    An obscure Greek mythological figure, at least in our era, is Hermaphreditus. Boy, is his mythology a trip, and I've only been exposed to one or two stories about him.
    As for an Egyptian figure that really deserves more attention, I recommend looking into Ptah, the Egyptian God of Creation. When one of your monikers is "the Unmade Creator," you know things are gonna get pretty crazy.

    Eris/Discord is my _actual_ Goddess as a Wiccan, and she featured in an actual animated movie (Sinbad, 2003), among lots of other pop culture appearances. She has he own active current "religion" too in modern day Erisians/Discordians you can look into. She seems like just some minor Goddess that just did the one thing with the apple, but considering who her parents might have been, she very well could have been a Major Goddess too.

    • @Xebelan
      @Xebelan Місяць тому +2

      Nebt Het, Nepthys, is the goddess of Death, Mercy, Joy and Mourning but not ghosts as such in the way the Greeks interpret them. She was used in heka against Muut, unjustified dead, to force them to behave or to answer questions-- but so is Ra, but in a different manner.
      She is considered the most beautiful of all the Netjeru in her calm state, so lovely that she dons a long golden veil lest all work cease in her presence for the staring-- and she's also the most terrible in combat, white and bloodless as a stone statue, personification of the tomb with no exit, her braids long and entangling/strangling like mummy wrappings, her eyes flame and fire pouring from her mouth-- there she is Death, her name written in red ink, and you are finished.
      In her first birth, she is the daughter of Bat, the cosmos, who strides out of nothingness uncreated with her as Autibet, the bringer of joy, clasped at her waist like a belt of stars. In her second, she is the celestial Nile, the Milky Way, the daughter of Hapi along with her sister Aset, who is the physical Nile. Ra here, upon looking at her splashing in the water at play with Aset, decided her nature as stardust and light was more befitting his nature as king-- and thus Married her-- giving us the first birth of Anpu, Anubis, son of Ra. (this angered Aset for multiple reasons) Later, at her birth as Geb and Nut's daughter, she finally is allowed to wed and be with her longtime love, Set, lord of storms, who took birth beside her to do so. etc
      I could go on. but Egyptian myth is more akin to Indian than Greek myth-- each god has multiple incarnations, death is a transformation and not a finality for all of them, even the arrangement of the offering table brings to mind an abishek over a lingam with the table as yoni with its dripping spout, rather than the horned, ash and blood smeared altars of others.

    • @noahhodges7697
      @noahhodges7697 Місяць тому +7

      Yeah that's the interesting thing. Hades gets combined with Zeus and Posiedon a lot in older myths because there's no mention of him and hence probably didn't exist in proto-greek culture. Historians suspect its because myths that are attributed to Hades nowadays had to contend with what was probably centuries of codified myth that had already been attributed to the other two, causing for weird scenarios like the one mentioned in this video. It's my personal opinion that its safe to hand Zag and Mel off to Hades properly because of that

    There is a little more info on Melinoe from archaeological evidence. If you're interested, look up the article "Another view of the Pergamon divination kit" by Richard Gordon, which talks about divination tools discovered in Turkey. One of the tools is a triangle with 3 goddesses depicted on it, each with the name of a goddess written above and below them. Each of the goddesses has a connection to the moon and may be interpreted to have the ability to send souls/daimons back to the underworld. With that in mind, the half white/half black limbs may be a reference to the moon, specifically the phases halfway between new moon and full moon. /extreme nerdery

    It was GOW that got me into norse mythology in the first place, the Jon Solo got me way into mythology and folklore. Now im a folk and mytho nerd (if that's what you can call it. Im still new) i like learning about the fey, other all types of folklore and mythology. Right now im interested in Norse Mythology but i hope to learn more about the European folklores and tales. Maby even study in college. Im 15 i dunno if i can do that but itd be fun.😂

    Jon I am such a fan of yours, which is saying something because I usually am hesitant about dudes who talk about mythology and are rolling my eyes so far back that I can see the back of my head. I appreciate the diversity and citing of your sources, plus your dry sarcasm is just *chef's kiss* I do want to give a little "criticism?" "Feedback?" Whatever you want to call it. I think it's more of just a lack of perspective, and the fact that you perhaps have never had to think of things this way which isn't a bad thing! Regarding your comment about Demeter and previous ones about Artemis, I think you have to take into consideration how the Greeks viewed women and how the writers of the myths were men which I'm sure you're aware of (and how assault practically gallops through 90% of the myths), with this in mind I want to pose a thought experiment: Say you are the brother of a goddess, a brother who actually views his sister as a living being with thoughts and feelings of her own--super rare in this context I know but go with it. You're aware that you are indeed in the minority of gods who think this way, and you are even more aware of how both gods and human men think of women and goddesses...and are fully aware that the goddesses and human women know this. With me so far? Need a snack? Go get one. You good? Awesome, let's continue. So as this god--we'll say you're a god of stories and patron of good doggos--you come home and find your sister has returned from bathing with her nymphs or maybe you come home to find your mother has just returned from hiding your sister in a random cave. Your sister says that she had a dude sneak up on her and just kept staring at her, she knew he was a hunter because of his bow or spear or whatever and she also knew that this area was really far away from the nearest village. What else could she have thought except that "I am in danger and need to do something," or perceive him as a threat? As her brother you probably would have thought she was too nice knowing what men and gods do to their female counterparts. Furthermore, you would probably ask if that cave was far enough or deep enough to hide your sister in. I don't want to seem like I'm chastising or I'm one of those unhinged, screaming and yelling man-hating...TERF...woman person (they are *not* feminists, they are an infection), I am a pot stirrer yes but I also know that the only way to have different voices heard is to have a conversation....like sane adults. Anyway sorry for the novel, and as I said I really enjoy your content and you seem like a dude who just loves mythology and want to learn all about it. Keep kicking ass my friend!
