The ancient Greeks were great, and all the rest is humiliation before the strongest.

@suzukimethracer7796 Macedonians were another Greek tribe. It was a bit different back then. Different tribes sharing same gods, same religion & same mentality. His father Phillip when he came to Athens to convince the Athenians to follow his to the war against the Persians, didn't use a translator, Spoke Greek and came to a debate with Dimosthenes, one of the Athenian leaders. If you ever be lucky and visit Phillip's grave at Aegae, everything is writers in ancient Greek. Aristotle taught Alexander and the other young aristocrat boys using Greek language and not Japanese or some other language. If you are referring to the Slavs of North Macedonia, they arrived in the area in 580AD more than 10000 years after. Have a look to the restoration of Phillip's palace. Everything is Greek.

그리스군은 직업군인 으로서 당대 전투력이 가장 높은 최강의 군대 였습니다. 당시 중원(중국)의 군대의 전술보다 우위였고 게르만(독일)의 군대 보다 용맹 했습니다. 엄청난 군사훈련은 가혹 했습니다. 하지만 페르시아군은 징집된 농민과 노예 들이었습니다. 그리고 제국의 여러 식민지에서 강제징집된 병력들은 의사소통이 원활하지 않았습니다. 실제로 탈영자들도 속출했습니다. 군법이 가혹해서 체포되면 사형입니다. 하지만 그리스 군대는 전문집단 이라서 결코 이탈자가 없었습니다. 극동인 으로서 나는 이렇게 평가합니다. "양보다질" 페르시아제국은 키루스대왕 시절의 영광을 이미 상실 했었습니다. 페르시아의 유럽과 인도 정복은 불가능 했습니다. 사서에 의하면 중국은 당시 페르시아의 존재를 알고 있었습니다. 그런데 그 거대한 제국이 그리스에게 패전했다는 소식과 이후 멸망 당했다는 소식이 추가로 전해 졌습니다. 그리스의 용맹함은 중국을 통해서 한국까지 소식이 들려 왔습니다. 역사가 그렇습니다.

Proof that slavery dosnt do well

@ramtin5152 Ай бұрын

Greeks were practicing slavery way more than the Achaemenids The whole Greco Persian war started because Athens and Eretrians interfered in the matters of the Achaemenid empire If Darius The Great really wanted to conquer the whole Greece he wouldn't have sent only 26,000-30,000 men Conquering Greece was actually Xerxes' (his son) goal That army was there for Eretrians, Athens and some other minor cities or islands that aided the Ionians in their revolt Not only they'd interfered in the matters of his own empire but one of Darius son in laws (if I'm not mistaken) died fighting the rebels Maybe the Greeks saw it natural for them to help a fellow Greek (even though almost all of their city states were at war for centuries) but they had no right, lands or territories in Ionina both in reality and in Darius eyes Him sending an army to retaliate was a logical action not something he did out of greed

@milkmonster2310 Ай бұрын

Video title is somewhat hyperbolic. The Greeks didn't "defeat an empire" at Marathon as Alexander would do that later. Darius I was a solid general and it would have been interesting had he attempted to take all of Greece rather than his idiot son Xerxes.
