"Which we would consider to be a ~*felony*~" LMAO he's great

Christesen was one of my professors in undergrad, he was my favorite! He was such a talented and engaging lecturer and I’m glad that translated well to this YouTube video
@Bixbeat
That question about Homer had such a satisfying answer. I wish my literature teachers back in the day had gone out of their way to explain really what the relevance of the Iliad was. I never really connected the dots that it's memento mori, but Ancient Greek flavoured. Very informative series as always!

I love that the Greeks started what we now call voting people off the island

Gyms with strict clothing policy are disrespecting their Greek ancestors.

Too short! We need like several hours of this guy!

I was born and raised in Greece and my favorite philosopher is Anaximander, known for illustrating very abstract (for the time) concepts like infinity and "nothing" as the world's 5th classical element (later to become "aether"). Pythagoras was also his most prominent student. I also love Epicurus, mostly known for his school of thought based on moderation / avoidance of overindulgence of worldly pleasures in order to achieve peak happiness

5:05 this one hurt me😭..... in Italy they use to teach us about Iliad and Odyssey when we are toddlers making us read kid versions of them and later on in middle school we also have an entire subject about ancient greek epics to better understand western civilization and its origins
@Fubs_the_queen
Just a reminder that Assassins Creed is INCREDIBLY well researched and it shows. I had multiple art history professors use it as visual references, and I use it now in my lectures!
@haleysneet
Request for an ancient Japanese/ samurai expert next.

Professor Christesen is an engaging and detailed speaker and educator. I really enjoyed listening~ Greek history is so rich.
@xxTra0rDinaRy
as a greek I really appreciate how objective the professor is stating the facts both ways seems a nice guy

21:00 The ancient Greeks fished in the Aegean which is very rich in fish. they were always fishermen and farmers. They also had herds of animals, sheep, goats, etc.
@06alymay
I love how the “exact details” are unclear around one of the most important libraries in history. Just blows my mind!

Under my study abroad program last year, I went to Greece (Athens, Delphi, Nafplion, Olympia) where we all learned the history of ancient sport and culture in Greece, as well as the history of the ancient Greek Olympics. I have gained such a monumental and insightful perspective on what it means to play and compete in sport as a collective narrative with humans. There is so much to know about the ancient Greek Olympics, and the history of the modern Olymics!

Paul looks like a modern Julius Caesar

"If Alexander was great, why did he die at 32?" Dude achieving so much at such a young age is the real deal.
