The Story of The Last Man of his tribe
I like the the flower nose on him💮
What mountain did they go on?
Mount Dindymum to appease Rhea (: (hope you meant this!)
I think one of the biggest themes that stood out to me regarding The Bacchae when I read it was a cynic warning for humans to not expect certain things of the Greek gods, or they will bring the unexpected. Dionysus essentially is one of the main forces of the Greek gods on the way to punish Cadmus's family for things Cadmus did in the past (its a looong story), and the main reason why Dionysus is there to punish Pentheus and Cadmus's family...is because they are taking advantage of the Greek populations belief in the gods for their own desires, as well as completely disregarding that the gods exist. Pentheus doesn't believe in Dionysus's divinity, humiliates Dio publicly as well as persecuting him and his followers (that actually do believe in the divinity of the gods), and violates the secrecy of the Greek mysteries by sneaking into seeing what he shouldn't. So, Pentheus is severely punished for it. Pentheus's mother is punished for spreading a serious rumor that questioned the divinity of a new god (and therefore the greek's belief in the existance of the gods) and is punished by dismembering Pentheus in the same manner Dionysus was killed as a child (his mother had him riped apart and dismembered). Lastly, Cadmus is punished for being a hypocrite: he celebrates in worshiping the gods, but he doesn't really believe that Dio exists. He just wants the perks of worshiping him. He also has the gall to believe that gods should behaive in a certain way (he thinks he knows the gods better than the gods themselves), and is forced to watch his family self destruct.

so fun listening to someone talking about something they like!

Wonderful job and wonderful doodles!!!
Thank you!! (:
Is there a deeper reason for semele to have vitaligo, or random character choice?
It's Ariadne! And it's just my character choice, it felt right (:
@zaireeto oh mb. Looks nice. I typically like to use vitaligo for characters related to bovine, as it makes them look like cows.
I like how Bata-literally self-castrated and heart-less-still survives safe and sound...
He is a trooper 💪😄

Awesome
Great Job again
Thank you! (:
@ i would be great if you could do the Story of Wenamun
@egyptian_revival i'll look into it! (:
@@zaireeto it’s a funny story because it’s shows how Egyptian saw them selfs as more special compared to other people and because wenamun wants to get wood from the king of Byblos for free because he is Egyptian ……..the king refuses and wenamun starts crying …….this shows how the power of Egypt was fading in the later periods
Yep, gods never mess around, and greek gods in special are very vengeful, from turning a girl into salt, to having an eagle eat the insides of a titan every day, and now this, geez, and people usually say aztec and norse gods were vicious, but greeks are something else, man... Btw, a very late happy new year, Zaireeto, I hope nothing but the best for you.🤙🏽
Yup definitely People sometimes leave them out, but I haven't seen pettier gods (affectionate) Happy late new year to you too! (:
A different version I heard is that Zephyr, a wind god, was jealous and blew the discus at Hyacinthus.

I wonder what this account was meant to symbolize? I know Sekhmet is the goddess of disease, so maybe her slaughter could've been a metaphor for her ability to inflict plagues, or something like that.
I think she can be both counted as goddess or disease, but also of war and destruction, which would fit into this? Gods usually have multiple aspects then
1:48 Redbull! It gives you wiiings lol.
Lmao, Setne's name is so fitting for him, especially with how much chaos he displays in this story, lol. His name is literally a reference to the god of chaos.
Oh yeah! :D
Gonna be honest, Ctirad was the only character in that story that I liked. Everyone else, man or woman, came across as a sexist, bloodthirsty jerk. But then, a lot of medieval and ancient characters tend to fare pretty poorly from a modern perspective. In either case, the storybook like animation was neat. Nice detailing on the shading.
Thank you! With old stories, you kind of have to accept that most were terrible people, but they are fun to read about :')
My birthday is the day after his festival, no wonder i like him.😊
4:19 The point being... We got to exterminate men because they're arrogant and vengeful while we (Vlasta and Co.) aren't any better?
This is quite nice! Excellent use of the animation style
Thank you! (:
You'd think Niobe would know better, given her brother was the lover of a god for quite some time. I'll let people do their own research on that 😂
"Prometheus Bound" is a play you wouldn't expect from Aeschylus, who's usually very respectful of the traditional gods (unlike Euripides, who's much more likely to comment that the old myths can't be true because real gods wouldn't behave like that). Of course, the play is but the first part of a trilogy. The next two plays are sadly lost to us, so we can't tell how Aeschylus intended to tell the rest of the story.
I agree! Definitely one of my favourites for him because of this reason Sadly :( i am still hoping we may find something in the future either in Egypt (like the recent Euripides fragments) or by reading the scrolls from Herculaneum (as far as I know the person who owned the library favoured one specific philisopher above all else, but here is to hoping :'))
but isnt the message of this play that you cant disrepect the gods? doesnt seem really out of character for aeschylus. of course we sympathize with prometheus but at the end of the day he is suffering this punishment and i feel like the audience in those times would take this as a warning to respect the gods at all times cause they can just imprison Prometheus (the powerful titan that gave humans knowledge) and make him suffer

Love this story of Egyptian History/Mythology Major props from Ireland 🇮🇪 Go raibh math agàt.
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
I always love watching your videos! You make mythology very fun to learn and your art gives it a great life❤💙!
Thank you so much!! This is so sweet ❤️❤️
So that is what the Apostles were casting out in their travels.
Atleast she has an element named after her. Niobium is named after niobe, just as tantalum was named after tantalus. The chemist who sorta second discovered it also discovered other alloys he mistakenly thought to be elements which he named after pelops, the other son of tantalus, whos also father of atreus and by extension the grandfather of Agamemnon I just found your channel now and its super cool. Honestly i was surprised at how underrated you are. Looking forward to new vids
Oh that is really cool! I didn't know. In my language we localise it ro Niob and Tantal and I just never connected the dots :D Thank you! <3
Amo este estilo de dibujo, además de que la voz me parece bastante agradable
Muchas Gracias <3
i didn't know the details about Niobe's lineage, that's super interesting!
She has a reason to boast :D
@zaireeto it really does do a lot to explain where her hubris comes from!
In fiction, it's not uncommon for characters to be too dumb to live. But in Greek Mythology, you can actually be dumb enough to cause the death of your entire family. (Niobe doesn't even hold the record. Aegyptus caused the death of 49 of his 50 sons by telling them to marry the Danaids, who were, shall we say, less than happy about it.)
Hubris and 0 wisdom go well together :') Oh yes i have read the suppliants! May make a video about them eventually

@@zaireeto "The Suppliants" is an interesting play. Of all the Greek tragedies that have reached us, it's the only one where the chorus plays the protagonists (in "The Eumenides", it plays the antagonists, but the rest of the time, it does little but comment on the action). Unfortunately, "The Suppliants" must have been the first part of a trilogy and the rest is lost to us.
A great video as always !!!
Thank you!! <3
Whoo!
🥳🥳
Glad find your channel. My mom named me after Cyrene. I have been wanting to learn about her story
Lovely name! (:
@zaireeto thank you
YALL KEEP FORGETTING THAT SETH GOD PREGNANT. ):<
Why those ugly terrible drawings?
Ovid's version of this myth exists for the sole purpose of blaming every single one of Apollo's partner's deaths on Apollo, I swear. I personally learned the Zephyr version, but having Apollo be so incredibly prone to accidental murder is pretty funny too
He just can't keep his lovers alive :')
I "knew" about the myth but from the german name, Rubezähl, but Krakonoš sounds cooler, I'm always in awe on how pretty slavic languages sound, haha... Anyway, another great video, looking foward new slavic myths in the future, btw, just to leave it here, you have the one of the sweetest/cutest voices I've heard, omg, you should be a singer or something.
Krakonoš sounds cooler!! And oh my, thank you so much!! 😳❤️ I am a terrible singer tho hahah
