Before the Battle of Gaugamela, Parmenion went to Alexander's tent & urged him to attack the Persians at night when they would least expect it. Alexander replied in front of everyone that it would be shameful to steal the victory; instead, he must win it openly & without deceit.

![When Philonicus the Thessalian brought Bucephalus to sell to Philip, asking for thirteen talents, they went down to the plain to test the horse. However, it appeared wild and extremely difficult to handle, it would not accept a rider, nor tolerate the voice of any of Philip’s attendants, but instead, it became more agitated with each attempt. When Philip grew angry and ordered the horse to be led away, deeming it too wild and unmanageable, Alexander, who was present, exclaimed: "What a horse I am losing, simply because they lack the skill and courage to handle it!" At first, Philip remained silent. But as Alexander kept repeating the same words, Philip finally said: "Are you criticizing your elders because you believe you know more, or because you think you can handle the horse?" Alexander replied: "I could handle this horse better than anyone." "And if you fail, what penalty will you pay for your recklessness?" asked Philip. "By Zeus," Alexander swore, "I will pay the full price of the horse myself!" At this, everyone laughed. Yet, Philip agreed to the wager. Immediately, Alexander approached the horse and, taking the reins, turned it toward the sun, for he had noticed that the horse was frightened by its own moving shadow, cast before it. He let the horse gallop lightly for a while, stroking it whenever it seemed tense or aggressive. Then, he quietly removed his cloak and leapt onto its back, sitting firmly in place. He gently pulled the reins, tightened his grip without using a whip or spurs, and when he felt the horse had relaxed and was ready to run, he let it go, guiding it with a stronger voice and pressing with his legs. At first, Philip and his attendants watched in tense silence. But when Alexander turned the horse and rode back, proud and composed, everyone erupted in cheers. Philip, deeply moved, is said to have shed a tear of joy and, as Alexander dismounted, he said to him: "My son, you must seek a kingdom worthy of yourself, for Macedonia is too small for you." — Plutarch, Parallel Lives Alexander [6]](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2063704718837219792/amplify_video_thumb/2063703933873197056/img/1DDEbHKGEq1OXSfm.jpg)

![Emily Wilson is a kind of a feminist that is truly a bad person that wants to hurt you. Not directly, but in depth, through her profession as a classicist. She is attacking my culture and the Greeks because she hates virtues. She is blatantly lying because most of you don't know to read Greek. But I am Greek and I can read both modern and ancient Greek. So let me tell you why she is purposely lying. The references with insulting epithets toward the servant/slave women who betrayed Odysseus’s house and slept with the suitors are numerous. The most common ones, however, are "bitches" and "shameless" that were serious insults. Most foreigners translated the word "bitch" as "slut" which is correct to say that this is wrong because it's not what the text writes but in a sense of "non-literal translation" it's not out of context because those women who slept with the suitors and betrayed Penelope were "shameless bitches". Especially the word "shameless" is a strong insult in Greek. It implies sexual shamelessness lack of decency, and moral boldness and this is why foreign translators are using the word "sluts" in English. But Homer doesn't use the Greek word directly to call them "whores". The following translations I will use are made directly from the ancient Greek text into modern Greek. We Greeks do not read foreign translations. What we call an adaptation (απόδοση) from ancient to modern Greek is not considered a "translation" for us, since it is the same language. In other words an adaptation of a Greek text bridges the gap between ancient or dialectic Greek and the modern target audience. 1. Odysseus to a servant woman (Book 18, line 340): "Bitch, if I go and immediately repeat your wretched words to Telemachus, he will tear you to pieces, you’ll be smashed into bits." [ἦ τάχα Τηλεμάχῳ ἐρέω, κύον (=Bitch), οἷ᾽ ἀγορεύεις, κεῖσ᾽ ἐλθών, ἵνα σ᾽ αὖθι διὰ μελεϊστὶ τάμῃσιν] 2. Penelope to Melantho (the servant who slept with Eurymachus and betrayed them), when Melantho spoke rudely to Odysseus (who was still disguised) (Book 19, line 91): "Nevertheless, you bold, shameless bitch, you do not escape my notice at all, doing a great deed which you will wipe off on your own head." [πάντως, θαρσαλέη, κύον ἀδεές (=fearless bitch), οὔ τί με λήθεις ἔρδουσα μέγα ἔργον, ὃ σῇ κεφαλῇ ἀναμάξεις] 3. "Perhaps in foreign lands too, some servant women insult him, every time he enters a famous lord’s house, just like these bitches here who all together insult you, stranger. I imagine that to avoid their reproach, their shamelessness…" (Book 19, around line 370) 4. "Servant women shamelessly dragging themselves here and there." (Book 20, line 318) 5. "Twelve of them appeared completely shameless, who had no regard for me and showed no respect to Penelope." (Book 22, line 422) Emily Wilson cannot tolerate any criticism of the women who betrayed the man Odysseus and slept like shameless bitches with the enemy, betraying Penelope. In her worldview, men are always the bad guys, and only women are the heroines. She herself calls the academic translators misogynists. It is inconceivable that there are today "eunuch" academics who defend this malicious and worthless woman. This woman is in Classical Studies in order to destroy them, so that you, who will read her books, will form a false image of the epics that built Western civilization. How Odysseus is not a hero, Achilles is not a hero, men are not great and brave but evil, and how the patriarchy must be fought so that women can win. They are trying to convince you that there is no heroism in Homer. Yet the epics were written precisely for this reason: so that you understand what it means to be a hero, what sacrifices are required, what difficulties you will face, and how you will achieve eternal fame. How you will conquer your passions, how anger destroys you, and how moral virtues lead you toward godlike status. She hates all of this. She wants you spiritually dead. She hates you. Therefore, it is completely justified for you to hate them too.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2058276509564252630/amplify_video_thumb/2058265943147433984/img/nbDDhlT4jseCu5bG.jpg)

After the Battle of the Granicus, Alexander sent 300 Persian armors to Athens as a dedication to Athena. He ordered this inscription: "Alexander, son of Philip, and the Greeks, except for the Spartans, dedicated these spoils from the barbarians dwelling in Asia."

Odysseus was away from his home for 20 years, ten years fighting in the Trojan War and ten more years struggling at sea before being "washed ashore" in Ithaca, at his home. After everything he endured, he returned to Ithaca alone, aged, weary, burdened with suffering and sorrow, and unrecognizable to everyone. Dressed in rags so no one would recognize him, he was accompanied by Eumaeus, the swineherd, who also did not recognize him. As they approached the palace, Odysseus saw Argos, his beloved dog and friend who had missed him during his time in Ilion (Troy), now in a very miserable state. Homer describes Argos as covered in ticks, neglected, lying still as if waiting for something - his death - but not quite ready yet. A brief conversation takes place over Argos between Odysseus and Eumaeus, after which Odysseus enters the hall with the suitors. Now, Argos is ready to die. He can finally take his last breath, as the moment he had waited for over 20 years had arrived, he saw his best friend one last time. His longing and hope for the return of his master had kept him alive for 20 whole years. Only Argos recognized him! The hero Odysseus, deeply moved, could not hold back a tear, which he secretly wiped away so that Eumaeus wouldn’t see it and suspect something. (“νόσφιν απομόρξατο δάκρυ” “he secretly wiped away his tear.”) Homer writes: Rhapsody ρ, Line 290 Thus they were speaking to each other, But the dog, lying down, lifted his head and ears; Argos, Odysseus’ faithful dog, whom he once raised but never got to enjoy, as Odysseus left early for sacred Ilion (Troy). 295. ...lying in a pile of dung spilled in front of the gates by mules and cattle, which the servants took to fertilize Odysseus' estate. 300. There Argos lay, full of ticks. The moment he sensed Odysseus near him, he wagged his tail and lowered both ears, but he couldn’t get up to reach him. Odysseus saw him from afar and secretly wiped away his tear so Eumaeus wouldn’t notice, and then he asked him: 305. “A wonder, this dog, Eumaeus, lying in the manure. He is good in body, but I’m not sure if he’s as swift as he is beautiful, or if he’s one of those table-fed dogs of men, kept only as an ornament by lords.” 325. As he said this, he entered the well-built house and went straight into the hall with the shining suitors. And the fate of black death seized Argos, immediately after he saw Odysseus for the first time in twenty years ... ----- Homer Pavlos✍️

Modern society is afraid of these films. They don't stay faithful to the primary texts, because these works of the Greeks promote patriotism, heroism, hysterophemia, glory (κλέος), excellence (αρετή), and emphasize that everything revolves around the nation (έθνος) and religion (θρησκεία), around values and sacrifices for your country and your people. Those who control the "arts" hate these virtues. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, the Persian Wars epics, Alexander, tragedies or even Roman Empire, portray warriors and heroes fighting for honor, their country, their comrades, and the gods. Achilles seeks immortal fame. He is choosing to go to war although he knew he would die. Hector defends Troy, his family and his people. Spartans at Thermopylae embody the sacrifice for Greece. Alexander embodied the Plato's dream of a King Philosopher. They hate those virtues. They are trying to attack those manly role models so they can destroy your perspective and the respect you have for your ancestors. "The Greek identity, being of the same blood and the same language, the common sanctuaries of the gods and sacrifices, and similar customs and ways of life." (Herodotus Book 8, 144) Shared blood, language, customs, and shrines (as Herodotus notes) fostered a Panhellenic identity. Hollywood will never promote the Greek virtues. To understand these things, Greeks have to produce these movies. We need films produced by Greeks, in the Greek language, with Greek actors, and with love and passion for our history. Because Hollywood hates the messages of the Classics. And modern discomfort isn't unique to Greece. Similar shifts hit Roman epics, medieval tales or even biblical stories. Modern society hates Homer. That's why they don't understand him. They just read him through their wrong translations just to manipulate the context for their own personal agendas. Modern society hates Homer because his works shaped Western thought and formed the foundation of a civilization based on human moral values, religion, and ethics. It hates him because his works offer strong, manly role models that can inspire your sons to become better men and think outside the box. They don’t want that. They want you weak and disillusioned with classical studies. All these pseudo intellectuals have invaded the academic community of classical studies and archaeology and are trying to completely rewrite the facts in order to repel you. They want to fully control classical studies the same way they control art. Because if they control the Classics they will control the civilizational narrative.

"There is only one best omen: to defend your country." -Homer, Iliad, Rhapsody M, line 243 As the Trojans were pushing the Greeks back, Polydamas saw an eagle on their left holding a bloodied serpent in its talons. The snake turned and bit the eagle, which then dropped it. Seeing the eagle and the serpent, Polydamas urged Hector not to advance with the chariots toward the ships on the beach, warning that those following on foot would be slaughtered. With a fierce look, Hector the helmet-shaker replied: "I do not like at all what you have said, Polydamas. There is only one best omen: to fight in defense of your country. And you, Polydamas, why do you fear war and battle? Even if we all die here, that is no cause for fear, nor is your heart cowardly so as to flee from combat. But if you run from the war or try with words to turn others away, know that you will lose your life by my spear."
