- An entertaining collection of the sayings of the most famous Greek and Roman leaders from the classical era.
Although alleged to have been written by Plutarch it is likely these sayings were sourced from his works by later authors.

Fuck yes! Plutarch! Get in you slags!
"Where the lion’s skin will not reach, you must patch it out with the fox’s"
Imagine in a few thousand years, people will be reading "sayings of the most famous shitlords from youtube"
+Mil F Shake Better. In 3017 a History major may be able to access Carl Benjamin's voice and likeness and hear the Great Sargonian Sermons from the horse's mouth. In the Temple of Sargon, I am sure.
On a serious note, just think what a staggering archive of our world CZcams is. If this platform survives for centuries, future generations will have unprecedented knowledge of previous eras.
+The Wendigo You are forgetting the most important part of youtube. Cat videos.
Mil F Shake Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly afraid CZcams will start deleting videos of historical significance to vacate space for cat videos, in a hundred years or so when all the computers in the world will run out of space to host cutesy-wootsy little kitty-kats.
I think I've watched maybe one cat video, by mistake. I like animals grilled and baked. Soups are also nice.
+Mil F Shake At least they'll be aware of the Welsh language.
+The Wendigo I would imagine in the future it will be used to change history and update it to suite the governments goals and trick people into thinking that's how it was. I often wondered if our civilization disappeared and people dug up stuff at a later date if they would think the whole world was china because all the goods would have made in china marked on them and be found globally.
I have just found Ancient Recitations. It is well done and very well read in an accent that is unobjectionable - a thing rare enough. Thank you for doing this. It is a charitable work.
Sargon has a cool voice.
Great selection. I wonder how much of this they actually said though. I believe the greeks are often more interested in creating an entertaining legend behind historical figures than accurately reporting on them.
This book is published by the Loeb Classical Library, with Greek on the left pages and English on the right.

I'm really taking a liking to this Phocion fellow: he's clearly honest and honorable. And he has the funniest lines about the people.
God I love this series Sargon thank you! Keep it going!
Plutarch is one of the greatest ancient biographers.
Nice material. It is full of really inspiring quotes and could have been easily cut into smaller features.
If you havent done the Book of Five Rings by Musashi I would love to hear that.

No one records the words of a known fool unless that known fool is a king, General, or Priest that wrote or commissioned them.
Please do more from Rome!

"Being saluted as the son of Zeus, Alexander said, 'It is no wonder, for Zeus is by nature the father of all & calls the best men his sons'." (32:29)

In three millennia Sargon's progeny will read these comments.

I find slightly ironic that Plutarch was a high priest of Delphi (a big fucking deal in Greece), and is on this channel.
