like you think he had. The fates decided that he would win.

@@EudaimonV the fates of men too are controlled by Gods, if you believe in that sort of thing. So technically he did receive help. Besides, many historical texts highlighted this aspect too, about the interference of the Gods

​@@siddharthtripathi1818I have a couple of reasons. Achilles' entire body, besides one heel, was invulnerable to physical damage. The god's who were on the Tojan's side knew Hector would lose his fight with Achilles in embarrassing fashion despite his skills at war, so they compelled him to try and run away and when that failed, they tried to heavily tip the battle in his favour. Achilles was given back his spear by one of the god's and nothing more. Memnon was able to hang with Achilles, because he was also a demi-god, however, there is no mention in the actual text of Achilles recieving help to defeat him. It says Memnon drew first blood, but Achilles won by stabbing him through the heart.

Nope, Zues just holds the scales he don't choose at all, the FATES DECIDE That stuff

its the color of the pottery burned after many years. Thats why Greeks call it "erythromorfo" and "melanomorfo".

@@EudaimonV In Herodotus In his view, "Aethiopia" is all of the inhabited land found to the south of Egypt, beginning at Elephantine. He describes a capital at Meroë, adding that the only deities worshipped there were Zeus (Amun) and Dionysus (Osiris).
