Virgil just wrote an entire literary work to specifically dunk on the guy in charge that he openly hated? Man no wonder Dante kinned him so hard
No. He wrote an entire literary work to glorify Rome's history, it present, and its legitimacy.
Hey, Ovid reinvented Medusa's origin just to vilify Athena/Minerva, so why not?!
@@alexanderSydneyOz While also making fun of Augustus. Apparently the latter didn't even notice because he insisted (along with everyone else) that the Aeneid not be destroyed as Virgil requested.
@@Sam-gx2ti I guess Virgil has the last laugh on Augustus' blindess.
Nope, Red just got that one wrong. Virgil was known to have favoured Augustus, and there is minimal evidence to suggest hostility in the poem.
Rome: *copies Greece* Also Rome: Greece is the gay
Also Rome: hey, he's cute... We should ####
Tbf Greece is pretty gay! I mean the gymnasiums and pederasty
TBF, Rome was also very much the gay.
Wendy Nerd not at this point, this poem was commissioned by Augustus who was not partially there for the the gay and actually made a load of social reforms to make Rome more modest. If I’m right they’re called the Julian laws. They were mainly about adultery and premarital sex but homosexuality was wrapped up in it
I mean, Rome and Greece is the best bromance in history.
*_The Olympus Gods have a band named “The Prophecy” and they're convincing everyone in Greece and Rome to join in and you can’t convince me otherwise_*
Username Unavailable the olympians*
That’s a pretty cool idea. I wanna join even though I’m not in Greece or Rome-
OMG! I should make animation of this.
*I'm gona make the animation first Jove give meh da strength to not burn myself out like a candle!*
They're on a mission from... themselves?
"Those healthy, sporting, and 100% heterosexual activities" I read once that in ancient Greece, they would wrestle naked. In a very heterosexual way, of course, just so that no one had any hidden weapons on them.
And then sell their sweat, intermingled from each fighter,dust and whatnot as a cure all juice.
@@SHAX516 gladiator man sweat water
greeks would also bathe in olive oil for when they were going to do sports and we know there's nothing more heterosexual than a bunch of dudes wrestling and working out completely naked and covered in oil
@@cynthreykhynnahluna Ya both Zeus and posiden would do that with there best buds roommates hero-life partners Ganymedes and pelops respectively not hades though ha wierd isn't it
Sword fighting was not allowed.
Virgil: yo can I copy your homework Homer: yeah but don’t make it too obvious Virgil: *this video*
Perfect

Berried delight
So the Aeneid is basically a Hollywood director writing a sequel to a series that didn't need one?
But it sure made a ton of bucks at the box office!
So every reboot/new entry to old franchises nowadays?
And Augustus would've been that greedy executive so eager to milk out the established property. Classic.
@@SGRev1 Well the Aeneid was basically state propaganda.
Still better than making a living by retelling those stories and sequels in a shorter 10 minutes version, instead of writing your own stuff... And I would say Hollywood directors are copying the aeneid, not the other way around.. Also for your information, this story is not repetitive or copying the first ones, Virgil did a very concious effort for portraying how history repeats itself in a endless cicle of war, he actually wrote about this.
I love how every time the “ prophecy” is mentioned the music slowly become classier and classier

@@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595 Of course, Dionysius is Osiris. Synchrony.
And it's orchestral with my boy, Hermes!
Something hilarious to add about Aeneas is that at one point during the Iliad, Apollo dupes him into 1v1ing _Achilles_ under the logic that since Achilles is stomping the Trojans so bad because he's under his mother Thetis's protection, and since Aeneas's mother, Aphrodite, outranks Thetis in power, Aeneas should be able to beat Achilles handily. Aeneas challenges Achilles, and Achilles, naturally, stomps his shit in.
Juno: Hey Venus, you wanna play match maker with your favorite son? Venus: ... you know, it’s funny. I know you’re playing me... and I do.
Is that a DBZ Abridged reference?
Alex Mills indeed it was.

Venus also messes with Aeneas earlier in the text, pretending to appear as Diana (Artemis (Also a name on the list for if I ever have a daughter)) to her son.
ah dbz abridged reference... a person of culture i see
Came for the Legend, stayed for... *The Prophecy*. *ROCK GUITAR RIFF*

@@jasonmartin4775 I read them to. Infact, once my mom came to me and said: "Eli, would you give me that Magnus, Magnum. That books, I have nothing to read." And I internaly freaked out, I wasn't ready to meet her with Alex and Fierrochase, even if she doesn't have nothing against the LGBTQ community. So I told her that we have only the third book, wich is true, and I gave her the full KC colection. Now I am looking forward and soon I will give her MC, when I get the first two books.

@@BunnyOnASnuman You mean when Zeus impregnated Danae, who would give birth to Perseus? Or did the Romans have a different myth where the same thing happened?
@@yeshd.p5125 No no no you're right but hot in this case is very literal
Also, this is basically Virgil's equivalent of not wanting to do the book report so he just copied the smartest kid in class lol
Still better than spending your entire life talking about people like Virgil, instead of doing things or writing your own stuff...
Omg OMG That exactly what just happened
I guess, but does it all really matter. I mean they are classics, but really it wouldn’t affect you ongoing life by opposing one over the other. You can’t change what happened, so don’t worry or complain about it. Focus on what you are gonna do to change the world. Just please don’t write another copy of the Odyssey because it is getting old.

DANGIT LOGAN (No one gets my references)
"Dad and/or nephew" and "daughter and/or Aunty" Greek Pantheon relations in a nutshell.
More like Greek+Roman Pantheon relations. Sure the Greeks were inconsistent with the Pantheon, but add to it the Romanization of the gods...good luck.
MrMikado282 It just gets too muddled
No, it's more like Aphrodite is the child of Uranus (Zeus's grandfather) but was adopted by Zeus (due to being younger).
Sam Lucas there's no Greek canon, so it's up to your opinion what parents of [Insert Greek character] myth you like most
I only know the version where Kronos throws Uranos' balls into the sea and out of the foam Aphrodite was like sup bros
The Trojans didn't actually find the horse and just say "Seems Legit", a priest named Laocoon saw it and immediately thought what we all did and said that it was clearly a trap. To prove it he stabbed the horse several times with a spear narrowly missing one of the Greeks inside. The next night two snakes swam in from the sea and fucking murdered him and his two sons before slithering off to the temple of Athena and since snakes are symbols of Athena the trojans were like holy shit this is a monument to Athena and took it inside the city. Athena however favored the Greeks because of the whole golden apple thing and so, she sent the snakes to convince the Trojans that the horse was legit.
She also likely preferred the Greeks because Odysseus was a Greek and Athena was his patron god. Its also my personal headcanon that Athena gave him the idea for the horse, and that's another reason why its a monument to Athena
He's the one who said: "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes," a.k.a. "I fear the Greeks, even when they bear gifts."

She actually did include that part in Trojan war video

Virgil doing the thumbs-up with one hand but flipping off Augustus with the other is a pretty good summary of how I treat most authority figures who aren't my parents.

Virgil: Hey can I copy your homework Homer: Fine just change a few things so it’s not too obvious Virgil: Ok *Makes* *Aeneid* Homer: I said *don’t* make it obvious

So, wait, pizza is involved in the founding of Rome according to Virgil? What?
Seems legit. Pizza is a divine food.
Devil May Cry has a new level of relevance and badass.
This is the weirdest Sanders Sides video ever
yes. The Trojans eating pizza the moment they land in Italy is an integral part of... *T H E P R O P H E CY*
They were cursed not to find italy until they were so hungry "to even eat the dishes your (meager) food will be served in!". They didn't have any dishes, so they just cook flour and water as dishes. Basically, pizza. When they realized so, the propecy was fulfilled.

**Rome ship passes** -Artemis- Diana
11:41 the epic actually ends on that line. Either Virgil hadn’t decided what was the best way to end it, or he HATED Augustus that much
Didn't he die before ending it properly?
That's awesome tho for some reason
Fun fact: “bread/table/plate things” is actually very accurate, because in the past, old dried flatbread was used as plates. It was usually thrown away but sometimes thrown to peasants.
I'm sure it was done sometimes, but I have trouble imagining it was terribly widespread (particularly the "throw away bread" part.). The wealth level where you're rich enough to let bread go stale, but too poor to own permanent plates, if pretty narrow.
This is also turn of tart crusts. Before things like sugar and leavening were introduced to Western Europe, the crust was just a container for the fruit filling (which is why it was the width of a human mouth and spoon-shaped) and was thrown away after the fruit was eaten.
Tasting History with Max Miller has a great episode on the “trencher”!
@@andrewjohnson6716 That makes sense in reference to pizza bit, as pizza is actually the Italian word for pie. Edit: Okay, there are some sources saying that pizza isn't actually Italian for pie and that the popular belief that it is came about after Italian-American immigrants introduced pizza to the USA as basically a type of "tomato" pie, hence where we get the term "pizza pie", leading to the idea that pizza is Italian for pie. The Italian word "torta" is used to refer to both pies and cakes. It's like the misconception that "sombrero" is Spanish for "hat" when it really refers to a specific type of hat, one with a wide brim. The Spanish word for "cap" is "gorro".
I feel like thats cheating. That's even worse than the forest prophecy in Macbeth,, its cheating!!

Don't you mean...THE PROPHECY?! *loud guitar solo ensues
NJAY8/16/08 your poor violated ears
The Prophecy is said eight times!!!
The fact that Cassandra keeps popping up in the background of these is so great.
You know, something I realized is that the hero could of just taken his wife with him but nah, the writer decided that there needed to be drama, also fits with what normally happens when Venus plays match maker
Well Creusa got lost in the havoc which is something totally realistic if you consider the situation in which they were. It's not like Aeneas could easely turn around to check on her every step of the way since he had to carry his father on his shoulders. And Ascanius was just a baby, he was probably scared enough not to notice his mum was no longer behind him
How dare nobody notice the brilliant Dionysus and his kazoo. Dionysus needs more a w a re ne ss .

One thing I really appreciate about the percy Jackson series are the parallels to the greek and roman myths. At first I was kind of annoyed at how easily manipulated the monsters were but then I remembered they were that easy to trick in the old storys and it was being faithful to its source and I actually really liked it after I realized that
4:00 Also important to note is that Athena is also mythologically associated with horses. She is credited with teaching humanity how to tame the horse, as well as inventing both the bridle and the chariot. For this, she was even referred to as “Athena Hippia,” translated as “Athena of the Horses.” I just felt that you missed out on the most important detail that associates Athena with horses.
Has anyone ever heard about the time that Virgil's house and property almost got taken away from him, so he had a funeral for a housefly and kept his home? It's hilarious, ingenious, and makes Virgil even more likable.

@@lupus2079 You calling the author who wrote Roman fanfiction a liar?
@@samuraipanda85 no. I call him uninformed.
My only guess for why it's "Hermes" and not "Mercurius" is that Hermes only takes up two syllables and Dactyllic Hexameter (the meter Aeneid is written in) is kinda strict. Mercurius would take up way too many syllables.
I have laughed at “The Prophecy” more times than I have watching some legit blockbuster comedy movies
"So while the men are engaging in those healthy, sporting and 100% heterosexual activities..." LMAO
It ain't gay if they say no homo. XD
Like the good old days
I love the musical symbology of the musical stings when The Prophecy is mentioned- when Zeus plays, it's a simple one-note power chord. When it's Apollo- the first god of music- it's a quick little riff that requires a modicum of technical skill. And then Hermes, who took over the role of music god from Apollo, gets a full-on orchestra. :)
And Apollo's is a take on the "Excellent" bit from Bill and Ted
And Dionysus gets a party horn
Also Zeus uses an ELECTRIC Guitar... because Storm god.
Late to the party but Hades plays the hard chord with blue fire because Death Metal

Wait, if Dido killed herself, and Dante was such a fanboy of Virgil and his work, why is Dido in The Inferno in the Lust Section of hell and not in the suicide forest? Because her reason was love/lust..?
He took pity on her and put her higher up. Dante forgives the sins of love.
Good point. At least when the sins are of heteroromantic/-sexual nature... Or Minos is a sexist clotpole.
MissAppolonia because as well she was kinda lusty, like the whole rebuilding of Carthage stopped because her and Aeneas were getting it on. All she could go on about was her attraction for Aeneas. She also got hit by cupids arrow stick hard because Venus wanted her to lust after Aeneas so she would gift good guest friendship and not attack him

Itty Tendo while I agree Bacchus (guessing we’re suppose to call Them by their Romain names) was fantastic, Pluto (or whatever the official name is because apparently he had 3 Latin-origin names) gets more points of comedy from me for going through the effort of taking his helmet off then casually putting it back on afterward
i learned more from this video than i did from studying the aeneid for almost a month in english. so thank you.
hyacinthoide you should check out "the history of the world I guess" it's amazing
!the history of the wolrd i guess is one of the best videosi have ever watched !
How does that even work? Not to be rude but where you even studying or maybe what I'm trying to say is you should have learned something in that month...
Sir Knight Different people tend to learn differently. The OP may have not learned much at English due to a lack of active engagement in the text, or found it incredibly boring. Trust me, history or English aren't the most fun of subjects. The video, however, uses to the point summaries, coupled with fun little gimmicks and a pleasing storyline to make the tales memorable! :D
I can understand that but I guess I was kind of confused by them saying they studied it for a month. I love history but for ELA I mainly read informational text, I have read older stuff like The Elements, Herodotus' The Histories, some of the Bible, and a little bit of the Odyssey(which I liked) and I thought they were fine. They were Goodreads if you had a book guide that gave you historical background to them and stuff like that. I enjoyed reading those guides as well because I like learning about historical stuff like time period slang that makes certain wordplay work and references that a person from the time-period would probably get but that are obscure to us.
"This joke was deemed illogical but necessary." Best written line in the whole damn thing.
Woooo! I finally finished the Aeneid today after trudging through it little by little for the past four years. I had saved this video as my completion reward, and it didn't disappoint! Also, I finally know where the prophecy meme comes from!!! I was so expecting you to mention more of book IX more, though. I was hysterical the entire time reading it. But, it's a summary.

@@user-qb6hm8qw2n I meant no offense - plus, Red actually likes the books as far as I know? It's just a throw away line. I mean - I also really like them. But, like, you don't have to love every little piece of something to be able to enjoy it, you know? Of course they aren't stupid, just a bit... Uh.... Hard to follow sometimes if you have a bad memory for names, you know?
And people who learn Vergil in my class did not know was that the Aeneid was never completed. Literally ended in the middle a scene. The last book is name “The Sword decides all”
Main takeaway from this video: Hades is an adorable dork
I'm in college right now trying to read the Aeneid and this 100% more helpful than actually reading the Aeneid over and over again, so thanks a crap ton.
I haven't actually read the Aeneid yet, why do you hate it so much?
Sir Knight do read it though, and get yourself caught up with Roman history until Augustus. It's undeniably a masterpiece and I'd love to explain why with some examples but that would make a long comment... But I'm willing to defend the work against these 2 Huns 😜
good god, if the Aenid is a fan fiction then the divine comedy is a self-insertion fan fiction of a fan fiction of Greek mythology fan-fic-ception
blue-eyed fangirl 😂 The ultimate fan-fic-ception
so the Divine Comedy is a fan fiction squared
I have always loved the look you give hades. Also how sometimes it's noticeable how he dosen't really glow. He's cool
this is legitimately my favorite video on this channel. i cannot breathe, thank you so much for this gift of a video
"100% heterosexual activities" I mean, you're not wrong. It is a bit strange that a bunch of guys are showing off their athletic abilities to each other while naked.
Cultural Perspective. Just like how kidnaping your soon-to-be SO was A-OK to the Greek/Romans, so was racing naked. In fact, doing such feats naked were actually easier as spandex was not invented for a couple thousand years and the clothing wouldn't produce drag.
Popalupa so basically the ancient olympics
And Achillies and Patroclus being "hetero-death-partners" XD
@U1timate1nferno Now every close friendship between two men is suspected to be gay. Frodo and Sam anyone?
sometimes whilst drenched in olive oil, no less
The Olympians should be a rock-band, Hades on Lead guitar, Zeus on drums (just for the thunder/loud noises thing), Poseidon on bass, Apollo as the Freddie Mercury style flamboyant frontman, Hera and Athena as the perpetually-exasperated manager/talent wranglers and Persephone as that one super-shy super-fan groupie that Hades falls in love with... I'm gonna write this fanfic now
Could you link it please OP? (Yes ik it's been years but that still sounds like a really cool fic)
@@larissac9598 oh it's still on my to do list, I'll get it started and get back to you though!
@@jennymckenzie5304 Thank you!
I'd love to hear it too
Give us the title when you’re done omg
This was my first ever introduction to OSP, my teacher showed it in class one day and you're now one of my favourite channels on this website ^^
this really helped me with my aeneid assignment for school! i always have trouble trying to read the greek classics, and these vids help me digest it better, thank you!!
