Then alexios was hired by both armies to win battles for them

Crazy how Greece was considered a world of its own at one time. Such a small country in the big picture of the world 🌍 so much established

There is a new-ish mode for AC Odyssey called "Discovery" and it is just one huge history lesson. Definitely worth checking imo.I missed out on so much on my initial playthrough , you can appreciate so much more about the game with it.

The greeks were notorious for their infighting. Internal conflicts and civil wars up until moden times. Fortunatly Athens was spared the fate of being burned to the ground and its citizens enslaved when they lost the war. The Spartan King refused several demands to do so (which was common) from allied city states. History would have looked very different if the greek city states would have learned to work together.

This is how Xenophon, an Athenian historian and pupil of Socrates, describes the moments when the news of the devastating defeat at Aigos Rivers (i.e. the final naval battle described in the video) reached Athens: "...a sound of wailing ran from Piraeus through the long walls to the city, one man passing on the news to another; and during that night no one slept, all mourning, not for the lost alone, but far more for their own selves".

Last history video I promise then I'll start studying.

In time for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

I'm currently playing out the Peloponnesian war right now in Assassin's Creed Odyssey

When I play Rome total war I always play as the Greek city states and always conquer every battlefield using the Phalanx formation

This was amazing fun! Yo, EPIC! THANK YOU! I look forward to your next cinematic display! Awesome!

this was amazing, loved it! eager for the next!

Thoroughly enjoyed this from beginning to end. Keep up the good work :)

One of my favorite historic moments. Thank You.

Just came to check whether the Plague in Assassin's creed Odyssey ~ happened coz of my decision errors lol to my surprise ~ It was history who did it XD _Damn tht Phoibe scene hit me hard_ Malaka

Lastly I've been really into Greek mythology and I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL😍😍😍

“For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” ― Thucydides The History of the Peloponnesian War Melian Dialogue

I like how you used shots from the old 300 movie. Rather entertaining and fairly historically accurate.

Well done. Nice work mate.

The artwork looks amazing

Thanks assassin's Creed I feel a need to study up on some real Greek history

This is the best way to start my day!!

Easy on the ads dam

I wasn’t really interested in this stuff then I played AC Odyssey and now I’m so addicted to watching these

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

Very well done!

Great video! It got me hooked

Loved this vid, totally engrossing to watch

A pretty accurate account of what happened! My suggestion is more emphasis should had been given to the three naval battles won by the Athenians after Alkiviades came back to Athens. Another suggestion would be to pronounce the Greek names properly because the English pronunciation is confusing. A Greek native speaker could be very helpfull!

U helped me so much on my ss project thanks

Dam Spartans. Destroyed Greek hegemony. If only those blithering Athenians had not gone to Italy..

Hey I loved the video thank you so much I wanted to ask you for a favor could you send me the links of were you got these incredible artworks of war please thank you

It’s kinda sad that this was the end of Sparta as they went into decline after

I really enjoyed the video. By any chance is it possible that I could get the links to your information? I'm working on a research paper pertaining to the War. Thank you again for the great video.

Love these vids

I remember one story where Sparta asked for help. Athens sent 4,000 troops to help. When the athenians arrived, the spartans told them to go home. I think that is one of the ultimate insult... @_@

Very awesome video! Loved the detail and the pictures that went along with the stories! The only suggestion I was have is to leave out the chapter changes, they happened kind of abruptly. Overall, still a very very awesome video and definitely worth a subscribe!

Another amazing video from See you in History! I actually recently uploaded my own summary video of the Athens vs Sparta conflict causes in 4 minutes if anyone wants the spark notes version haha!

Where did you get these fantastic images for this vid?

I love your videos

Great summary - would be greatly improved if you noted years of events throughout

Why it's said mythology? that war happen and we have evidence... But nice video

Superb documentary.

In 394 BC with the Persian naval victory over the Spartan (allied to Egypt) fleet at Cnidius permitted setting up a fortified base at Kythera off the Peloponnesus and raiding the Spartan homeland at will. Thus Persia broke the Spartans ending the Peloponnesian War with a Persian victory and control of the Aegean.

Incredibly ironic that Perisa helped Sparta to win a war.

Hey how you doing keep the good job up I will wondering can you send me the name of the clips of movies that you use on this video they look very interesting and I would like to know what are they for controllers see them the movies that you use for the clips of this video I will appreciate it thank you thank you

I am Greek you are doing excellent job thank u

My God. How many adverts? Ive counted 15 so far. Aint subscribing to this channel

Really interesting also very useful in my history report lol

I really hope you make a video of the Viking invasions during the time of Alfred the great. Because of Assassin’s creed Valhalla, when it’s released this year.

İ do admire this video , i have read peleponnessian war history book from thukydides and this video is very true :)

What movie is that with the stills you used for Pericles in the beginning?

I'm Greek and I loved this video! Your channel is awesome!

Was gonna subscribe but an add kept coming up when I hit the button.

I like the last of the Mohicans film score in the background

So Sparta won on land and Athens on sea until italy

will there be any story/movie after the Peloponnesian War?

Will you do the hx of Iberia and the Mediterranean peninsula

The spartan soldiers where the strongest soldiers of thier time anthens may defeat sparta at sea and wealth but not whit thier training thier skil thier hoplites and war was sparta s specialeti

My studies of university are on Greek era history now. Specially the Greek states. I need recommendations. Pls anyone! Mostly I’m hoping about the books

Is there a list of music used for this video?

Watching this for class .....

Well Spartans end up being better at military technique and even diplomacy,I mean it takes a man to go to immortal Persians and call for aid.It shows the Spartans were not the absolute military regime with no working brain,they were defeated by Persians in past and they did also defeat Persians but still they have the RESPECT and HONOR for their Persian counterparts.Sparta recognize them as the Brave men just like them, and I am pretty sure Persians took advantage of the situation and were ready to make moves in Asia minor and annihilate the greek colonies but the sparta knows,they will win instead they turn them against the Athens.

He almost sounds like George Takei.....

See you in History / Mythology - I really like your content but glancing the timeframe of the video puts me off as I'm unable to keep up throughout . Is it possible for you to consider splitting the cake into chunks . As in four 6-minute video compartments instead of one long stretch.

I can't hear you over the music.

I turned my bass down all the way and could still barely hear since youre trying so hard to deepen your voice

Can someone please help with the English subtitles ( for every video)as there are alot of mistakes committed by the autotranslater

Historic truth shatters the illusion of sparta saving the democratic west, they constantly fought against democracy. By the way, several thousand thespians fought alongside the meagre 300 spartans at Thermopolay. Have you read Thucydides on the pelopo war?

13:50 ~ When the Spartans move back the same way.

6:06 Pericles from Civilization VI!

What's the name of the song track in 26:20?

It is because I need help on a project about Greek wars and I would like to use the website were do you get your beautiful artworks from

8:04 repeat that again

This is epic

Hard to imagine a civilization that didn't have electricity or an engine.

9:38 what's battle of pay and edominay? I don't know the correct spelling

The grain for Athens did not come from Egypt but largely from the lands bordering the Black Sea.

you should do an introduction. You get that little intro... wind going on then BOOM.

That is hard to fight almost yue same country men with the same skill to fight with the sword and shield and spears.. I can only image how the fight would be a phearlous fight ehh..

5:57 turn on closed caption

This is a lovely public resource, thank you for making it! However, as a classicist myself, your pronunciations make me go absolutely feral.

14:23 you shamed Sparta.

Ah yes, General Bursitis. He was quite a pain.

love your videos but waaaaaay too much ads...cant truly enjoy it the way it's meant to be. Great video just try to keep ads to a minimum

To the ikariam game you have hellenic hoplites to fight against hellenic hoplites..

This is madness!!! ...

What movie is that senator from?

Hopefully aced my exam today, thanks! 🤞

Tanagra, you say... TEMBA HIS ARMS WIDE

i just saw an youtube channel that looked exactly the same, with a video just like this one, but in portuguese... does the guy owns both of them? or the brazillian one is just copying directly from this???

Why a picture of diocletians palace? Out of accuracy. Its in split croatia. Not greece. Btw its roman. Nor spartan athenean.....yet. spalatum a greak city later on named salona. Is indeed local. Still inacurrate

Athens... ya'll got some grapefruits! I'm impressed.

At 9:45 - Does anyone know what game this image is from?

Athen won almost every battle except one really important one and with it the war. I studied this topic for 1,5 years in the university and I love it that AC Odysee puts it in tvhe spotlight. But they should rather talk about the time before. The dualism almost like the situation between the US and the Sovjets

Your pictures are from old movie about Thermopylae 300 Spartans.

loud annoying music in the video is so annoying..WHY CANT PEOPLE MAKE THESE WITHOUT BACKGROUND MUSIC?

In Athens you could not go to war or a battle or an expedition if you didn't convince the people. Different from USA today or Rome.

What movie is being ripped off in the stills for this video? I'd love to see a super old movie about this war.

AC Odyssey really did do a great job telling the story of the war

This video is one of the best clips about ancient history, I've seen on KZfaq. It's informative, historically correct, for the most part and free of Euro and Negro centric babble. Thank you, excellent entertainment ! I find Greek history fascinating, and there was no greater world influence than the City State of Athens. It's no secret that the Athenians had an influential presence in antiquity. Their many artistic, economical and educational contributions to early and advanced civilizations are renound to date. However, it's interesting to note that Ancient Greece was an assembly of City States. This in no way, in my opinion, takes away any such credibility in respect to their individual ideologies. On the other hand, when I think of Sparta, I'm reminded of their great military might. Thus, giving the city state of Sparta a fierce military reputation, renound throughout the ancient world. It comes as no surprise, that the congenial Athenians would "bump heads" with the rugged might of the Spartans. Afterall, history has documented proof of territorial, economic and cultural differences between the ancient Greek city states. When I first read of the Pelopenisian Wars, I was not surprised to discover why the Greek city states would not unite, in the early days of their cultural evolutions. Similar to the differences of modern countries, it's interesting to know that cultural and political differences, just to name a few examples, originated in antiquity. I suppose, it was a matter of time before these to ancient superpower's had their share of conflicts of interests. From cultural and sociological perspectives, I can understand why these two leading Greek city states, with their ideological differences, would lead to conflict and ultimately, end in war. As great thinkers and a very ingenious people , the Athenians would put some of their most ingenious thinking, to the test against the military ruggedness of the Spartan war machine. Initially, the Athenian campaign broke the Spartans 'chops", so to speak, by utilizing complex wit and strategic military maneuvers , completely unknown to the Spartan General's. Yet, in the end, Sparta would prevail, confirming their rugged reputation. Ultimately, Athens would submit, temporarily, to The Pelopenisian campaign, with Sparta in the lead. In conclusion, after biding their time, the Athenian campaign launched a final attempt to regain their military advantage within the Mediterranean region. What I find outstanding, and certainly some of the most clever thinking on behalf of the Athenians, is when they turned their attention on the busy port city of Syracusa. It's this type of advanced tactical thinking, that sheds light upon the unique thinking capacity of the Athenians. If successful in conquering Saracusa, Athens could strengthen their foothold on a major port city outside of the continent of ancient Greece. Actually, this was a brilliant plan. The ability to think "outside the box", in the face of some major defeats on behalf of the Athenians simple speaks to their higher level of cognitive abilities, adding further notoriety to the Athenians intellectual capacity, collectively. Hypothetically , if Athens could secure Syracusa, from this vantage point, they could hypothetically ,secure other surrounding port cities in the Mediterranean region. motivated to rule the Mediterranean trading routes, in an attempt to prevail and recoup their military reputation, along with their plans for financial and economic expansion through controlling all the major trading routes in the Mediterranean, the Athenian campaign could potentially win the war against Sparta. Once again, the phrase, "to smart for your own good" proves true. Unfortunately, The Athenians, with their combined cognitive wit and further support from her allies , was defeated in Syracusa, Sicily. Again, we acknowledge the military might of the Spartans and this victory over Athens solidifies Spartan culture as a popular military driven culture. AHHHHWOOOO!!!
