During his campaigns in Thrace, Lysimachus became a captive of Dromichaetes, the king of the Thracians. In spite of the fact that Lysimachus was his grave enemy, Dromichaetes treated him hospitably and invited him to the banquet (while Lysimachus was still his prisoner). And on this banquet Dromichaetes asked Lysimachus whether he prefers the company of Macedonians or Thracians, on which Lysimachus replied "Macedonians". Dromichaetes then asked: "Why then, have you desired to abandon the splendid company of Macedonians and wander so far into the lands of the men whose company you do not enjoy". The story is told by Diodorus Siculus [21.12]

Thrax, if we take into consideration spoken languages close by Thracia would be related to Ancient Greek θώραξ (thṓrax, “a breastplate”). Thracians were a martial people and seems plausible to consider their name had to do with body-armor wore in battle. The linothorax (Ancient Greek: λινοθώραξ) is a type of upper body armor used throughout the ancient Mediterranean world. The linothorax appears to have been used in place of the bronze cuirass as the popular choice of armor for Greek hoplites, starting perhaps around the late 7th century and early 6th century B.C. The earliest attested account of a linothorax used for battle is recorded in Book 2 of Homer's Iliad (2.529 and 2.830). It is worn by Ajax the Lesser and is described in brief. It was used by armies of Alexander the Great, and its mentioned by other sources such as Herodotus (2.182, 3.47, 7.63), Livy (4.19.2-20.7), Strabo (Geography, 3.3.6, 13.1.10), and many other minor sources. The armor got its name from Illyrian (Alb.) “thurje” which means knitting or weaving (or texture).

Alexander encouraged sacking the city of Persepolis, and did nothing to stop his soldiers from massacring and raping the civilians there. He then burnt the city to the ground destroying centuries worth of irreplaceable knowledge and culture from the Persian Achaemenid Empire, which is why we know so little of the empire that once held 44% of the world population. He was a conqueror and a warlord who should not be romanticized. There is a reason he was long afterward known as Alexander the Accursed to the people of Persia.

This is the simplified Greek interpretation. Part of the Thracians were romanized, many others preserved their language and identity until the Slavic invasion.

According to Herodotus' testimony , the Macedonians were a Dorian tribe that moved from Estiotida of Thessaly (near Trikala) towards Orestida , on the outskirts of Pindus , and Elimea , where they settled . Before they reached the area , it was inhabited probably by thracian and Phrygian tribes that migrated to Asia minor during the 2nd millenia BC , meaning that the area was almost deserted . Their first king was Perdikas I , the founder of the Argead dynasty , who originated ( as the name suggests ) from Argos . He expanded his kingdom first to Eordea , afterwards to Botie , Pieria and finally to Almopia .

I wouldn't mind seeing more video's on how the Greeks interacted with other people's. But what I want to see more than anything is the next video on the Imjin war. I've been waiting a longtime for it to come. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.

Happy New Year K&G!

Beatiful and Amazing - more on Ancient Greek culture please!

Don’t forget to talk about the Greek relations with the Illyrians!

Bravo ! Most enlightening!

This is great content :)

I gotta say I really like the video, but I'm not really happy with a few artistic choices. One of them is how the greek companions of Heracles were depicted in the early part of the video; seeing how most greek legends take place in the bronze age, an attempt to draw them in actual mycenaean panoply would have been a very appreciated detail. Another one is at 11:15 where both sides are just spartans with different designs, as in the spartans on the right are depicted with what they would have worn before the persian wars (full-face corinthian helmets, muscled breastplate, etc), while the athenians on the left are shown with what actual spartans during the Peloponnesian War would wear (crested pilos helmet and linothorax). Moreover, those "athenians" are a less popular google images result when you google "spartans". Again, these are just details and the video itself is quite good, but these details make it look like the art direction simply slapped together a few stock images and deviantart drawings and then called it a day.

@@god-emperorofmankind8540 The greeks called the epirotes and the macedonians barbarians at the beginning so they were not greek for sure and the albanian in the balkans are descendents from the illyrians because our culture and language is from balkan origin and we never migrated. The historian Weadham peacock even said that out sworddance represents the same as the sworddance of the epirotes. I come with facts but you just come with emotion and hate. The truth cant be dismissed. All the slavs in the balkan were migrated from russia to the balkans the only states that are the original balkan states are albania, greece, croatia. Have a blessed day

@Black Patriot they were fully Greeks and they knew it, the reason they were called "barbarians" by Athens was that Macedonia unlike the other Greek City-state's was a kingdom with a king, that was thought as outdated and barbaric by Athens (Athens created democracy), another reason was the rising of the Macedonian kingdom that wanted to unite Greece, Athens being the then dominant city-state didn't like that at all and did many thing's angaist Macedonia, also Athens mocked and called "barbarians" the Spartans, but uneducated people like you are unaware of that or just ignore it because it isn't going well with their dream of unHellenized Macedonia. Have a nice night and open a book, maybe a proper site, but search about History before opening your mouth

In my language barbarian mean grass-grass and I think that's because civilise people thought that barbarians(people that were not them) lived on grass.

Happy new year 🙏

13:09 hey!! That Civ VI theme song. It fits really good with any of these fantastic History videos.

Could you make a direct sequel to this one? We heard a lot about the Thracians in this video, with a teeny smattering of Scythians and even mythical Amazons. But what about the Illyrians bumping up against Greek colonies in Italy? What about the Libyans and Sabines and Phoenicians and Iberians and Celts and/or Gauls? And what were the civilizations that Greeks did NOT consider to be barbarians, if any?
