Ancient Greek Music and Images MELOS APXAION

[WolfgangMozart333]

Greece is a beauty country ,thanks ancient greece for coming to Spain in antiquity

[kalliroi1000]

τόσο γαλήνια μελωδία,με ηρεμή αφάνταστα :) αχχχ ρε πατρίδα τι γέννησες πάλι!!!!!!!

[khaenos]

BTW ancient greek music is very beautiful, I have some pieces of this wonderful music, and love it. Despite it's not ancient-ancient, but it's been played with the same ancient intruments the ancestors of the actual greeks used. I especially love the ethnics found in groups like Daemonia nimphe and Petros Tabouris. Modern Greek Laika music has very different elements and some of the songs of this genre sound more turk oriental that genuine greek. I personally prefer ancient greek over Laika.

@nequillim you sir/maam, have no soul

[PTR131]

Life in the ancient world must have been great. Nothing like watching a public execution with your pregnant 12-year-old bride.

[altyair]

Thank you!

[MrPontiusPilate]

PS Music and images on the video are great. So much better than all the other crap on youtube. It's funny that we attack eachother because it seems like are interests are exact and we would probably get along well. You stupid ignorant aussie wanker.

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate you give up too easy......next time you call me a stupid ignorant oz w....kr, say it with affection.

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

That's about as affectionate as I get so consider yourself privileged. Is it true that all Aussies(minus the aborigines) are descendents of debtors and crooks? :( And is it true that all males are gay in the southern hemisphere because of the laws of gravity?

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate We in Australia, are the 'ass end of the world !' But you are a tight ass-not worthy of penetration. Not all Ozzy's are decendent from convicts, most are post world war migrants who aren't even conected to it! We refer to Aborigines as the 'First Australians', not all Ozzy males are gay, but our women identify with our femine side. Thats why we are so irresistable overseas and many american women fly to OZ to sleep with real men !

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

Is it true that all Australians are as tough as Crocodile Dundee?

PS Do the native Austalians consider the term aborigine an insult and they don't like that term used. Just wondering.

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate Australians prove themselves in theatres of war, not wrestling with wildlife. Aboriginal is a term they are comfortable with, no problems there. For Thucydides in his history of the Peloponnesian War, describes the native inhabitants of Sicily as "Aborigines", because they lived in trees like monkeys. It's all there in his book, while describing the Greek Colonization of Italy from 800 B.C. 650 B.C.

[MrPontiusPilate]

I hope you weren't the guy who did reenactments because you come across like a real pussy that needs armor to cover a small.....how do you brits and aussies say...wanker. Is that the right word? lol bitch

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate Typical American youth, Armchair General !!!!!!! I'm glad your arck'd up now, Tosser! Remember, you threw the first stone "MALAKA !" Go back to your little self indulgent world, you only impress yourself and no-other. There are many who would critize you for your mediaeval pulpit like surmons on youtube. If you've got nothing good to say , then shut-up. RAIN ON YOUR PARADE ARMCHAIR GENERAL!

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

Perfect

I give you facts and you answer with insults. We both know why that is. I'm not worried about the armchair general comment considering it's coming from an adult that dresses up in a fake Greek costume. You're too easy.

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

God you are dumb aren't you? The term 'armchair general' actually has a meaning and you obviously don't know what it is. Are dictionaries forbidden in the land down under?

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate Unfortunately your the idiot who thinks that others value your expertise! Who cares what facts you bring on Youtube !!!! The first insult was your 2 cent worth comments on here, thats what I'm trying tell you. Who gives a crap what your input is here ! You can go on and on like this and proves one thing, you took the bait and couldn't help yourself. You prove nothing, you just rant and rave like the a bored american brat who thinks he's Gods gift and needs attention. screw u

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

I see I have you frazzled. This pleases me greatly. :)

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate NO, I thankyou ! You don't frazzle me at all, but you please me most of all ! For everytime you jump on here, this video gets more hits !!!!!!!! Thankyou for doing this, it makes my day and I can go to sleep knowing I sucked another idiot into the web ! MUHUUHWAHAHHAHAAAHAAA...

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

Are you honestly still crying?

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate I'm crying with laughter ! Keep posting, it's a scream, hey I'll tell my friends about you and we'll have some fun, hey?

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

Do the other guys that you play dress up with whine as easily as you do? :)

[MrPontiusPilate]

God these people are idiots. You dumbasses would be the ones that worked the soil for an overlord your whole 30-40 year life only to live in poverty the entire time. If you didn't die of starvation or sickness then you might be slaughtered on the battlefield so your ruler could stay rich or subjected to slavery by another invading ruler. Glorifying this time period is like glorifying WWI. dumb fucking people read an actual book and stop getting your information from the Internet.

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@MrPontiusPilate What do you know ? Your a 27 year old from the USA who thinks the whole world should think like you ! Your the DUMBASS ! Tosser ! If you care to think that in the Dark ages / Mediaeval period life was far more unappealing. Living your life as a surf to a feudal lord who could hang you at a whim. Give me Ancient Greece and Rome any day ! Your ideas of Nazism is flaud too, obviously you hate Greeks and that explains your ignorance and everyone should wash theirs hands of 'YOU!'

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

I never mentioned the Dark Ages so I'm unsure why you brought that up. I'm glad you did because Dark Age and Medieval Europe is a perfect comparison to ancient Rome and Greece. During both eras powerless peasants worked the estates of noble lords who could "hang them on a whim". So you just sunk your own argument.

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

It's spelled flawed you nitwit. Read a book. Read Thucyides history of the Peloponnesian War and you will see how the Greek and Roman aristocrats and war chiefs treated regular people like expendable pawns in their conquests. Justr like...... oh shit the Nazi's you dumbass. Read Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, read the Iliad, read Caesar's account of his conquests. How do you think Rome and the Greek city states gow their empires. Conquest idiot.

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON I love reading about the history of ancient Greece and Rome. That is my one hobby. There has never been a more interesting time period. What I don't like though is that people admire the good aspects of the cultures and completely disregard the other 95% of it which was brutal tough and nasty. Not everyone was a philosopher or a great military leader. You are another person that thinks life was romantic then and so you mythologize and completey disrespect history.

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON

So you fucking twat, before you open your mouth again and let the garbage out, read a book by someone that actually lived during the era and don't get your information from the Internet or television shows targeted towards teenagers.

Flawed you idiot flawed

[garou119]

Beautiful!

I'd like to listen to more of these!

[MacedonianBandit]

Ancient Greek were homosexuals!

[yeosei5533]

@MacedonianBandit no.dont complex them with your father

[ElisaYoungJohn]

love the music!

[PoseidonGRE]

συνέχισε την καλή δουλειά σου φίλε μου!

[Elinitsam]

If it were possible I would live in this ancient period, in a culture that actually had some meaning and beauty. Today's common world has become a spiritual and cultural wasteland! The more technology develops and is seen the less spirituality we have. As I see it technology interferes and destroys the beauty of nature. It pollutes our souls.

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

If everyone thought and acted like Greeks, what a wonderful world it would be! Thankyou for your comments.....

[priMMoz]

great music tho

[ElisaYoungJohn]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st I'd love to be an early pensioner. Indeed, why do others not think as the Greek do? :) :P

[bvs7]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st like ancient greek...

[MrPontiusPilate]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st

If everyone thought and acted like the ancient greeks we would be in a constant state of war with entire regions completely depopulated or impoverished and without any public safety net to help. You obviously don't know what you're talking about and have no knowledge of the ancient history of greece. The rulers of the ancient greek cities had the equivalent moral codes of the Nazi's. You're ignorant on the subject so read a book.

[khaenos]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st Yes, and if everyone thought and acted like greeks, the entire world would be in bankrupcy, LOL. Have a nice day!

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON]

@khaenos GFC aside, Greece isn't the only country suffering !!!!!!!!! Just look at Mexico.....Drugs, guns, executions and moneylaundering and you think Greece is worse ? Your a soft cock.......

[khaenos]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON Hi there, it was a sick joke man!! I know no country would want a situation that yours is going through such as banrupcy. But i'm not trying to say that Greece is worst than Mexico, no way. Neither one is best or worst. Remember that a country is defined through its people, not its government. Greece is known for its hospitality and the quality of its people, the same as Mexico. Both countries have that thing in common.

[SaintISinner]

@ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st

If everyone thought and acted like Greeks, then the whole world would be in a much deeper mess than right now. There's not enough money to bail out everyone you know. XD

[MiracleKD18]

@Elinitsam

Blame capitalism, not technology.

For example, Internet is a wonderfull thing to have: without it we couldn't listen to this music which is uploaded in Youtube.

It's capitalism and globalization which ruins everything. And the Americans and the Jews. If Adolf Hitler finished his job, then culture would mean much more to people now.

[Elinitsam]

@MiracleKD18 Capitalism isn't the problem, but rather lack of business ethics specified in the Holy Scriptures, lack of morals, societal apathy and lawlessness. Given society's ignorance and lack of bravery, the whole world pays an enormous price, which is slavery. Jews are a big problem though since they run most of banking, media, journalism, education, politics, technology, etc. Since they're mostly amoral, they use their talents for the wrong purposes usually. Jews need enlightenment.

[MiracleKD18]

@Elinitsam

Yes indeed.

But if we kill all the jews off- wouldn't it be a bit of cruel?

I mean.... I guess it's the only solution to the problem, so we must put an end to the jewish reign of terror for once and for all - at all costs.

[Elinitsam]

@MiracleKD18 Life is sacred. We can't just kill at random. The Jews though need to be kept in check at all times though. They are never to be trusted. Jews want power and when they want power THEY TAKE IT ALL and for THEMSELVES ONLY!

[MiracleKD18]

@Elinitsam

Yep. You are totally right in everything.

It's call for action.

Jewish terrorists, muslim radicals and corrupt americans are trying to destroy our beautiful European culture and history.

All those European countries have more than a hundred years old cultrue, while the shitty usa has no past and no history. And it's the main headquarters of the jews.

[Elinitsam]

@MiracleKD18 Adolf Hitler you should know was put in power and taken out of power by the Jewish Zionists in banking. Like all dictators and crime organizations they're put into and taken out of power based on the needs of the banking sector at the moment. Adolf Hitler was simply used by the Zionists to accomplish their objectives to gain more power and wealth. A web site that would be of benefit to you is called Real Zionist News. Do a web search for it. Banks control us through paper currency.

[lowenklee]

@Elinitsam

All you're doing is uttering the popular sentiment of the many classical Greek thinkers..."oh remember those good ole days of centuries past." Every age has it's critics and sentimentalists yearning for golden past.

[MrPontiusPilate]

@Elinitsam

Are you stupid? Maybe now we do live in a cultural wasteland. It's better than living in ancient Greece which was an actual wasteland. The city states were in a constant state of war for about a thousand years. Stop romanticizing the past just because it's gone. It makes you sound like an idiot.

[newfagscanttrif0rce]

@Elinitsam

Nonsense. Go live in Ethipoia if you hate technology so much and get off youtube. Fool.

[blackmichael75]

@Elinitsam I agree, but a major drawback that the ancient world has was that the whole thing was based on slavery. Slave labour is the only reason that people had leisure to create and enjoy music and art like this. Don't forget that!

[Mazurka1001]

@Elinitsam Absolutely so!! Good post.

[eliopoulosgiannis]

@Elinitsam It depends on how we use it.

[MushroomedAnymore]

@Elinitsam Wrong! Political Correctness and a naive Immigration Policy threatens our World. I love the Muslims I've met, but most coming here are not like my friends and subscribe even if they say otherwise (Taqqiya) to Extremism. An educated and philosophical Muslim is the best kind of person you'll meet, but the average immigrant wants to destroy the Wisdom of bothe West and East for a very un-Sufi rendition of Jihad. We must defend the mental and secular freedom birthed by HELLAS!

[ibnfahlan]

this is amazing, mixture of energy and melanchony..fantastic piece of art!

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

Thankyou!

[22poopoo]

Actually, are you greek?

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

yes

[22poopoo]

OK :) I was just wandering cos of your comment "if everyone acted like Greeks" I thought it would be funny/interesting if you wern't but were just a hellenifile.

[welshpete12]

very nicely done !

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

Thankyou!

[vardandreas]

Δεν μπορει να πει κανεις με βεβαιοτητα οτι ξερει πως ακουγοταν η μουσικη στην αρχαιοτητα,αλλα πιστευω πως οι τραγουδιστες δεν πρεπει να τραγουδουσαν σαν να εχουν κλασσικη παιδεια οπως η τραγουδιστρια εδω :)

[mjay22]

It sounds kind of like Javanese (Indonesian) music to me.

[mjay22]

how come the instrumental part sounds japanese?

[Jackdoubleday1]

Why do people keep giving you the thumbs down? That's not an odd thing to say... It does have a similar reverberation. There are huge differencec, total even, but I don't think you deserve a nasty red minus...

[MaBu888]

Of course the pronunciation has changed over the past 3000 years a lot. For example , ancient Greek used to have real dipthongs, and the spelling and pronunciation were a lot more covvergent. The same in the case of Latin. Whenever a language's grammar becomes simpler over time, its pronunciation changes quite drastically so that phonology becomes more complex (Greek has more consonants than ancient Greek, but Greek grammar is much simpler than it used to be). av/af used to be au.

[MaBu888]

Efharisto used to be pronounced eukharistoo.

[ctv3]

Greek is the real language of love. also the most beautiful song i ever heard in my life.

[mjay22]

Are you sure it's Greek and that it's not Italian or French? I reckon Italian and French sound more romantic to me.

[magikalme]

This is absolutely beautiful! I come from a Greek/Italian/Spanish/Mexican background. I speak Spanish fluently and some Italian. Yet I've always wanted to learn Greek the most, but have never gotten the chance. My most distant relatives are from Greece and it'd be great to be able to speak some Greek before, if ever, I actually get to meet them.

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

Thankyou for the compliment, "Better late than never", there's always time to learn Greek! Even so, your quite multi-cultural which is an advantage these days.

[AlexGreatWarrior]

Υπέροχο και πολύ χαλαρωτικό, συγχαρητήρια!

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

EFHARISTO !

[egw19]

Μπραβο φιλλε πολυ ωραιο βιντεο.

[ANCIENTHOPLITIKON1st]

Your very welcomed Julle671, Glad you like the video! Yes the Greek language is beautiful, Roman aristocracy spoke Greek but latin was used for slaves and peasants. In America, after Independence they voted wether to use Ancient Greek or English as their official language. One voted ended it, and today English is spoken....

[Julle671]

The Greece laungage is very interesting why dont have this laungage of instead english imean greece laungage is very beutiful :) thanks for this video!

[MiracleKD18]

@Julle671

I wonder why languages like Ancient Greek, Hellenistic Greek, Ancient Latin, Classical Latin or Old (early-medieval) English are dead.

I mean, hell, they sound better that modern languages.... agreed?

[Julle671]

@MiracleKD18 Yes they did :)

[kirby28645]

@MiracleKD18 They way people have screwed up English today, yeah, I like Latin and Old English better. It just made more sense. Of course, Greek is amazing too... I was lucky to be able to take a semester of reading/writing ANCIENT Greek in high school when I was in 8th grade!

[MiracleKD18]

@kirby28645

Lucky you.

Thank god my native language - Hungarian - wasn't screwed up that much.

I can still perfectly understand a 1000 years old Old Hungarian writing. Which is prretty cool.

Yeah, I also like Latin, Old English and Ancient Greek. One day, I want to learn all 3 of them.
