    Current Video: "A relatively obscure man named Alexander." Older Video: "Yes, THAT Alexander."
  • 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."
  • @alansalas1880
    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.
  • @Farazormal1
    His distaste of Phillip as a "barbarian" because he's from Macedon seems rather strange given that his mother was half Scythian.
  • @davebowman9000
    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
  • @innosanto
    Phillip was brilliant. There needs to be series on Phillip with 2 or 3 episodes.
  • @animeyahallo3887
    The last time I was this early Aristotle is still teaching Alexander things about the world.
  • @umiddey8714
    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....
  • @scoringbox2176
    A seriously underrated aspect from these types of videos from this channel is the artwork. Well done!
  • 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.
  • @petrosb52
    Interesting topics for next episodes about Greek history : a series about the peloponnesian war, Cyrus anabasis, Corinthian war, Alcibiades biography
  • @saillok4923
    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.
  • @MagneticDonut
    YES! This channel is so incredible! As is Greek history. Thank you so much
  • @JimH-vk8ft
    The rabble: ‘Haha, what’ve you got, rocks for brains?’ Young Demosthenes, with pebbles in mouth: ‘...nooooooo’

    Kings and Generals, you have become the Plutarch of YouTube.
