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!

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 also really like the notes at the end, a work like this absolutely benefits from giving it some context.

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.

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
