  I absolutely loved this format! I feel like youtube is flooded with videos that are just repeating history over and over in that monotone sort of voice that makes you space out... great job!

  Of course, there was a central sewage system in Athens, and it came to our knowledge in 2003, when the Athens subway was being built.

  Aeschylus is probably my favorite greek playwright. His words so beautifully stir the soul, even thousands of years later. For instance, his ramous quote &quot;He who learns must suffer.&quot; Succint yet still wise. But the rest of the quote is often forgotten. <br><br> &quot;Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart<br>until, in our own despair, against our will,<br>comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.&quot;

  For the question on how ancient Greek music sounded there is some amusing reading to be had on that subject by Plato.

  First off it&apos;s was so funny for the first thirty seconds of this video because I listen to Tristan&apos;s podcast &quot;The Ancients&quot; (I&apos;M OBSESSED WITH IT) and I never realized until now I had never SEEN what Tristian looked like so when I saw him in this video I was only able to recognize that it was Tristian when he started SPEAKING LMAO. &nbsp;LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thanks History Hit &amp; Tristan!
