Les Grands Mythes

I made my account just so I could provide this feedback. After watching the English translation on Amazon Prime, it bothered me SO MUCH that they used the Roman name for Odysseus. Does anybody proof these scripts before they pay for dubbing? Considering Season 2 is entirely about The Iliad, it feels like a real miss to use the Roman name of a key Greek hero.

I remember learning about ancient history in school. I remember being fascinated by it. Of course Greek and Roman mythology were a part of that. I remember reading about Perseus and Heracles, Achilles and so on. I remember seeing the movies about greek mythology as a young adult. This series dives in to the real meat of the myths. It connects them to why things are referred to and called like they are today. It corrected some of the things I thought I knew. I'm truly glad I watched this series.

Great Greek Myths is the English translation for this French production. aAt least I think it is French. Why did I give it a 10? Because anything that educates the ignorant masses in this day and age gets a 10 from me. From Athena to Zeus and everything in between, this series covers the story of Gods that existed before Christ. Watch it and learn. The ancients knew a thing about human nature. Amazing that modern humans don't know crap about human nature. We've gone backwards folks, hope y'all are happy.

So I absolutely loved this show, but in the third season they continuously call Odysseus Ulysses. This isn't entirely incorrect except for the fact that it is called "Greek myths". The name Ulysses is the Roman name for the Greek Odysseus, so it should call him Odysseus. Also, some of the times in the godly family tree it does say Odysseus and the narrator still calls him Ulysses. Also, the narrator of season 3 is different than the previous two seasons, which is not necessarily an issue, however, he pronounces a lot of words and names differently. It isn't that big of a deal, but I could understand if some people might be confused about it.

Maybe a tad more nudity than is neccesary, but otherwise superb. While not all encompassing, it had a lot to teach someone who has been a fan of Greek mythology for decades. I would recomend to any student who doesnt have an issue with (artistic depictions) of the human anatomy.
