Yes, you don't want to be caught looking the wrong way! Thanks man, I thought it would be interesting to make a correlation. Can't wait for your next video!

I didn't look away and got so damn stoned as a result. Or was it the other way around?

Thank you so much for your support brother! I really appreciate the feedback. There will be much more videos like this for sure!

When I was growing up, before cable tv, all I had to choose between, was the news channel and the cartoon channel. Young folk today don’t appreciate how lucky they are. : ) >

Could be. Although they did have pretty big imagination! Thanks for stepping by, really appreciate it!

A very materialistic interpretation of the stories

Lol. Lava does not turn someone to stone. It covers and consumes the body. Statues are the obvious source for this myth.

The next video continues on the Hittite conflicts in western Anatolia. I plan on expanding on the Hittites in future, but for now I'm just focused on them as related to the Achaeans and Arzawa. Thanks for the feedback bro! 💯

The name Persia comes from Perseus.

@@VerbalWarrior162 So Persians are Hellenic of origin ?

That would be cool. Save the best son of Zeus for last. Alexander was so fast his feet didn’t touch the floor, but of course he fought on his horse. I think Alexander was truly the greatest

I believe the same and I love the bronze age for this

Γοργόνες (gorgons) indeed...φόνη,not φωνή.Φόνη means murderer.Gorgons were three sisters,Gorgo,Evryali,Stheno.Gorgo is the second name of Medusa.So Gorgophone means the murderer of Medusa.God Athena helped Perseas to kill her and she takes the name Gorgophone Athena,and she wears mesusa's head to her shield

It's interesting that the story about Perseus' son Perses was known to Persians too, as Xerxes mentioned it during the negotiations with Argos. Thanks for stepping by brother.

Source?

So do you think Persians are descendants of Persis son of Perseus ?

Thanks for your feedback! You are right, it was unlikely that all of Mycenaean Greece was directly controlled by one king. I suggest you watch the first 3 videos where I went more into depth explaining the confederation and political order of Mycenaean Greece. This video is just a follow up in that regard, and doesn't give you a full picture if you want to get to know the political situation.

@@WanaxTV I have seen your firt 3 Amazing videoes. And they are perfect. But even though there might have been different conferations of citystates in Greece. Then its not unlikely that there sometimes was war inside those conferations. We know from classic times. That sometimes wars would take inside the conferations . Where two citystates would go to war over the leader ship of the conferations... So its likely that mycenaeae and Tiryns (or Argos) was at war st sometimes. And that argolid conferation sometimes were lead by mycenaeae or Tiryns. Depending on who won the war. Heck even in classic times. The citystates around Delphi would go ro war over the control of acces to Delphi. Another reason that mycenaeae was powerfull in the argolid region is trade. The trade routes from Argos and Tiryns up to corinth. The go right through Mycenaeaen controlled territory. And back then there was such thing as police and good roads . So the if trade caravan came by things of high value. The chance getting attacked abd robbed was high. So this could be a reason why the king of mycenaeae was powerfull. He could say to those trade caravans : If you give a procent of your goods in tax. Then I can offer an armed escort through my lands ... That could have the real reason for mycenaeaen power in argolid region. Also control of trade routes was something that could send citystates to war with each other....

@@madsdahlc That's a good assessment. From all my research, written records and archeological evidence, it can be said with big certainty that Argolid at the very least was controlled by Mycenae, including Tyrins and Argos. During Bronze, Argos was just a town in Argolis, with small populace not even comparable in size to classical Argos. Tyrins was a significant fortification, but only fortified towards c. 1400 BCE, which would have not been possible if there was a rival powerful city nearby. Afterwards Tyrins prospered together with Mycenae, and there is no evidence of damage except for times when Mycenae itself was damaged as well (for example Bronze age collapse). Tyrins also did not have a major royal cementry, nor did Argos, or any city nearby except for Mycenae, proving that Mycenae was undoubtedly the capital city, at least of an area of most of Peloponnese. This is also confirmed by ancient traditions which most times place kings of Mycenae to have also reigned over Argos, Tiryns, northern Peloponnese, Laconia and even Pylos. As for the rest of Mycenaean Greece, their relations towards Mycenae possibly changed at different times, considering the developed road network leading to Mycenae, and also foreign correspondence with Hittites where they clearly refer to king of 'Ahhiyawa' as an equal, "great king" and a "peer" to the Hittite kings, in general there was likely an alliance, confederation or a hegemon-vassal relation with Myecane and most of those cities, where the king of Mycenae held a special sway or at times probably hegemony over most of the other rulers. For example, letters from Muwatali II to the unnamed king of Ahhiyawa reveal that the Achaean king "installed" certain Atpa as the ruler of Miletus, and that Miletus belongs to the king of Achaea, together with the Aegean islands. It would have been impossible for the king of Achaea to hold such high status internationally, control territories across Aegean and engage in wars with Hittites and even invade Cyprus if the situation in mainland Greece was not stable and under control.

@@WanaxTV the latest understanding really goes for a one High King, the Wanax, governing the mycenaean world indirectly through the Lawagetas. The sheer uniformity throughout the mycenaean world being too much for different indipendent polities to live up to. Further more, the sheer scale of infrastructural effirts made by the mycenaeans all over the mycenaean world needed resources that just a unified polity could muster.

Sooner or later there will be a video on Theseus as well!

@@WanaxTV I am from Athens so will be very proud to see our 1st Athens unified state king video ❤️

@@herculianthegreat I'm slowly getting to that time period where Theseus was placed to had reigned. It's definitely an interesting story with a lot of material. I still have a few things to finish before moving on to Athens but I can't wait!

@@WanaxTV will there be an connection between persians, italy, and pope?

@Guyana Spice There is no connection between the Pope and Persians but I’m sure Wanax can make a fable that will connect the pope, italy, and the persians to satisfy your request.

1. He was not Pelasgian 2. Pelasgians were not Albanians

@@diomedesii9846 Oh yes he was. Pelasg is Albanian language and mean "That who born white,strong and smart one". Ar go city state was Pelasgian!!

@@guritarasi8732 Maybe in the fabricated Albanian history that the world laughs at. Pelasgians were not Albanians and Pelasgians were not Albanians. Albanian language was first attested in the 15th century. That's 3000 years after the events of this video.

@@diomedesii9846 well my friend i thing that more fabricate Greek history the whole world haven't yet.You are fake country which created from the Big mama Russia,France,England and Germany.Even more your flag is a totaly copy from Finland,Sweeden,England flags etc. Let me inform you that the descriptions which founted in Lemnos island as"Lemno's steles" confirmed that the write form is Etruscans(800-700 B.C) and they are Pelasgian trib,before Greeks came in Illyricum. Etruscan language was wrote by Pelasgian alphabet. But what kind of language it was? Of course it was Albanian. You can check in youtube :"Lingua Etrusca e' lingua Albanese" Also you can read the book : "Etruscans begine to speak" By Zacharia Mayani French writer Bye bye bye🖐🤣🖐🤣🖐🤣🖐

@@guritarasi8732 There is no Pelasgian alphabet, they didn't leave any written records and they were gone from history centuries before alphabet was even developed. They are only known from Greek mythology. In fact, nobody ever recorded the existence of Pelasgians except for Greeks in myths and legends etc. And it is sad that you have no history of your own, so you look for ancient peoples that left no evidence or records, so you can claim them as your own. That's what happens with undeveloped countries where it's so easy for government to brainwash their uneducated people. Albanians only started writing in the 15th century, they didn't record their own history and even today Albania is the least developed and civilized country in Europe.
