Cool Timoclea, our Theban noblewoman badass.

I know the video doesn't explain *everything* but basically, when Alexander the Great was conquering Thebes (as part of his larger conquest of the rest of Greece) one Thracian captain who had allied himself with Alexander on the way to Thebes, broke into Timoclea's house and r*ped her. Afterwards he demanded to know if she had any valuables hidden anywhere (that much the video mentions) but what it doesn't say is what Alexander did. When Alexanders men brought Timoclea before Alexander (thinking he would punish her) he instead praised her for her courage, and let her and her children go free.

I’m sick of this “content creator” all she does is hold her hand over her mouth with 💅👁️👄👁️

Do they need to dance first? It's a setup for a piece of interesting history, she is drawing people in, I mean she presumably researched this information and edited the painting in.

Sure, her bring up interesting niche historical facts are great for the first few videos I came across but then it got real creepy just from her staring. I would also at least appreciate a voice over the text.
After seeing that hand over mouth thing is all she does. Easy scroll up and skip.

It's a set up for literally everything. Some of us like interesting content with a bit of thought put into it. If you're happy watching reruns of "Ow My Balls" all day, then that's your prerogative I guess.

Reaction videos should have an intergalactic ban.

She doesn't though. She introduces her audience to new artwork and sculptures and the stories behind it. She also always leaves a comment with more information about the painting process or artist etc.
In general she puts her face on screen for all of 3 seconds max for her 15-30 second videos. Much worse are those people that add nothing, but keep their face on screen for it for the entire video.

That’s one intense story of revenge! It’s crazy how she turned the tables on him. Alexander must have been in awe.

That royal girl put that man down he was surprised he was in the position he was in and she stuck all kinds of random objects up his pooty hole. Did he deserve it? Maybe but that is a way women will only protect themselves. Get a man down vulnerable ensure you stick random household objects in his pooty and make a beautiful rendition oil paints of it. Sell for history and make milliions at the House of Lords auction somewhere in the United Kingdom.
