    Thank you so much for turning these stories into these similar videos to understand. With ADHD it's hard for me to read a book simply because I'm assigned to, but in video forms like yours, I makes it more involved and less mental effort than it has to be.

    Thank you so much. I had to read it for a class and I sort of understood it but this really rounded the story out. Hopefully more topic in my PHI class will be on here

    Thanks for posting this. I've heard this story before but as you were summarizing it, the images of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings came to mind. I wonder if Tolkien took some inspiration from this story.

    Apparently he denied it but there’s no way he didn’t.

    The Ring of Gyges Explained in one sentence : if we can become invincible at will would we still behave in the righteous way we try to follow in our conventional life when we are visible and at any moment in danger of being punished by the law?
