Love this

you need to contact Dr Hillman from Lady babylon. I would love your input into his claims

A true bibliophile. I get a bit nervous seeing your treasures unprotected from bacteria; which can consume books, being that the paper and leather is organic in Nature. Add glass doors to your bookshelves to increase protection and longevity. With longevity, your love of books can continue after you have departed this Earth. Remember the great knowledge that was lost at Alexandria.

Thank you for sharing these on RUclips, though it is rarer and rarer to discover enthusiasm for these past and great works, I really appreciate this channel for continuing the tradition despite the decline of popular interest. I have found these most helpful in my re-reading of this tremendous poem.

The thing is whoever is saying that they want the Greek gods to exist. You’re basically saying you want Zeus to fuck you because that’s what he does. Don’t you all see Greek mythology is bad half of the gods there are evil!

If Zeus existed today, all woman on this earth would be screwed and maybe if all of the Greek gods existed half of the world would be dead because of all of their damage they would’ve done something called Ares the god of war something called the monsters from Greek mythology they would just kill us all at this point!

In Norse mythology, they make a rope out of the breath of a fish which makes no sense and in Greek mythology the king of all of the gods literally just fuck everybody is that really what people in this comment section saying is real!

This has inspired me to start my own library.

st john vianney or st John Chrysostom?

10:40 Is 400, not 1400.

Show me in any founding document where the term “democracy” is used. We are a constitutional republic. I enjoyed the video until I heard the term “democracy…”

Kinda makes my 4 books feel like it's not a proper library

Finally a reading that's not AI and with a great translation.

The problem with passing on the "old teachings" and this is why history repeats itself. Some lessons are impossible to teach. Like someone who has not had any food for a week that person trying to teach the importance of always having can goods to a person that has eaten fast food their entire life.

Why not use modern English? This is boring as Hell.

A little way into the movie Die Hard, the villain Hans Gruber looks at a model of a Nakatomi Corp. construction project and remarks "When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds left to conquer. ... The benefits of a classical education."

Cincinnatus, the Roman of the Romans.

"...who live for the glory of God and the kingdom of Christ." I literally shouted "WOW" in the crowded subway when I heard that 😂😂😂. I didn't know it was a cristian channel, or at least a christian producer. God bless you, man. Instant subscribe.

1. <s> I do not want to read the writings of an uneducated barbarian (Caius Iulius Caesar), who did not bother to read the Classics (Enuma Elish). </s> 2. This sacrifice is not a sacifice, just simple adaptation to changing times. Other, newer authors bacame and become canon, some of the older ones are getting excluded, marginalised. 3. A Hungarian novelsit Mór Jókai is well known of his extensieve use of Latin and German expressions, therefore all his books include glossary for the readers and even a growing part of the literature teachers think, Jókai should be taken out or minimalized partially because of this archaic language useage. And this is the case here and with the movie mentioned. All those media can have supplementary material to help people to understandt deeper the opus. The HBO serises "Rome" have very good subtitles explaining the actions of the characters from Roman culture point of view. 4. Due to snobbism I started to learn Latin.

Classicist here. Couldn't agree more. But…how do you respond to people who say "I don't care. I don't need this. It is not relevant to me or my culture."

Such a tragedy with the Library of Alexandria and the burning of the books.

what I got from this video: before the internet, memes were written down in books

What do you recommend for history before they get to high school? I’m in love with what I see for high school, but I have a 4th and 7th grader. How do I prepare them for this?

Hi Mr Roman Roads Media. I enjoy your videos. You might like my new book Best Christian Art; subtitle Aesthetic Christianity. It's nondenominational. Christian art in general, and not just Catholic art. I'm going to make yt videos about all the chapters. About 1 per day. I'm a neuroradiologist who occasionally writes about art and literature. I mostly make videos about nutrition and health at my yt channel Peter Rogers MD.

I suggest to listen to some italian readings (Gassman, Benigni,etc...), in the original language with rhymes. 100 chants, 14,233 lines, in rhymes! 😍

Lord Bryon: Don Juan is the only other epic that comes to mind

Bible is stupidity .

Classical education is excellent, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s necessarily “Christian” - it’s not. Most classical literature was written by Greek & Roman Pagans and secular Platonic / Aristotelian philosophers.

I went to college in the 1990’s and was a humanities major so we had to read all the classics. Classical education is still taught in much of Europe, and has only been abandoned largely in America and other English speaking countries.

Funny I find this today, because only a few days ago I finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo. In the book, Dumas probably makes 30 references or more to Greek mythology and theater and undoubtedly virtually all of those references are lost on the modern reader. Thankfully my copy had annotations.

Greek gods are real they ware fallen angels

What you are describing, sir, is the White Erasure of our culture. The erasure of our classics, our standards, our norms and our expectations of behaviour - this has all been done on purpose.

This was quite interesting until all the sycophantic waffle about the latter day akhenaten cult.

Come on. If the god is real. How come The Zeus is not. Or the god comes walking the street for real?

The Chinese had 'The Five Classics '. How does that compare with the Western Classics ?

Yes.. what SHOULD our cultural base be.. now that we have a New World Order 🌎 and the first female President is Hindu 🕉 😀 ?? What IS the challenge of the public education systems with all of the United Nations nations having to agree to make progress towards the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( and Responsibilities ).. ?? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

To think the Greek gods didn’t have moral expectations of people is a blatant sign of insufficient education of the topic you’re speaking on and malicious bias through misrepresentation. The gods were not examples , the gods faced divine retribution for their misdeeds themselves, and gods were thought to punish people every day.

Welcome to TL/DR land. Mass communication, aided and abetted by computer technology (like what I am typing in now), has killed our ability to sit still and read text for longer than 15 minutes. There's too many things grabbing our eyeballs. Like youtube itself.

the Classics have been replaced by Star Wars and Harry Potter as the universal cultural touchstone. Which is pathetic, I know.

Where would one find the other lectures?

I thoroughly enjoyed this 🙏 Undoubtedly informative and inspiring ❤ Thank you for sharing!

"What we lost when we abandoned classical education" is the ability to make references to a very limited literary canon. Of course, what we gained is an enormous, and enormously rich, literary heritage of a wide variety of cultures, both domestic and global. Indeed, the drive to access a broader, wider, more varied cultural heritage was the primary reason for abandoning classical education. How superficial a view it is, to imagine that the greatest loss when we put classical education behind us is the inability to understand humorous references!

My jaw dropped when I heard the gentleman say that "everybody" knew (in England and the U.S.) the first question of the Protestant catechism -- as if "everybody" were Protestant, in either country. Maryland was founded by English Catholics; the Irish flooded into the U.S. in the 1840s. Perhaps the speaker also believes that all Germans are Protestant as well.

What a lovely video! Thank you.

I recall seeing a Sid Caesar skit where Sid in a toga enters a Roman saloon ala Western & calls for a ‘Martino’. The bartender replies “Don’t you mean a Martini?” Sid answers “if I want more than you I’ll ask for it.” Sid was Jewish. Aside those raised with a Romance language, no one would get that joke today. Your loss is in no small part due, to the Catholic Church, Vatican 2, abandoning Latin in the Tridentate Mass - a tragedy. Worse still the loss of magnificent music we once sang.
