Good morning everyone,
Today I want to show you a Youtube video channel created by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), which explains the myth of the Odyssey and the historical context of this story. With an audiovisual medium, and in the form of a short film, this company perfectly explains the reason of this history in particular in Ancient Greece, and its social impact on the thinking of the time.
The video is 56:36 mins long and has 40 views and 0 likes/dislikes and also 0 comments. Taking into account that the video was posted on February 9th of 2018, it does not seem like an absolute disaster. In addition YouTube is not a social network in which it must be taken into account the likes / dislikes and comments of the videos; since users see hundreds of videos a day and very few think of giving it a like or comment unless they have enjoyed a lot. I suppose the fact that the video lasts almost 1 hour; it also determines the views and that the users do not hold until the end of it to assess whether they liked it or not. It's a real shame because the video is very well done and the story is very well told.
The video is so special and understanding because it is told in form of story so you follow all the explanation until the end. But nevertheless I think the company have not given its video the enough promotion. It has been published by an individual user, maybe it is a pirate video and I have not noticed. It would probably be why the company has not taken over this multimedia content. On YouTube it is impossible to control that, you never know.
Anyway I recommend to watch it if you want to learn more about the Odyssey.
If you are interested in another video about myths I also recommend you to watch this one, about the story of The King Edipo.
