      Dude, don't take better help sponsorships if you read the fine print they admit they they do not check any of their "therapist" for actual licenses and that you can't sue them if you get a fake therapist that diagnoses you and ruins your life due to the medication they recommended hurting you.

      @@Dice_roller Intelligence doesn't mean you can remember the name of hundreds of spawnlings. You can be smart and still be bad with names, especially if you're dealing with hundreds of different people. I speak as someone with an IQ of 139, that took 6 months to learn the name of the guy who sat next to me in a club that only had 5 other members and still doesn't know the names of half the names of the people in the club I manage now even though it's only 12 people.
      Also, considering Zeus's track record for doing spectacularly dumb things on a regular basis, I question Hesiodos' sincerity on the subject. I'd be inclined to give the title of smartest god in the Greek pantheon to a more rational diety like Athena or Prometheus. And again, even if he really is the smartest, it's not like he's the god of memory, so expecting to remember the names of his hundreds of kids is asking a bit much of him I think.

      @user-tw3rh9po4t 2 місяці тому +19

      I’ve mentioned it once before, but if they somehow wanted to make the usage of Hercules somehow accurate to mythology, they would’ve made it so that Hercules kept it because of his trauma from Hera and refusing to be named “Glory of Hera”, since that didn’t exactly save him from her wrath. Then again, he didn’t decide on the name of Heracles in the first place.
      It would be inaccurate in name, but much more accurate than Hades being a main villain. Hades is far from a nice guy, but there are better candidates for main villains from Greek Mythology.

    My best guess for why the Roman name for Heracles is more commonly used is because Hollywood made it the more popular version with the earlier movies and then Disney established it in everyone's mind as his one true name. The only time I had even heard of the name Heracles in media was in the movie the Spirit. For whatever reason most people connect more with his Roman name. It might have something to do with the rise of Roman Catholicism over the centuries. Which could also explain why they blend Christian mythology in with Greek lore.

      Not only that, but there is no story with Apollo riding the sun chariot while doing other stuff. During the day he is always on Earth doing stuff, for example in the Iliad he was a active participant of the trojan war, while Helios pulled the chariot. The same goes for the Odyssey and this is in the very end of greek mythology. So Apollo never took the sun chariot since Helios is the sun god during the last stories of greek myth.

    I do think its important to point out that it makes sense for some characters to have similar names to other greek mythological characters, realistically you can't expect a single person to have their own name exist in a vacuum because people historically and presently share similar or the same names. Also I do think it makes sense to have some abrahamic influence on the show, mainly because Abrahamic religions were heavily influenced by Hellenistic religions and borrowed allegories and concepts from Classical Hellenistic philosophy.
    And the Greeks did a similar thing by linking older deities with newer ones, like making Pan the son of Hermes even though Hermes was likely an offshoot of Pan who eventually became his own deity. So I kind of like seeing it a lot.

    @TheMythologyGuy1 the creator you was confused between being a maticor or a chymera was more then likely a griffin, which I did look it up , it is a greek creature, they appear in early Grecian art, griffins were depicted pulling the chariots of Apollo and Nemesis. They were also considered to be the "hounds" of Zeus, so that's probably what it was supposed to be, hope it helps

    16:34 isn’t Selene responsible for that? Along with helios for the sun? Artemis and Apollo were considered deities of moonlight and sunlight respectively I think

      Yes.
      You know, it's pretty ironic seeing Mythology Guy who is and has compared several pieces of media to their original stories and their inaccuracies when he, himself, says inaccuracies.

    You will be happy to know that one entertainment media actually calls Heracles by his name Heracles as well as taking inspiration for a battle against a hydra by burning its stumps once it's been cut off. The shows called Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation. The two I've listed is about the only connection the show has to Greek Mythology

    Atalanta was a Greek hero who was nursed by a bear as a baby, and Arcas was almost a close second (or first, not sure if the myth of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor was before or after but still), because his mother Callisto was turned into a bear shortly after giving birth to Arcas, either by Hera as punishment for bearing (no pun intended) another bastard son of Zeus, or Artemis as punishment for breaking her oath in staying a virgin to be in her retinue, and the reason that wasn't the case for Arcas was because in most versions Zeus hid Arcas away and placed him in the care of Callisto's father, Lycaon, the king of Arcadia, so as far as I can tell he never got nursed by a bear the way Atalanta did. Sounds like yet another thread woven into this show.

    Personally I’ve seen both that it was the cape and cap that granted invisibility.
    The cape from Wikipedia and the cap from Percy Jackson.
    Another thing to note:also according to Wikipedia Hermes main weapon isn’t the cadeuceus,it’s a harpe(mix between a sickle and sword) which he apparently gave to Perseus?as far as I’ve seen it checks out.
    Though I’d like to see sources for that,especially the harpe thing since it could be a fun thing in my story.
