00:00Hello, dear friends, welcome to my channel, in this video, I will talk about the legend of the Olympiad fire, which is a world-famous legend
00:16. In ancient times, some animals were given extraordinary powers and legends were made on them.
00:29One of these animals is Chimera. Chimera is from the same family as the shark and the octopus fish.
00:40400 million years ago, they evolved from shark fish and left.
00:49They live in the depths of the seas and oceans.
00:54It is a little scary in appearance. For this reason, this fish is called the ghost fish, the ghost dog fish, and the sea cat.
01:09It has a long, soft body and a large head.
01:15Chimera, which is found in ancient Greek and Hittite mythologies, is one of the children of demon monsters named Echidna and Tipon, according to Ionian poet and historian Hesiodos.
01:29In addition to its mortality and frightening feature, it is a female monster known for its ominous nature.
01:37This monster has three heads.
01:40A lion head that can spit fire from its mouth on the front, a goat head that comes out of its back, and a snake head on the tail.
01:53The lion's head makes it strong, the goat's head makes it smart, and the snake's head makes it cunning.
02:03This monster lives in Lycia and terrorizes this region.
02:09It constantly spits fire, burns forests, and makes it difficult to live in the country.
02:18The Kingdom of Lycia has not been able to make it ineffective, even though it has fought this monster many times.
02:27King of Ephira, Hipponnes, son of Glaucus, kills his brother Beleros in a hunting party while hunting in the forest.
02:38After this incident, Hipponnes is named Beleropontes, which means Belerosian.
02:46King of Ephira, Glaucus, does not forgive the brother killer Beleropontes, who killed his son, and sends him to the King of Argos.
02:56The wife of King of Argos, Proitos, is arrested by Antea Beleropontes.
03:02However, Beleropontes, who has a young man in his mind, does not allow the woman to get rid of him.
03:09On top of that, Antea tells her husband Proitos that Beleropontes is trying to rape him and wants him to kill the young man.
03:20However, Proitos is afraid of committing murder, so he sends this criminal to his father-in-law, the King of Lycia, with a message.
03:31When the King of Lycia solves the ominous signs in the message sent to him, he assigns three difficult tasks to Beleropontes.
03:41Beleropontes's first task is to kill Chimera, his second task is to fight against the famous Solimler race, and his third task is to defeat the Amazons.
03:55Beleropontes, with his first task to kill Chimera, gets on his horse called Pegasus and goes straight to the Olympus mountains.
04:05They meet in a region between Kemer and Kumuluca.
04:11When Chimera attacks Beleropontes, Pegasus takes off and, as he descends to the ground at lightning speed,
04:19Beleropontes buries Chimera, who attacked him with his spear, seven floors below the ground.
04:27Chimera, like his mother and father, begins to continue his life under the ground.
04:35After this war, Chimera continues to spread flames from seven floors below the ground to the earth.
04:44These flames, which come out of the stones in Kemer, Kumuluca, day and night, are the flames that Chimera sprays from the bottom of seven floors.
04:57After this magnificent victory of Beleropontes, there is great joy in the Kingdom of Lycia.
05:04The people, who took their spears in their hands, flock to this region.
05:09With these flames coming out of the ground, they ignite the torches and start walking and running towards the city center.
05:19Over time, these rituals begin to be repeated and various competitions begin to be held in the anniversaries of this historical event.
05:29The Olympic Games, which are held once every four years, and the Olympic fire that is burned in these Olympics are the reason for the anniversary of this historical victory.
