👑 Imperiums: Greek Wars is made by a truly indie studio and they have made a game that we hope will rival AAA titles. Consider wishlisting and pre-ordering! store.steampowered.com/app/1183470/Imperiums_Greek…

Demosthenes: "I am against any empire building in Greece. As long as it is not Athens that does it. If Athens do some empire building then it is ok."
-
Current Video: "A relatively obscure man named Alexander." Older Video: "Yes, THAT Alexander."
-
Demosthenes: Finally that King is dead, time to bring Athens to a new golden age. Obscure Young Man Alexander: i'm about to end this man's whole career

A father builds a superb rifle, unmatched in power and versatility - but dies before he can use his masterpiece to its full potential. His son, however, is a brilliant marksman and puts his father’s creation to legendary use the likes of which the world will remember forever.
-
His distaste of Phillip as a "barbarian" because he's from Macedon seems rather strange given that his mother was half Scythian.
-
Demosthenes: So glad Philip got murdered! Zeus has blessed us! Alexander The Great, who believed himself to be a Demi-God, son of Zeus: Lol, not you dude
-
The last time I was this early Aristotle is still teaching Alexander things about the world.
-
08:35 "Perhaps the Macedonian king would be a reasonable man if granted his immediate desires . . ." It sounds as if Neville Chamberlain was a student of Demosthenes.
-
This is the literal personification of "a pen is mightier than a sword".
-
-Demosthenes, Philip is dead he has been murdered. -Great now we can reestablish our old Athenian empire since Macedon will fall into obscurity again. -But sir, there is that young son of Philip i think Alexander was his name. -Beh, all good what can a little boy do....
-
Phillip was brilliant. There needs to be series on Phillip with 2 or 3 episodes.
-
Demosthenes isn’t as lucky as Sun Yat Sen in uprisings...
-
A seriously underrated aspect from these types of videos from this channel is the artwork. Well done!
-
Interesting topics for next episodes about Greek history : a series about the peloponnesian war, Cyrus anabasis, Corinthian war, Alcibiades biography
-

Thank you from Macedonia, Greece 🇬🇷
-
Imagine you are so powerful, influential, and feared that not only you and your son are remembered until the end of time but your one minor ememy gets the same treatment just for having the balls to talk smack about you.
-
YES! This channel is so incredible! As is Greek history. Thank you so much
-
Could you do a video about the Roman siege of Syracuse? The Greeks (kind of) had fiery laser beams and machingun-catapults, it was pretty epic.
