The Odyssey - Complete - Greek Mythology - See u In History Art: Carlos Gritti Color: Fabricio Cuppari #GreekMythology #Mythology #SeeUinHistory #History #MythologyExplained
One of the greatest story ever told. In Iliad we saw Achilles downfall as he was consumed by Rage making his tragic fate decided by the gods. In Odyssey we witness Odysseus courage by breaking the shackles of fate set by the gods and weaved his own destiny to return to his home. Homer is by far the best story teller ever.
Dude took ten years to get home. That’s the longest “I’m just popping in for a quick pint with the boi’s after work love and then I’ll be home” in the history of man
Odysseus proved himself the wisest of the heroes of Troy by choosing the right woman and conducting himself honorably. Penelope, Clytemnestra and Helen were cousins. Helen was unfaithful, Clytemnestra not only that but murdered her husband to run off with a lover. Meanwhile Penelope did all she could to hold Ithaca together while faithfully waiting for her husband's return.
Wasn't one of the reasons why Clytemnestra killed Agamemnon was because he sacrificed their daughter to Artemis prior to the war and also brought back Cassandra?
Thank you so much for making these great videos. They are truly a piece of art. I wish more people got to see them, you deserve millions of views for your hard work. It's absolutely incredible to watch.
Dude over a quarter of a million views on an hour plus long mythological story is pretty exceptional! I work in advertising so know first hand the amount of effort it takes to make a 30 second ad. I can't imagine the amount of effort this must have taken! I wonder where they got the visuals from - like is it taken from something existing or if it was made specifically for this.
I have just found this channel, and I love the storytelling. I am very intrigued by Greek mythology, and here, I love the combination of the comics, the art style, and the narration.
You forgot the part where Odysseus reunited with his father, and then it turns out that the suitors were the villagers' sons. And then the families formed an angry mob seeking vengeance on Odysseus for killing their sons. So Odysseus and his father (Laertes)had to fend off the families of the dead suitors
what modern version was that? The Oddesey I read(all 10 of them) ended after Odysseus and his son had killed all the suitors. After the guest had proven his strength by notching the bow and shooting it between the axe heads...there was nothing left after that
Once again you have created a video of epic proportions, anyone with even the slightest of interest in Greek mythology will be nothing less than captivated by these video doc's, with their apprehension of detail relayed by excellent narration supported by awesome visual and sound score.Thankyou.
"Sing in me muse, and through me tell the tale of a man skilled in all ways of contending. The wanderer..." So begins the Fitzgerald translation of this great epic. A beautiful story of courage, hope and faithfulness.
I was looking for this story in your channel after I finished listening to the Iliad then I realized it wasn't there but then you went ahead and uploaded it today. Thank you so much!
he was great, but he wasn't really a hero...a women left her husband to be with someone she wanted(helen even if it was a trick by the gods, but that happened in real life too so, she didn't want menalus but wanted Paris. ) So this guy was called to go over to a foreign war, to get something he had no part in. Just to be lost at sea. Maybe he was a hero to his family after he came back. But he wouldn't have been a hero without that one thing. And that was a selfish thing, so really...how can he even be called a hero? He didn't blind the cyclops to stop him from killing people, he did it to escape. everything he did was selfish
Thank you! This excellent format, of narration and animation, is the first time I've ever been able to grasp, with all its nuance and complexities, and enjoy, the story of Odysseus. New sub!
In this story, they mention that the hero Ajax died at sea after the trojan war ended, which is contradictory to what is said in the Iliad where he commited suicide by impaling himself on his sword in front of his companions in the greek camp.
There were two Ajax. "Greater Ajax", Son of Telamon, the one you're talking about, and "Lesser Ajax", Son of Oileus, King of Locris (think of the whole "same name" thing as how in modern day there are many "Johns" out there, especially in the US). Most likely given the names based on their sizes/ages as Greater Ajax was a very large and mighty warrior. Lesser Ajax had the smaller frame and was kind of considered a coward in many ways as he basically only used the bow in the Iliad and was very fast. His forcing himself upon Cassandra during the Fall of Troy is what angered the gods as it was in Athena's Temple as well. Odysseus was the one who caught him in the act and was said to be the only one who wanted to stone him. Most of the other kings said that Lesser Ajax pleaded with Athena and that they would be fine. Odysseus and Agamemnon were said to be the only ones who stayed behind in Troy a little longer to give proper sacrifices to the gods before setting sail. Another little fun fact! During Patroclus' funeral games, Odysseus was very very close to beating him in the footrace but just needed a little luck. He prayed to Athena to give him a burst of power and she did. Not only that, she made Lesser Ajax trip and landed face-first into cow dung! (I think it's Homer's foreshadowing her future dislike of him in a way) Odysseus also got into a tie in the wrestling match against Greater Ajax in the funeral games, which is funny because Greater Ajax was basically the largest man on the Greek's side and Odysseus was more "Medium". Diomedes I believe, was said to be one of the shortest men, which makes it all the cooler that he's such an amazing warrior and literally was fighting gods despite being mortal. He's a literal Short King! (I'm not an expert and sadly most of what we know about the fall of Troy is mostly lost to time, but that's what I know! 😊It's good to do your own research as well!)
@@schmad2048 Thank you for shedding light upon this briefly confusing episode of eponymous heroes. Greater Ajax was omnipresent in the Iliad movie and lesser Ajax was not even mentioned. It is therefore strange that the other heroes were mourning the loss of a character that was not part of the story to begin with, where as their good friend seems to have vanished from their memory. Otherwise, i must say that these two cartoon movies about a monument of epic litterature were quite excellent.
21:51 they must be a 2nd generation of cyclops since there were 3 cyclops brothers before polyphemus who helped the Olympians during the titanomachy by forging zeus's lightning bolt, poseidon's trident, and hades' helmet
Love love love what you all are doing please put together your short stories to make complete ones so we can play them to relax,go to bed,just listen to,educate or just enjoy
I like the video, the book was great. Though its weird that the animation goes from one thing to another. Like when Odysseus tied those logs together to make a raft. But next picture he has a boat and not a raft. And that is one gigantic handkerchief lol it's more like a blanket or a cloak than a handkerchief And the Iliad and Odyssey were great books, but how does anyone mistake Odysseus as a hero? He doesn't do anything a hero does, hes only selfish.
Hey Man I just have a request, could you please do one of these for the Indian epic Mahabharata? It will be a big hit and I would rly appreciate it. Thanks :)
Is just me? Among the Gods, Hades is the most benevolent Others are just vindictive and narcissists, Hades and Dionysus are my favorites, Argos is a good boi
Friends of mine had a daughter they named Antigony. Completely unaware of its origins and the story of king Oedipus. So of course I had to tell them the whole Greek tragedy. They simply thought it was a nice name.
57:00. That dog was neglected and beaten and was still alive after 20 years!? We can't even get dogs to live that long today with vets, abundance of food and the best possible treatment.
I like that he didn’t want to be gone from home for 20 years, and then spent enough time to have 3 kids with Circe and then spent 7 years chilling on Calypso’s island.
But he is, all these characters are. They all have the flaws we learn and adapt from in tragedies like this. Even honorable characters like Hector, Nestor, and Diomedes had their troubles. It's the human experience my guy. The Trojans nor Greeks are the sole good guys, these stories are meant to teach us to make better decisions than out heroes did. Don't look at things in the simple view of good vs bad, especially when it comes to imperfect beings like humans.
It isn't tele M'acus with the accent on the M ...it's telema K'us with a soft accent on the K. The Greeks should have sand blonde hair , hairy chests and blue eyes or red hair with hairy chests and green eyes as was their appearance in ancient times, for they descended from Esau and are the mariner tribe of Dan.
Almost all of Odysseus choices and decisions or lack therefor got his men killed😅 Thank Athena for him making at home alive (while losing 10 ships and 100 men😂)
Here's a funny video idea how about you make mythology what if basically the stores in mythology if but what if they took a different turn Like for example the story of Hephaestus trying to sleep with Athena but in that what if he would have gotten her pregnant
Imagine going to every single island, and your soldiers kept getting eaten by a cyclops by giants, and then turned into pigs, and then turned back into human. Imagine Odysseus has a a gods awful day 😂. imagine your soldiers were a huge buffet for giant cyclops to giants, and then turned into pigs. I couldn’t even imagine that day I would not trust anyone ever again on an island and then forced to eat a flower that makes you want to stay on the island and forget who you are that’s one terrible day.
The odyssey starts after the part where the war ended and Achilles avenged his lover right? Allways got me confused where the illiad ended and the odyssey began, but also way to lazy to ask wikipedia.
@@537zun4 LOL XD that's why Homer describes them as gay lovers right XDD in vivid detail too, I must have missed that. If you were homosexual in ancient Greece you couldn't vote as a citizen, even if you were merely taken without consent.
Yea Zeus was not responsible, BUT he could've DONE something in order for some good people NOT to suffer when he didn't SO he is partly responsible for Odysseus suffering, and rightly does humans blame gods and devils because they stood by watching human suffering and did NOTHING. If YOU had that immense POWER, would you do the same and ignore human suffering? But then again this is just a GREEK OR ROMAN MYTHOLOGY
Odyssey 1.32-35: "Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame upon us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given, as now lately, beyond what is given...."
