Ancient Roman and Greek Heroes

[carameloxx]

wars has always been and will alway be..its in our blood..its in our nature..even animals fight

[cj62392]

too bad Achilles was Greek and Hector was Trojan

[ElricMeln1]

@cj62392 Trojan were another greek tribe...maybe mixed with other nations but a greek one...Same gods and customs..Trojan war was a civil war in reality...cheers

[cj62392]

@ElricMeln1 I don't think so, the Trojans did have similar culture, however they were not on the Greek peninsula and considered the Greeks to be "foreign".

[ElricMeln1]

@cj62392 i know but greeks had already migrated and dispersed to minor asia prior the turning og the 2nd millenium bc!!! its higly possible to share origins with Troy!!dont forget that in ancient times Greece was not one...they were city-states with conflicts all the time...that doesnt make the foreign nations...right??

[cj62392]

@ElricMeln1 I know but it just seems like the Greek army wouldn't have annihilated Troy in the way they did if they truly considered them to be Greek. It's probably like immigrants in north america today. You can be Italian American because of your heritage, but you're not really Italian, you're American.

[2010Nodari]

@ElricMeln1 Not all the times mate.

[dimitili]

@cj62392 WAS SYRACOUSE FOREIGN? CYRENE, PERGAMON , ALEXANDRIA....I THINK THAT IS THE MAJOR FAULT U GUYS DO , HELLAS CAOLONIES WERE MULTIPLE AND IN ALL MEDDITERANEAN...TROY CULTURE WAS THE SAME , DEITIES ,THE SAME , LANGUAGE , THE SAME, ARTS AND WARFARE , THE SAME , NAMES , THE SAME , REIGNS , THE SAME, ALL THE SAME .THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THEY WERE FROM 2 DIFFERENT HELLENIC TRIBES.....THE AIOLIANS AND THE IONIANS, AFTER THAT CAME THE DORIAN PRIDE......

[dimitili]

@cj62392 BOTH HELLENES THEY WERE BUT RIVALS..AS WAS ACHILEUS AND AGAMEMNON BEFORE,AS WAS MENELAOS AND DIOMEDES AS ALL STATES HERE IN GREECE,STILL ARE ALWAYS WILL BE.TRY ATHENS WITH SALONICA, CHANIA IN CRETE WITH IRAKLEION IN CRETE, LARISSA WITH VOLOS.BUT IN THE END THEY ARE ALL HELLENES.AND WHEN THEY REALIZED IT WAS LATE.ROMANS TOOK HELLAS BY DIVIDE AND CONQUER.EVEN ALEXANDERS GENERALS KILLED THEM SELVES TO SPOIL THE EMPIRE.WHAT AN EMPIRE HELLAS WOULD HAVE BEEN IF NOT FOR INNER KILLING

[AemiliaPaulla]

Not only is Achilles included, but he is being played by the cringeworthy Brad Pitt. Double fail.

[mihai1369]

what this song ?

[chanceryals1]

only romans and greeks r the only real latins and dont forget about 300 being holywood crap not accurate at all

[mitsuomi2]

@chanceryals1  greeks aren't latin they're......greek

[chanceryals1]

@mitsuomi2 no they spoke latin the made latin so they r latin they r true latins all west European country's speak a from of latin France spain and Portugal and even german and english r froms of latin and all though out history they been called latin so check up on your history

[Sixx28]

@chanceryals1 Chance, you need to check up on YOUR history. The Greek people(or Hellenes as they were known in ancient times) were not "Latins." The Latin people were an ancient tribe that existed in Italy even before the founding of Rome. Now it should be noted that later when Rome had absorbed Greece into her growing empire the Hellenes learned Latin as seen by Polybius a Greek historian who wrote in Latin. It should also be noted that the Latin language owes much to the Greek alphabet.

[Sixx28]

Calling the Greeks "Latin" however is a horribly inaccurate statement

[chanceryals1]

@mitsuomi2 but they no longer speak latin its a dead language but they r still latin

[becherak]

Achilles isnt roman:) epic fail

[zekal10]

Good job, Lonz. Excellent video. Also, pay no attention to the idiot assholes on here who leave negative comments. They're just jealous :-)

[TheZeus610]

hay auwoodstock shut the fuck up and go fuck your mother and if you dont have mother then go fuck your sisster you son of the bitch

[AuWoodStock]

I think the worst historical movie i've ever seen is Troy, and Gladiator goes to the second place. They both are Holywood crap... change any of their characters for a (say) Fast and Furious or Spiderman and you'll find a perfect match. Super production and little-star hiring is all they can bluff about.

[Lonz413]

Get outta town. Gladiator's score is utterly impeccable and I still have yet to see Russel Crowe or Joaquin Phoenix pull off a better performance. Troy's not the greatest but its definitely not Hollywood crap. The casting was perfect I thought, that and Achilles is an utter badass. Regardless of the fact that he's played by Brad Pitt.

[AuWoodStock]

Gladiator's score is utterly predictable, you'd say. As well as (almost) all other Hollyshit production, despite the exorbitant budgets and the well-known, nice-faced disposable stars (as Pitt) they hire.

[psypsynos]

@Lonz413 listen kid, go eat some cake or something... if u truly knew about history you would be disgust at those movies. Go watch some superman or that other crap

[typhoonginopilot]

achielles was a latin hero?

[Lonz413]

thanks for the corrections guys.

[Sylar000000]

This is sweet! But you know their not accurate right? But still bad ass. What did you get for a grade???

[Lonz413]

I got a 95.

[Lonz413]

And yeah, I know they're not accurate. My teacher corrected me in class but he said it was very well made.

[phovosgreek]

@Lonz413 Achilles was greek ! fail.....! Try to read some books! Then watch Hollywood films.

[Solid94Snake]

They're greeks

[Nichan1994]

what is the name of this song?

[0xxGrandMasterxx0]

carmina burana

[MSc0tt90]

dude this movie is so damn epic!

[Lonz413]

Its "O Fortuna" by Mozart

[FireflyAlpha01]

I'd love to know the name of this specific song. If anyone knows it, please tell me :)

[FireflyAlpha01]

Oh - the one I'm talking about is the first one in the video :)

[IzzyBunneh]

a hero to one person is always a villain to another

anyway, is there a name for this kind of epic music? you know epic and just huge vocals, usually sung in latin or something :o

[rishasfabulous]

[nazzy19c]

Achilles is not a Roman Hero...he's a Greek

[HispanicsRNotSpanish]
