Having a channel such as yours, bound to reach people age 14-16, I smile at how well you will succeed where countless teachers have failed. Here in Italy we study this stuff at school, there's a specific type of high school called "liceo classico" where students learn ancient Greek and Latin, and Greek and Latin literature. I still know a couple Hundred verses of the iliad by heart from those school days. But while this kind of school does attract a certain type of passionate kid, most of the students aren't really keen on anything they study (like students anywhere else), and so for every wonder-eyed fifteen year-old, you've got 10 who are bored out of their minds. I wonder how many Kids of that age you've already managed to captivate, simply by remembering that these are stories, heck, these are THE stories, the first stories we told ourselves, and as such, belong to us in a deeply personal, captivating manner. All you have to do is tell them and not teach them. You're such a gem George, you've been my favorite KZread channel for the past 8 years, since your review of bloodborne got me into Lovecraft and inspired my presentation for my final exam, concluding those 5 years of liceo classico. Thank you George, for all these years

i took italian in highschool and my teacher told us about liceo and how theyre different from american highschools and how you can specialize in something at a younger age, it always sounded way better than what we had. but kids are kids so of course some people arent going to care take it for granted. its nice to hear you appreciated it!

As an American I took it upon myself to read the Iliad and Odyssey when I was 15 years old. Was definitely worth it, taught me a lot about masculinity

This rules George. Totally unexpected but god damn you really put your soul into this and it shows. A+

Thanks for the recommendation George! Can't wait to try this game

As a fellow weirdo nerd, I love this just for the pure dedication to a project most people are gonna go “huh” to. Been meaning to read the Iliad since I’ve read the Odyssey years ago in high school…will check this out lol.

It is nice to see George indulge his hyperfixation to this degree.

Thousands of years later, and "dogface" still a legendary insult.

This is both the most and least expected thing I thought you'd do. Definitely listening to this.

Love how achilles gets up at the assembly and goes through the whole laundry list of 'can anyone think of why Apollo might be mad at us? Anyone got any inkling?'

Thank you George. I'm a native Greek, I've watched your content since I was 16 and this is... perfection. I really wish you could read it in Greek, the words, the meanings, everything changes.

This is awesome. Watching your journey from video game essayist to historian has been awesome. Excited to listen to and from work.

Ive been listening to this while cooking. As someone with ADHD who struggles to read at length sometimes, this has been a killer resource for me!!

finished this, and legit thanks for starting this project. the iliad’s one of those great works that I keep trying and bouncing off of, and this feels like the best chance to get through it

I'm loving the fact that you did this alone!

As intended for the Iliad, this video is pure poetry. The goose bumps are a nice side effect. So glad an online friend lobbed the link my way. Fabulous job! 👏

Instantly transported to a forgotten time and setting thank you George for sharing this I never have read The Iliad but I've heard it is something truly special

This was really entertaining and engaging. The storytelling is remarkable, and actually translates well to modern ears.

Ever since your video where you grumbled about the crappy audiobooks of The Iliad on Audible I've been looking for alternatives. This is easily the absolute best presentation of The Iliad I've come across.

I spend way too much time thinking about Homer and Hunt Showdown because of George. Glad you're posting stuff again man

This is great. I love not only the audiobook production, but also the commentary and context you've provided for those of us not as well-versed in history and mythology.

Very cool! I've not read this so i really appreciate the commentary afterwards 🙂 A winner is you!

I will always, always, always love music and effects audiobooks. Lovely to see you trying this!

Guys....George is being weird again... In all honesty, this guy just does whatever he wants and it always turns out awesome.

Considering the sheer lack of Illiad audiobooks not on audible, this feels so refreshing to see. Keep it up!

Never stop pursuing the things that stir your passions. Hope you and your dog buddy stay good and well.

I can't believe this was done a day ago and I just want MORE!

I think this makes it onto the list of highlights from my life. I'm so excited!

Just what you'd expect from the master, George SuperBunnyhop. Great stuff! I'd love to see more of this, along with info on your decisions when making this adaptation of the Iliad.

I wandered back here to your channel today looking for some video game commentary/essays to keep me company on a down day, and was charmed to discover your foray into audiobook/audiodrama work. I've never been much of a reader of classical work or mythology, but I clicked on this video just to see what this could possibly be like. I just finished listening to it in that one sitting. Very easy to get into and fabulous production all around. The addition of ambient fire sound or the sea and the swells of music to punctuate key moments here and there excellently compliments your engaging delivery of the text. For having no previous particular interest in the subject I am quite enthralled. I'll be keeping an eye on this project. Thank you for your creativity and work.

I know that the Iliad is like, all famous and stuff, but this still feels like such a niche thing to do. I absolutely dig it.

Neat. Always fun to see an artist experiment.

I studied a bit of classics at university and have for a longtime wanted to read The Illiad, but no matter what, I could never find the motivation or joy to read it or even listen to it. Meanwhile I can't stop listening to this, its so well put together and well performed i'm really vibing it. Thank you so much for putting this together!!

Sweet. I'll listen to this when it's not 2:30 AM . There aren't enough good audio books on KZread

This is the best, I love to listen to audiobook while I work, thank you!

I'm really proud to see you produce content other than video games. I like games but you're an intelligent person and it's great to see you branch out!

I was expecting an even longer video. I'm here for this.

I love how this was so amazingly all foreshadowed in your Climate Change in Strategy games video, where in every civ game you played the Greek Civilization and I love the content that is being made.

You’re my favorite KZreadr and this is such a treat , was not expecting to like this so much , thank you

Finally got the time to watch/listen to this, did not disappoint

Thank you for this. I have read the original many times as a child and at school and you really did it justice!

this kicks ass george holy shit. i don't support anyone on patreon but sincerely thinking of supporting you just so you have a reason to keep making it. can't wait for the next one

Hi, I'm a Latin Spanish speaker looking for audiobooks to enjoy listening to. I've only heard a bit, but I love the effects. Thank you, you have great talent. Really, thank you

Why is this higher quality than any audiobook I've ever listened to?

I'm 1000% here for this

This was a really fun reading and performance, and I'm super excited for the rest of the epic!

A few minutes in and I'm loving it! So glad you did this, i would have never gotten into the story by myself but you present it in such a cool way I might follow the same thing. How many books is it?

Just commenting for the algorythm! This needs to be seen and appreciated by more people!

This isn't what I was expecting to find when I decided to check up on your channel, however I've been meaning to read this for a long time. Of all the adaptations I could choose from, this is the one. I'm totally here for this!

This was unexpected and to be expected at the same time. I'm glad to see you back around and I'm gladly supporting each avenue you choose to dive into - knowing it'll always be insightful or at least uncommon.

What the hell… this is awesome.

Seriously, George? I'm re-reading this book as you post this video. Love it. Wine-bibber is a classy insult.

Well shit wasn't expecting this but ill be listening to them for the foreseeable future

Incredible work, crazy amount of dedication.

hell yeah, I hope we get the full thing

Come back , George. We miss you 💔

Thank you for diving into the things you're passionate about. It really shows, and as a history and lit nerd this is a treat!

Your stuff I usually watch in the background while I do other things but I have to give this 100% attention

Man, truly bar fights just haven’t changed in 4,000 years.

Oh, wow, no wonder I haven’t had a super bunny hop video in my recommendations for a while. I’m in!

Haven’t started the video yet but I’m already giddy with anticipation. This is the kind of content I love to see, thanks George!

So, this is what you've been up to all this time! I look forward to hearing your adaptation of this epic!

Sound effects give you no narrative advantage whatsoever. But that was some fancy voice acting. You're pretty good.

This is fuckin genius, super niche but you are like me and love classical epic literature so I really appreciate stuff like this

Dude. Keep the dream alive. Some of my best memories were sparked by "Radio Theatre" versions of plays, movies & books on our local NPR station. I always figured if they could pull off the Star Wars trilogy in that form, (dogfighting chatter was A-1) the Iliad & Odyssey SHOULD be a thing. This gained you a subscriber!

Crazy synchronicity I’m in the middle of reading Anatoly Fomenko and searched the Odyssey last night and was going to search the illiad tonight, and looks like your channel did a huge content flip. Awesome!

These videos might alienate some of your audience but personally I’m fucking here for it let’s go

DUDE this is awesome! Oh my god the sound design. Neat!

This was absolutely incredible. I loved the additional commentary at the end as it was really informative. The reading of your patreon supporters at the end made me spit take it was so funny!

Yeyy…very happy to hear from you again ^^

Having seen how excited you were about this project on the discord it's turned out great really looking forward for the 23 future books with commentary.

This is the Most Super BunnyHop Ever™ and I love it

Thank you for giving me something to listen and or zone out on once every few years for the rest of my life

When George finally reached ultra instinct and decided to become Homer himself

Babe wake up, new Bunnyhop just dropped

This was unexpected. I will be extremely happy if this channel continues in this direction.

I can fairly safely say that the chances I would've read the Illiad on my own are low. By priming me with the videos about Greek Mythology, and now releasing this video, you succesfully transferred your passion, can't wait to listen to this.

I hope this gets the support it deserves

An hour of bunnyhop? Sign me up!

When I read commentary I thought it would be a usually critical video of audiobook industry. Insteas I got a passion project of Iliad for newcomers of iliad. Which is fantastic for me and it was done so well. Can't wait for what you are going to make next.

Bro I needed this a month ago in college. :(

Holy cow!! BunnyHop turned Total War Saga: Troy into a podcast!

Your Achilles is so whiny! I love it!

Awesome, thank you! I hope you do this for the whole

We spent so much time doing the Iliad and odyssey in school that i hated it,we never stepped back and read it in modern greek (it was in ancient Greek only so we had to apply grammar and get tested in it) and we were too young (13-14 years old) to appreciate it fully. I need to go back to those books but due to work and family i can't. Instead i will listen it in English on the car , thanks George.

a very good and enjoyably listenable interpretation thank you

Welcome back, George.

Very cool project George! A lot of work for what I imagine isn't exactly "algorithm-optimized". It's an interesting take on the classic, making a modern version of the form in which people would've heard it over 2500 years ago. I also really like the notes at the end, a work like this absolutely benefits from giving it some context.

I was not expecting this but I'm all for it.

Hi George, enjoying your narration a lot and this type of project is so cool. Have to say I miss your video me content

35:45 I don't think I ever read this passage. Now I'm imagining Zeus in nightcap and pajamas.

You're giving this everything and it really comes through, I am enthralled!

Absolutely loving this so far. Shades of Brad Neely in some of the characters voices. Achaean People, Dear Reader.

Is it weird of me that I want more of this. This has made the illiad surprisingly compelling and i want to see you tell some of the other classics. Persius, the odyssey ect.

I cannot overstate my excitement

After recently reading Memorial by Alice Oswald (an excellent poetry book giving extra life to the lesser known dead of the Illiad), ive been planning on a reread of the Illiad. Seeing this pop up has me extremely excited.

I didn't know I needed this. Cheers!

just wanna say i took a trip to greece because of you.

I was not expecting this but I'm 100% on board

lets go george this is perfect, heck yeah brother
