@@sashawolfson3602 that just how sane Zeus is, he may be a playboy who can’t put it in his pant but at least he is a good god in general, not some psychopath that they make him become in God of War.
I assume Zeus can change to many forms and sizes. And that his size in Olympus is a lot bigger than what his size was as the mortal man. So when he impregnated the princess the fetus was puny compared to his legs and even right before birth it wasn't very noticeable. I assume most gods thought he was bitten by a mosquito from the underworld or something.
Hera's wrath was understandable I would be the Same if my spouse cheated on me, but she went to far for hurting all those poor girls and even the children.
Most of those girls knew he was a married God, so I think they asked for the fates they got but the children is where I draw the line after all they didn't get a choice in the matter.
The 2nd time Zeus became a pregnant man. Dionysus was the god of wine and ecstasy, but he was also of madness, festivals/parties, and theaters. His Roman name is Baachus. We all know that Apollo was bi but Dionysus is also categorized as lgbt. What is the reasons for that?
I’m not sure I understood the question correctly but I would imagine that because the Greeks noticed that some people were homosexual etc. and they viewed it as normal so they wanted to reflect that in they’re gods. It fascinates me that thousands of years ago a biologically rooted behaviour was totally acceptable yet today there is a considerable number of people who see it as unnatural. In some aspects humanity did evolve backwards.

Some people thinks that goddess Hera Is evil but the thing is any woman will do stuf like Hera if their in her position. And I also think she needs to get a divorce form her husband. She deserve someone better.
The reason that zesus keeps cheating on his wife Hera is because HERA is his sister. They literally have the same parents Zesus will not be faithful to someone that shares the same mom and dad. That is mad gross. That is the reason why Zeus is sleeping around with different woman. And Hera is madly inlove with her brother which is just sick. Zeus is a free man and have every right to sleep who he wants. Hera needs to get a man of her own and who isn’t her brother.
And these are the God's we are still worshipping today. 😮 we need to see these stories for what they are really showing us. That we as humans need to love, honor, and respect ourselves and not expect it to come from external people places or things. A k.a.( the gods)

In reality Dionysos was son of Juno (Hera) and Zeus. Dionysos is Seti 1 from egyptians. Dionysos, Apollo and Artemis were the 3 children of Juno or Hera or Leto and Zeus or Jupiter...
Now you get coupons for helping....not his powers...you learn to live and not want...and learn and grow....than grow old and die....sleep is your friend...evil is a suit...that feel in battle and blinded destroys ignorance and brings structure.... honor is to those who choose when they can and starve when they should....
Polygamy is practiced in ancient times, and then Zeus : "Lets go for it", Hera the god of *MARRIAGE* and childbirth, does NOT accept polygamy. Everytime zeus gets a new wife Hera jumps in with jealousy and ends them, those poor wives carried their child, and died. so when they die, Zeus takes their child, then they became an olympian god everytime.
@@blueeyedduelist6412 Yeah, but the last time she tried that; they ended up fighting over who should take over Zeus place. And since Zeus have Metis wisdom inside of himself; He's not gonna to make that mistake A again.

I stood by Athena, holding A ring. Me: With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way through darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.
Semele was a fool. She could have asked for anything but asked to see him in his true form? Child, I would have asked to be made a goddess. Give me eternal youth and life.
In the end she did, when Dionysus became a god, she is now the mother of a divinity, so Dionysus was allowed to bring her out of the Underworld to Olympus.
Semele was an earth goddess, Zeus represents the sky and their union creates Dionysus, a god linked to vegetation, Greek mythology is very symbolic
I love that someone else knows that mythology is symbolic!
Analysis of the true meaning behind myth is often overlooked

True that. Every pantheon has symbolic meaning in its legends. That’s why I love reading about every pantheon their gods And the legends
I love the fact that Greek mythology has a god for every single thing
Indian gods too
It's called Animism.
Me Too.
They even have a Deez, the goddess of ligma.

The story of Dionysus starts out as many stories do. With Zeus cheating on his wife.
These comics get better and better I love watching your videos they’re so much fun
"Once again having one of his extramarital affair" cracked me. He said it with a straight voice. Gosh
Zeus cheated his wife, his wife got angry and showed her hatred on poor innocent woman😕😕😢
I don't think she could do anything to punish zeus
All the time.
Put that on repeat for like 100 times and it tells the origins of all the offsprings of Zeus
Zeus: If it's move I can F**k
My thoughts exactly. Like why not punish the cheating husband too?
Dionysus and Ariadne are my favorite couple💜 Their so underrated!
Didn’t she cheat on him with Theseus.

She can't hurt Zeus because he's too powerful and because she's the Goddess of marriage she can't cheat.
