Greek mythology that were seemingly based in reality, thanks to a scientific discovery centuries later.

幾個世紀後，由於科學發現，希臘神話似乎有了現實依據。

也許有人會問，為什麼是亞特蘭蒂斯？

Cyclopes may not be real, but what is perceived as one of their creations does.

獨眼巨人可能不是真實存在的，但人們眼中的獨眼巨人卻是真實的。

We're talking about none other than the Cyclopean Walls, massive stone fortifications fitted tightly together without mortars.

我們說的不是別的，正是基克洛佩恩城牆（Cyclopean Walls），這些巨大的石頭防禦工事在沒有迫擊炮的情況下緊密結合在一起。

They're so impressive that an ancient Greek traveler Pausanias believed they could only have been built by the one-eyed Thracian race of giants, the Cyclopes.

它們是如此令人印象深刻，以至於古希臘旅行家保薩尼亞斯（Pausanias）認為，它們只能由獨眼的色雷斯巨人--獨眼巨人建造。

But in reality, these walls were built by Mycenaeans to fortify their walls in the Late

但實際上，這些城牆是邁錫尼人在晚期為加固城牆而修建的。

Now called Cyclopean masonry, this technique is just brilliant engineering, manpower, and organization.

這種技術現在被稱為獨眼巨人砌築法，是一項傑出的工程、人力和組織技術。

It's also believed the Mycenaeans were able to develop these unique structures after studying other civilizations like Egyptians and Hittites.

人們還認為，邁錫尼人是在學習了埃及人和赫梯人等其他文明之後，才發展出這些獨特的結構的。

These structures can be found in places like Italy, Crete, and Greece.

在意大利、克里特島和希臘等地都能找到這些建築。

Even if you're not a Greek mythology buff, you've probably heard of Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, brother of Menelaus, who led the Greeks to war against Troy when Helen was taken.

即使你不是希臘神話迷，你也可能聽說過阿伽門農，他是邁錫尼的國王，墨奈勞斯的兄弟，在海倫被擄走後，他帶領希臘人向特洛伊開戰。

Yep, the same guy who sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia before setting sail for Troy.

沒錯，就是這個人在啟程前往特洛伊之前犧牲了自己的女兒伊菲革尼婭。

His tale is famously told in Homer's Iliad, but did he really exist?

他的故事在荷馬史詩《伊利亞特》中廣為流傳，但他真的存在嗎？

Well, historically, the city of Mycenae exists.

Archaeologists have uncovered a tomb and gold mask, famously dubbed the Mask of Agamemnon.

考古學家發現了一座墳墓和黃金面具，這就是著名的 "阿伽門農面具"。

But does this mean the man behind the myth existed?

但這是否意味著神話背後的那個人確實存在？

那座墳墓比他所謂的時間還要早。

So Agamemnon might not be a total myth, but he's not exactly proven history yet.

是以，阿伽門農也許並不完全是個神話，但他還不能完全證明歷史。

This legendary Assyrian queen was so iconic.

這位傳奇的亞述王后是如此具有代表性。

Her story echoed across cultures, blurring the line between myth and fact.

她的故事在不同文化間迴盪，模糊了神話與事實之間的界限。

Semiramis might sound like pure myth, but she's actually inspired by a real-life Neo-Assyrian queen Shammuramat.

塞米拉米斯聽起來像是純粹的神話，但實際上她的靈感來源於現實生活中的新亞述女王沙姆拉瑪特。

She was the wife of Shamshi-Aded V and mother of Aded-Nirari III.

她是沙姆希-阿德五世的妻子和阿德-尼拉里三世的母親。

Greek historians say Semiramis ruled after the death of her husband King Ninus, expanding his empire dramatically, building the walls of Babylon, and controlling great armies.

希臘歷史學家說，賽米拉米斯在丈夫尼努斯國王死後統治了巴比倫帝國，大大擴張了帝國版圖，修建了巴比倫城牆，控制了強大的軍隊。

She's often portrayed as a powerful woman in a world dominated by men.

她經常被描繪成一個由男人主宰的世界中的女強人。

Shammuramat likely ruled in place of her younger son, wielding rare power for a woman of her era.

夏木拉瑪特很可能代替她的小兒子執政，在她那個時代的女性中擁有罕見的權力。

So while legends embellished her tale, her impact was definitely real.

是以，雖然傳說美化了她的故事，但她的影響絕對是真實的。

You may not know all the details about this ancient king, but you must have heard the phrase, Rich as Croesus.

你可能不知道這位古代國王的所有細節，但你一定聽說過 "富可敵國 "這句話。

Croesus ruled Lydia around the 6th century BCE and was said to have hoarded unimaginable wealth, which was somehow linked to the King Midas myth.

克羅埃索斯約在公元前 6 世紀統治呂底亞，據說他囤積了難以想象的財富，這與邁達斯王神話有著某種聯繫。

但他的名聲並不僅僅與黃金有關。

In Herodotus' story, he learns the hard way from the Athenian sage Solon that money doesn't guarantee happiness.

在希羅多德的故事中，他從雅典聖人梭倫那裡學到了一個艱難的道理：金錢並不能保證幸福。

不過，克羅埃索斯並不只是一個傳說。

Archaeological and textual evidence confirm that this super-rich king ruled from the city of Sardis and may have clashed with Cyrus the Great of Persia.

考古和文字證據證實，這位超級富豪國王曾在撒狄城統治，並可能與波斯的居魯士大帝發生過沖突。

The real source of his wealth likely came from taxes and not from Midas' golden touch.

他財富的真正來源可能是稅收，而不是邁達斯的金手指。

Homer is the name behind two literary masterpieces of ancient Greece, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

荷馬是古希臘兩部文學鉅著《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》的作者。

We have tales of the Trojan War and Odysseus' wild journey home thanks to Homer.

荷馬為我們講述了特洛伊戰爭和奧德修斯的瘋狂歸途。

However, nobody knows if he was a real person.

然而，沒有人知道他是否是一個真實的人。

Some scholars believe he was a blind bard from the 8th century BCE, maybe from Ionia, since the poems use Ionic dialect.

一些學者認為他是公元前 8 世紀的盲人吟遊詩人，可能來自愛奧尼亞，因為詩中使用的是愛奧尼亞方言。

Others believe Homer was just a name for a group of storytellers who passed down oral traditions.

還有人認為荷馬只是一群口耳相傳的說書人的名字。

Some even suggest the works were written by a woman or different authors, given the shift in tone in both epics.

鑑於兩部史詩基調的轉變，有人甚至認為這兩部作品是由一位女性或不同的作者所寫。

There's even a clan on the island of Chios claiming Homer as their ancestor.

希俄斯島上甚至有一個部族聲稱荷馬是他們的祖先。

Real or not, Homer's legacy is undeniable.

不管是不是真的，荷馬的遺產是不可否認的。

We've all heard epic tales of Spartans, the fearless warriors trained from childhood to be unstoppable.

我們都聽過斯巴達人的史詩般的故事，他們是無所畏懼的戰士，從小就被訓練得不可阻擋。

Movies like 300 make them out to be incredibly ripped fighters who never flinch, even in the face of death.

像《300》這樣的電影把他們塑造成即使面對死亡也毫不退縮的彪悍戰士。

We know the Spartans were tough, just not exactly as Hollywood paints them.

我們知道斯巴達人很強悍，但並不完全像好萊塢描繪的那樣。

Their training system, known as a goge, focused on teamwork and discipline rather than on direct military combat.

他們的訓練系統被稱為 "格格"，注重團隊合作和紀律，而不是直接的軍事戰鬥。

It was mostly about shaping citizens who would sacrifice everything for Sparta.

這主要是為了塑造為斯巴達犧牲一切的公民。

Formal military training probably started at adulthood.

正式的軍事訓練可能從成年開始。

While they were physically fit, what made Spartans really dangerous was their unity and precision on the battlefield.

雖然斯巴達人體格健壯，但他們真正危險的地方在於戰場上的團結和精確。

不過，他們也不是戰無不勝的。

Their rigid practice eventually failed when a more flexible army outmaneuvered them.

他們僵化的做法最終失敗了，因為一支更加靈活的軍隊戰勝了他們。

In a few moments, you will be dead, but Greece will live.

片刻之後，你將死去，但希臘將存活。

The word narcissism is tossed around quite often, but did you know it originated from

自戀這個詞經常被人提起，但你知道嗎？

It all goes back to a young man named Narcissus who was so breathtakingly handsome that people fell in love with him almost instantly.

這一切都要追溯到一個名叫納西索斯的年輕人，他英俊得令人窒息，人們幾乎立刻就愛上了他。

But Narcissus rejected everyone, including the poor nymph Echo, who faded away from heartbreak.

但納西索斯拒絕了所有人，包括可憐的仙女回聲，她因心碎而消逝了。

The gods didn't take his arrogance lightly and cursed him.

眾神沒有輕視他的傲慢，對他進行了詛咒。

He eventually withered away, dying for his own love, and a flower, named after him, bloomed where he died.

他最終枯萎了，為自己的愛情而死，在他死去的地方開出了一朵以他的名字命名的花。

This myth gave rise to the term narcissism, which describes a personality disorder based around self-importance.

這個神話催生了 "自戀 "一詞，它描述的是一種以自我為中心的人格障礙。

Alexander was only 20 when he became king of Macedon, and by 30, he had already conquered much of the known world.

亞歷山大成為馬其頓國王時只有 20 歲，到 30 歲時，他已經征服了已知世界的大部分地區。

He crushed mighty Persia, took Egypt, and pushed all the way to India without losing one battle.

他擊潰了強大的波斯，佔領了埃及，並一路推進到印度，未嘗一敗。

While some chalk it up to luck, Alexander was indeed a tactical genius who outsmarted his enemies.

雖然有人將其歸結為運氣，但亞歷山大確實是一位智勝敵人的戰術天才。

He reshaped civilization, founded many cities, and became a living legend.

他重塑了文明，建立了許多城市，成為活著的傳奇。

It's said he even believed he was the son of Zeus.

據說他甚至相信自己是宙斯的兒子。

But behind the image, some say he struggled with substance use and had a violent temper.

但在形象的背後，有人說他曾濫用藥物，脾氣暴躁。

He likely wasn't towering or bulky in appearance.

他的外表可能並不高大或笨重。

Then, when he died from a mysterious illness without naming a successor, his empire couldn't stand without him.

後來，他在沒有指定繼承人的情況下神祕病逝，他的帝國沒有他就無法立足。
