4min 37sec @TEDEd clip - Did ancient #Troy really exist? - Einav Zamir Dembin



Text from youtube "When Homer’s Iliad was first written down in the eighth century BCE, the story of the Trojan war was already an old one. From existing oral tradition, audiences knew the tales of the long siege, the duels outside the city walls, and the trick that finally won the war. In the end, the city was burned to the ground, never to rise again. But had it ever existed? Einav Zamir Dembin investigates. Lesson by Einav Zamir Dembin, directed by Cabong Studios."

11min 33sec @TheCrashCourse clip - #Greek Comedy, #Satyrs, and Aristophanes


Text from youtube "Get ready for hilarity, because this week, we're diving head first into Greek Comedy. Actually, though, maybe don't get TOO ready for hilarity. Taste in humor has changed a little over the last couple of thousand years. You already know about Greek Tragedies, with their hamartia and catharsis and whatnot. Today we're going to look at how Greek comedy evolved out of those tragedies, first as Satyr plays, and later as full-blown comedies. So come along. There are a few laughs involved, I promise."
