- Follow Pheidias, the chief builder for the Parthenon, as he supervises the construction of the new temple and faces charges of embezzlement.
--
The year is 432 BCE. As dawn breaks over Athens, Pheidias is already late for work. He is the chief builder for the Parthenon - Athens’ newest and largest temple- and when he arrives onsite, city officials accuse him of embezzling gold from the temple’s sacred central statue. He has until sundown to prove his innocence or face the courts. Mark Robinson outlines a day in the life of a Greek architect.

Mom! Phideas and Perc are making an Athena temple!
(Greek flute plays).
In reality Phideas Sister Candakos is annoying, she always try to blaming her brother without a proof
@@whynamedwhycare7174 Which is probably the Origins of their sister in the show
Underrated comment
Phideas : Hey, where's Perios?
Candace would be named Cassandra.

I feel like an intellectual after watching Ted Ed videos but the next day I forget
@Question Everything - Thought Provoking Ideas, please question and provide the source of the quote at least. This is horrifyingly simplistic, considering the context of the quotation. No quote directly translated from ancient Greek would have sounded like this. Actual quotation is: "Laws are made to instruct the good, and in the hope that there may be no need of them; also to control the bad, whose hardness of heart will not be hindered from crime." Plato, Laws book 9, 880d-e, trans. Benjamin Jowett. This is even a bad translation, the better ones are by Thomas Pangle. And Phidias is not a kind of person Plato especially admired, nor one famous for lawfulness, considering his low opinion about art and artists in the "Republic." The construction of the Acropolis and Parthenon is heavily criticized in Plato's "Gorgias," not as a pointless aesthetic expense, but a sign of moral corruption.
3:57 Imagine taking a picture in front of the magnificent gold statue but when you get home, all you have is a photo of you with some giant glowing toes...
I suppose the goddess is too magnificent to stay in a measly mortal's phone screen...
I won’t complain about Feeet.

Well, the Athena Parthenos doesn’t exist anymore so…

He said that and went on to design a lot of hideous stuff
That architect is a stain on humanity.

As a Greek I am very happy to see our culture and history being represented so accurately and skillfully. Ευχαριστώ (thank you as we say in the homeland).
Modern day "Greeks" has as much connection with the ancient culture of Greece as modern Egyptians have with ancient Egypt. If it wasn't for the British and the French to remove the dust of history you would be sitting on top of those ruins without realizing the meaning of it all. You should indeed be thankful.
@@kohterg3713 the fact that our culture inspires people should be considered as a testament to our importance in the cultural sphere. I suspect you were also 'inspired' to commit to the process of 'διάλογος' (conversation), although you have a funny way of showing it.
@@mbbbits4847 I find it ridiculous how one is bragging about the past while being obsolete in the present let alone being of any sort of relevance for the future. It seems a persistent trait of any undeveloped country... which is pity for everyone's sake, especially the young generations that are yet to come. I'm not downplaying the importance of ancient cultures, but rather trying to punch through people's "ἐγώ" in hopes of awakening them.
Η Ελλάδα είναι μόνο μία και στον κόσμο άλλη καμία!❤🥰🇬🇷❣
@@kohterg3713 you probably say that because you have no culture and history yourself. You lack of pedia.
There are lots of centaurs carved in the scenes. Their leader, Chiron, was also a god of medicine and pharmacy. So you could say that he was a Centaur for Disease Control and Prevention.
Agreed.
Hehe
"Excellence is not an act, it is a habit." - Aristotle
It's excellence, not quality. I know nobody gives a s**t in a youtube comment section (morons will like pretty much anything) but at least quote it right to respect Aristotle.
Can you imagine seeing this right when it was completed? Beautiful.
Agreed.
As a just graduated architect, this is so cool, my poor man Phidias tho :c
Happy graduation😃🎈🎈🎈🎈
Congrats^^
Give him a hug, proudly child. ❤
Congrats man
Do you specialize in a specific style of architecture by any chance?
4:21 that goat caught me off guard lmao
I love these 'a day in the life of' videos.
So proud to be a Greek-Cypriot and learning so much from this wonderful channel. ❤️🇬🇷🇨🇾
Agreed.
I cannot be the only one who immediately thought of Annabeth
I thought of her too. Especially with the Athena Parthenos.
No you cannot. That’s the reason I clicked on the video
Your not.
An ancient Greek was trying to figure out how long a day was.
But after 24 hours he called it a day.
Sebastian Elytron bruh moment.
Lol
Wait... what?
I'm an Architect by name and I need constant reminder on why I am. These kinds of stories keeps reminding me as to why I started this path. I will design my masterpiece one day.

History of Architecture 1. I can still remember how our instructor enthusiastically retold the construction of this temple (and many other architecture). His enthusiasm was the reason why I love the HOA subjects so much to the point that I don’t need to study for every exam. Because I was legit listening to every word he said and learned a lot from it.
The HOA subjects were some of the best ones in Architecture school.
Hey, where did you study and who was your instructor?
Why do I find his voice so soothing
It’s like ur in a movie and u wake up, the sun is shining, the birds chirping, and ur dog comes to greet u😌
Absolutely incredible video, once again. Thank you Ted-Ed!
What a perfect way to start the day!! The day in the life series is amazing 🥰
My two favourite topics combined, Greek history and architecture! As a graduate architect, I love this episode most 😍
Agreed.
I love how they give us information through story telling!!❤❤
Greek history is now one of my favourites thanks to ted Ed
Agreed.
I love Architecture as well as Ancient Greece. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
The person who just narrated in this video is my favourite storyteller .😍
He’s called Mark Robinson

This is the "two smartest kids in the class having different answers" situation isn't it?
Ye its Mark Robinson. its literally in the description
@@zexplayz2251 bruh it is a LESSON BY Mark Robinson but it is NARRATED BY Addison Anderson. Addison Anderson voices and narrates many other ted ed videos
my favourite series is back!
The animations are amazing as always!
“A day in the life” videos are amongst my favorites here in Ted Ed.
The narration is amazing as expected nice

My teacher showed us this video in History class a few weeks ago. He loves using Ted Ed videos for every lesson. It’s really helpful to our upcoming tests. 👍 ❤️
Good for you
My art history class just talked about this today. Couldn't have been timed better!
I love ted Ed it is so fun to learn from their videos. I really enjoy this tending to this mans voice. It is so peaceful and I have been watching ted Ed since I was little
Very small thing , but I love the use of B.C.E. And once again, such a good video! Love to see it.

I love your videos so much.
Will definitely donate to you when i am able to... ❤️
I am in love with these animations
Awesome and informative video
I love this series!
I always knew that Phedias was the sculptor of Parthenon and Iktinos and Kallikratis were actually the architects. Phedias had his students and some other sculptors help him with with the sculptures.. Your editing is amazing though, really liked the style!
Agreed.
such an educative channel.
I liked the video too much. It was amazing as every time.

You know how much I like these!
So lovely I always love pheidia's statues
Pheidias is that one person you always hear about in math problems.

Wow you don't how mauch eager i was for another "a day in life" video😦🌻🌻🌻🌻🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁Te ed thanks for teaching me💗💗💗💗💗🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
I love this already.
My fav series
the background music kinda reminds of AC Odyssey, and they covered abt this too in their Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece
I wish I have a time machine to go visit places and witness great events. I can bet everything that things happened significantly differently than everyone thought they did.
Fascinating History!!🙂❤👍
Love these day in a life ones♥️😍♥️😍
I wonder if any of the buildings I create will be studied and revered in some capacity...
Interesting thought 🤔
Hey, it might.
I love videos like this! Can you guys put out a video about a day in the life of women in Ancient Greece?
TY 😊
Do a video on the temples of Thanjavur.
You guys need to make more architectural videos.
There is so much to take on.
History vs. Le Corbusier
The Bauhaus movement
Jane Jacobs and her book "Death and life of great Americans cities" and how it saved and revolutionised urban planning.
So many great architects, urban planners, engineers and styles through out the ages.
Best ed channel ever
I’m ready for this Ted vid already!
I am Indian, but I don't think the CIA did Minecraft and Terraria series

Architecture of world is an imagination of man to show his story and carving of history shows design and Traditional development in the Technology 👍👍👍👍
I've finished watch this
great video! just one word though: if i remember well, the parthenon is not a temple, it's more of what we would call a treasury (like the siphnian treasury), ie a gigantic offering, which hosts other smaller offerings (the main one here being the athena parthenos).
also people wouldn't have made libations nor sacrifices in temples: altars were outside, in front of temples, as the goal was for the blood to run down to the ground and the smoke up to the sky and gods. :)
I'm building a pantheon-like temple in Minecraft as my home. So this is actually really inspiring!
Gamer respect
Thank you so much for this, Please do 'A day in a life of a 17th century pirate. "
BEST CHANNEL EVER 💪
agreed
Thought this video cover on how the heck did they put a large roof stone up there
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and I shall move the world"... Great line

Make video on ashoka and his 9 unknown people who had the knowledge of the universe
I am from Greece and I hope that more people after seeing this video will realise what the British Museum did. Stole a part of Parthenon
Lord Elgin's bribe.
1:42 didn't expect that from you Ted Ed
What
I dont see a comme3
Do you know who really built the Parthenon, Naxos, island Leontini the Ionian style is Naxos theme, Dionysis artifice
Ted Ed usually uploads at 8:40PM in *India*
I love Ted Ed's videos
Remind me again what they say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is...
Always wondered it
This CZcamsr is my childhood ❤️
I got here a minute ago.
Nice.
Interesting video but how about the Think like a coder series
It seems that the role of an architect has changed since then. Nowadays architects focus on the esthetics only while in ancient times they were also engineers and construction managers.
thx
