When morpheus said “it’s morphin time” I felt incredible. Truly one of the gods to exist
I knew there would be this comment
Taking it a step further, I would say he was truly one of the gods to exist “of all time.”
I was searching for this comment
Morbius.
He was made a god, wasn't born one, made one.
Athena actually had a mother. It was Metis who was Zeus's first wife. She was the daughter of a titan but helped the Olympians during the war between the olympians and the titans. After the war, she married Zeus and got pregnant. However, Zeus got a prophecy that having a child with Metis, especially a son, would result with the son taking over Zeus's throne. So, Zeus impulsively swallowed Metis while she was pregnant and gave birth to Athena in Zeus's body. Athena wanted to escape Zeus's body so she kicked the inside of his head which caused Zeus to get a migrane. Hephaestus cut open Zeus's head with an axe which was when Athena popped out. In conclusion, Athena had a mother but her mother was canibbalized by her father while pregnant. Since Athena popped out of Zeus's head, she technically didn't have a mother or something like that. Hope this helps!
Yes!
I don’t think any of that happened bro
@@SaudiSportsScene bruh, it’s Greek mythology which is what ancient Greeks believed and made up so surely it’s not real
@@SaudiSportsScene it's the Greek mythology,stranger things have happened there.
@@SaudiSportsScene it's Greek mythology what do you expect?
Infographics: "Heracles is not on the list because his mother was a mortal."
Infographics ten minutes prior: "Dionysus, his mother was a mortal..."
Heracles was a demigod while Dionysis was a real god and an Olympian. Although, later it is said in some of the myths that after Heracles died Zeus turned him into a god but it is not consistent in all of the myth.
@@arjunathalye4697 Then again, Consistency isnt a strong point in greek mythology and it often varies from version to version
@@arjunathalye4697 Also it looks like his ascending to Olympus is recounted in the homeric hymn to him
Hercules is more like a hero figure than God honestly,
He was not worshipped actually that much, people rarely found his temples or myths related where he had acted as god.
Where dionysus is actually 85% god most probably, because
His maternal grandmother Harmonia was Ares's daughter technically, from Dionysus is Ares's Great grandson,
His father Cadmus was Poseidon's grandson.
So technically Dionysus was a lot more godly than Hercules.
I believe Dionysus although demi-god was still an Olympian
Athena did have a mother: the nymph-Titaness of wisdom, Metis. Zeus had been told a prophecy about Metis, that she would bear him a daughter wiser than her mother and a son stronger than his father, so he tricked her into turning into a fly before swallowing her whole. While he was able to prevent the second part of the prophesy from happening, he was too late to stop the prophecy entirely as he had already impregnated Metis before swallowing her in fly form. Metis birthed and raised Athena inside Zeus' mind before Athena was later born from Zeus' head fully grown.
‘Titaness’, no, the term Titan in Greek Mythos was a title, Métis, is well as the other Titans are gods as well
She actually turned into a drop of water and he swallowed her
That's one myth. Another her mother is rhea
@@-_-user2435 There are a lot of different myths so some may not include that
Zeus one day had a terrible headache and hyphestus hit his head with an axe and athena pop up.. that's how athena came to this world she didn't had a natural birth
Kratos laughing in the corner…
You mean cratus (he killed zeus and heracles)
@@ntplaysytshorts238 I think he means Kratos from the games
Kratos in the games wasn't accurate. And in mythology he was weak I'm pretty sure
@@twixtys3121 its a joke.
@@alexisdrodriguez785 kratos is a. real god because he’s the god of strength
I don't think Zeus and Hades hated each other. they are brothers who defeated the Titans together and they both rule vitally important parts of the world, plus Hades by long tradition was supposed to rule from above but willingly gave up his birthright after drawing sticks with his siblings. Hades got the shortest stick, Zeus the longest. plus it seems they had respect for each other.
This is true 👍
And besides, even if Zeus ruled over the skies, Hades will soon get everything his brothers had as all living beings of earth joins him in Hades
But posidein can control fish and clouds
If we follow the canon of Age of Mythology, it was Poseidon who was very jealous to Zeus and Hades was like "Meh!"
@@Tribrid-zv3nq actually you’re wrong he could do both my guy. You thought you got them huh?
Poseidon is stronger than Hades
You mentioned the Trojan War several times, including that Hera, Aphrodite and Athena had something to do with starting it but you didn't mention Eris! Eris is the one who started that war, I'd say that makes her pretty powerful! She was Nyx's daughter whom you also mentioned.
Starting a war doesn't necessarily make you powerful, but I would definitely put Eris over people like Morpheus
I honestly love how detailed they were with animating Aphrodite and Nyx. They knew exactly what they were doing
Not so much with Nyx. Nyx is the goddess/primordial of night, yes, but not darkness. Her brother, Erebus, is the god/primordial of darkness. Together they made destruction and whatnot
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 My apologies, I meant how detailed their appearance was in this video
@@ThrillSeeker3524 Made my nethier regions look like the dudes arm
@@wulaeofthetengu8336
The Nigh? So like, she makes the sky turn black, but she's not the God of Darkness, her brother is? "Night" is quite an interesting thing to be a God of 😅
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 yeah they had to make Nyx scary cause Zeus was scared of her
Persephone was married to Hades, and this not only gave her power in the Underworld, but also she was treated rather nicely by Hades. Hades is not some terrible, evil deity in actual mythology, he is rather neutral most times, and somewhat benevolent others.
Agreed. Where the other deities were running around causing indiscriminate chaos, death, and who knows what else, Hades was perfectly fine doing the job he was given.
Absolutely Zeus and Poseidon were a lot worse
They said that in the video.
I've always loved their story.
Hades was also faithful to Persephone, which is saying a lot.
Great video, if you make one on strongest greek demigods and monsters I would highly recommend Chrysoar, son of Poseidon and Medusa and Pegasus' twin brother. He's known as the warrior with the golden sword, was practically unbeatable with his swordsman skills, father to a few monsters (and he was considered a monster by the ancient greeks), best friend of Ares, had the ability to turn into a giant or a winged boar, was immortal, and his friendship with Ares was probably the only thing that prevented him from destroying Olympus since he was a tough guy to beat, a few gods ruined and even help end his mother's life and possibly his father might have kidnapped his wife for himself.
I agree with most of the list, Nyx and Tartarus to me are way underranked as they are both Primordial Deitys.
I'm surprised that Nemesis the Primordial Goddess of Vengeance, and Retribution wasn't on here as not only was she Nyx's firstborn child making her the elder sibling of Thanatos, Hypnos, Eris, and the Fates but all 12 Olympians including the big 3 Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades have a healthy mix of fear and respect for her.
Heck according to one myth Hera due to being in one of her infamous Yandere rages convinced herself that Helen as in the infamous Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus due to him having affair with another woman, and the woman Hera thought was Helen's mother was Nemesis and Hera deciding to use common sense made the call to not ruin Helen's life, along with making another smart call in choosing not to accuse/confront Nemesis over this supposed affair due to fearing that if she pulled these stunts Nemesis would bring her vengeful wrath down on her.
Same as Gaia, the mention of Khaos which should be no1 and the mistake of Cronus and Chronos
I should note that Athena should be higher on the list than Ares, simply because for once, we actually do have examples in mythology of them fighting each other. In those fights, Athena won every time.
Yes and she defeated her Uncle Poseidon in giving the Greeks something useful thus they honored her by naming Athens after her... I admire wise, intelligent people more than I admire anyone else....
Agreed!
And let's not forget she was the only one of Zeus's children capable of controlling her temperament.
Ares,on the other hand, was pretty much ruled by his emotions.
To pile on the arguments against him.
He was bested by the crippled Hephaestus.
@@lilletrille1892 true. He shouldn't have banged his brother's wife...
@@lilletrille1892 heck, that's why she always beats him whenever they fight, he can never act with any sort of restraint. This lets her use her greatest talent, her brain, to completely outmatch him.
Everyone becomes a subject of Hades's eventually. not everyone is a subject of Zeus and/or Poseidon.
Hades and Persephone still had the most wholesome relationship among the gods. Even with is mother in law giving him an icy stare.
But I do think there should have been an honorable mention for the top spot to go to The Fates; Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. The goddesses of destiny. Not even Zeus could get them to change their minds. They also are also the ones that decided even the gods fates.
And the fates are more powerful than even the olympians
@@shaunsomera4183 The Fates, Nyx, Erebus, Chaos, the primordial beings all trump the Olympians, Tartarus should be higher than just about any of the Olympians.
Poseidon an amphirite is the most wholesome story for me! But that's just because poseidon is my fav of all. I think zeus and hades understand love and romance. Zeus is the ultimate match maker because he found true love and couldn't handle it.
@@idigamstudios7463 there are many versions of Zeus where he controls the fates and no, Tartarus would not win as he has no feats. The whole "primordials are stronger than olympians" is not supported by actual mythology
@@hulkross8431 just because you don’t have fates dosent mean anything also fyi nyx would stop Zeus and so would her two other primordial children just because no feats dosent mean anything and she birthed the stars
Mythology videos are so awesome!
This helped so much
yeah, the version I'm familiar with says Artemis killed Orion accidently during a challenge. she was supposed to shoot the moon but accidentally hit Orion, who actually had positive relations with her before that, and she turned him into the constellation to either save him from dying or in remembrance
I’m mostly familiar with Greek mythology but I didn’t know that about Zeus
Another variation was Apollo didn’t trust him and tricked her into shooting him
@@historydude6022 interesting.
I'm european and it's late here like midnight so, i was about to sleep and then I got a notification of this and the infographics show mixed with Greek gods is just so good. I guess I will just sleep later😂
😂
Who asked?
@@user-sz2px8pv3fWhy?
I just love how this guy was literally telling about a world crisis yesterday and now he is Greek gods
Great video thanks
Athena: "To win this battle you must hit here, here and here first"
Ares: *RIP AND TEAR*
22:43
We get it
"If you're going to give credit to the devil for having a fair bit of power, you gotta give credit to Hades too since they both ruled over the underworld."
(Yes guy repeated the line)
When it comes to this power ranking it seems less of who would win in a fight but rather their destructiveness. By the way if you would like to see the Gods fighting, I would recommend reading or watching Records of Ragnarok. With the gods fighting humans who represent humanity (And are given Valkyrie weapons to even the playing field)

This is an amazing video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Persephone wasn’t stuck in the underworld, she willingly joined Hades to his realm. Demeter was so upset she went to Zeus. He asked Persephone to return to her mother, which she refused. They did however come to an agreement: Persephone was to stay for 6 months with her husband in the underworld, and the other 6 months she was to join Demeter back in the world of the gods and humans and fulfill her task as the goddess of spring. Because of this there is a 6 month period where almost nothing grows due to Persephone being in the underworld. During the other 6 months crops are able to grow because Persephone is doing her job as goddess of spring and Demeter isn’t sad that her daughter isn’t with her.
Actually one of the myths is that Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and resultingly married him.
@@treeezy1472 There are multiple versions of this myth. The kidnapping is the most common, but I think it is way more plausible that Persephone went willingly, since she never tried to escape. Also Hades truly loved his wife. He is one of the only gods who didn’t cheat on his/her significant other (don’t know everything about this specific detail so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
@@rubenthys3867 Nah you pretty much got it down right. Hades is one of the more loyal companions in all of Greek Mythology. And yea it's more plausible in terms of human aspects. I'm not sure if a minor goddess like Persephone would have wanted smoke with Hades😂 but there are multiple versions of myths for a reason lol, just gotta acknowledge them all at this point.
Persephone waltzing down to the Underworld herself came from a Charlene Spretnak’s Lost Goddesses: A Collection of Pre-Hellenic Myths in the very old era of 1978 in her *very* washed-down myths book that she wrote for her daughter, nerfing and kid-friendly-ifying the myths so all the assault and kidnapping and badonkadonk shenanigans wasn’t an issue. In the older Greek myths as the Greeks knew it though, Hades kidnapped Persephone with the blessing and order of Zeus, who is Persephone’s father and decided that “ehhhh there’s no way Demeter would be okay with this, just kidnap her it’ll be fine :D”
Persephone *did* agree to marry Hades and all that junk, and when Hermes came down (on Zeus’ orders because Demeter’s killing the planet with her sulk-induced winter and famine meant a lack of people to do sacrifices and the only way to remedy that was to give Demeter what she wants: Persephone herself), Hades allowed Persephone to go to her mom, and because Persephone was a bit homesick, Hades vowed to her that he’d be the best husband he can be for her, and that she as his wife would become a queen of queens and ruler of the Underworld alongside him
Spretnak aside, I like to think that Persephone caught on very quickly that Hades kidnapping her was a thing her dad A-okay-ed and thus this dood was her husband now, and she warmed up to him and accepted him because he was very nice, loyal and a good husband
And yes, Persephone does go up to be with Demeter for a fraction of the year (that fraction in question varies depending on who you ask), and she does go down to be with Hades for the rest of the year- Demeter thus causes winter when Persephone leaves to be with Hades
1. She was kidnapped
2. She ate part of a pomegranate fruit which made her stay down there because hades had cast a spell on it, but that’s just another version of the myth, so there isn’t really a right or wrong
Can you do a series like this on different mythology gods (Norse, Egyptian, etc.)
Yes! I second this!
Vedic or Indian Gods are strongest and most powerful. I think they are true definition of God. Other mythology gods are more of super-powered humans.
@@riderchallenge4250 Which is why most people in the west prefer these gods over the indian gods
Please more videos on ancient religions... so fascinating!!
Well said bro👏🏼
In the actual mythology, Hades and Zeus don't hate each other. Sure, you can say Hades wasn't too happy having to draw sticks to see who would rule what part the world, the fact that he willingly did it and never challenged Zeus shows that out of all the Greek Gods, *Hades* is actually the best of the bunch.
His only real "evil" deed was the kidnapping of his wife/niece, Persephone and binding her to the Underworld...but Persephone never had to worry about him cheating on her and it's likely the whole "binding to the Underworld" was something she did willingly so as not to lose her Queenship, the one thing she had her mother didn't. And really in those days, bride kidnapping was part of the ancient Greek culture as a whole. Reasons why they did that vary, but it definitely wasn't unusual or frowned upon as it is today. But when Pirithous tried to do the same, you can bet Hades protected her furiously.
Could he have taken Zeus? Sure. But unlike a lot of brothers, Hades accepted his lot and appreciated what he had: unlike Zeus.
Plus Hercules is the Roman version heracules is the Greek name
@@jasonw95 Um, what does Heracules/Hercules have to do with Zeus and Hades relationship outside of a Disney movie?
Not to forget Hades has the best position long term as he eventually becomes king of all
Actually he didn't kidnapped Persephone it was an arranged marriage and the two Actually have the most wholesome relationship ship out of all the gods 🤓
Who said they hated each other tho
This is one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in while.
“You might have heard about her box.”
I wasn’t ready for that line.
Great video! Keep up the good work, one thing though and this is a very common mistake, you said hercules which is the roman heracles, heracles is the greek term and the appropriate term for this video
I love Greek mythology! I think it really started with the Percy Jackson books. I am SO excited for the TV series!
It’s gonna be so much better then the movies. Since riordan is actually going to be helping for this one
@@trojanpatriot4346 The actor they picked to play Percy is going to be hilarious! He played young Adam in the Adam Project with Ryan Reynolds, oh my God, he was perfect. He's going to have us cracking up as Percy, he has that humor that is exactly what we needed! I'm actually rereading the books, Percy had me laughing even in the first chapter. I can't wait!
@@hannahhester8376 there are tons of amazing mythology books I can recommend that are 100 times better than Percy Jackson because that book is extremely inconsistent with some of ways they show off the gods and stuff and some of it is really incorrect
@Lizzybearstar DONT YOU DARE SLANDER PERCY JACKSON its one of the best book series ever next to Harry Potter
@@michaelhamsoniii9700 you need help then because it is actually not and I get paid to review books so I think my opinion is a bit more valid
Atlas didn’t have to carry the planets on his shoulders. He was tasked by Zeus to carry the heavens, the depiction of him carrying the planet Earth didn’t exist until after the middle ages
Yes, that's correct. The ancient Greek myth of Atlas primarily portrayed him as carrying the celestial spheres or the heavens on his shoulders, not the planet Earth specifically. The image of Atlas holding the Earth as a globe didn't become popular until much later, during the Renaissance period. It was influenced by the idea of a geocentric universe, where the Earth was considered the center of the universe and all celestial bodies revolved around it. This idea was popularized by the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy and was widely accepted until the heliocentric model was proposed by Copernicus and later confirmed by Galileo.
Zeus feared Nyx because Nyx could imprison him in a darkness, but not just any darkness, but a primordial darkness, where his power would have no effect and the agony of Solitude would be present.
He was cautious of nyx because she would destroy him. That’s why
Interesting list.
Yeah Athena had a mother named Metis, Zeus ate her while she was pregnant. A while after Zeus suffered headaches so painful, he asked someone I forget who to whack him over the head with an axe and out came Artemis fully grown and in full armor. Those Greek gods are all kinds of crazy LOL
"Come, try me, immortals, so all of you can learn. Hang a great golden cable down from the heavens, lay hold of it, all you gods, all goddesses too: you can never drag me down from sky to earth, not Zeus, the highest, mightiest king of kings, not even if you worked yourselves to death." - Zeus in The Iliad
This actually helped because I’m actually learning about this in school right now and I’m going to have a test on it
You let out an important part of Chronos' story. He was not just the King of the Titans, he was also the god of time. If you want a look at how powerful he was, trapping him in Tartarus was not enought to stop him from acting his power upon the world.
All life will eventually wither and die, entire civilizations doomed to eventually fall and collapse. For all of Ares' wars, Poseidon's earthquakes and storms, and Apollo's plagues, nothing have killed more people than time itself.
There is Chronos and Kronos bro
Kronos is king of all Titans,father of zeus,and lord of time but
Chronos is beyond time space itself said in mythology and is the essence of time itself cause he exist time exist in mythology
They are 2 completely different beings, Chronos as they mistook here was a primordial god along the lines of Gaea, Nyx, Erebus, etc and came before Cronus
'He was told that one day he'd be overthrown by his own kids, so he did what any1 would do and swallowed them'
That part got me breaking my ribs 🤣😂
Love this channel! And really enjoyed this topic
awesome video as usual, also, in certain myths, metis is said to be the mother in athena
Nyx isn't the Goddess of darkness. She's the Goddess of night. Her brother, Erebus, is the God of darkness.
If I were an ancient Greek,, I'd worship Hermes!... He's DEFINITELY the coolest God to ME (being a nomad n all)....
Was waiting for infographics to finally post about Greek mythology. Didn't even expect it to be so detailed 👍👍
you should do norse gods next, but include mythology mosters (Loki's children for example) and giants (Suttungr etc)
Where is chaos? Also I think Nyx should be higher since she was the only person zeus feared
I agree about Nyx, but it is Inforgraphics's opinion. He told in 12:23
hephasastus was actually the son of Hera, he brought him to life without the need of a man, that is why Zeus was mad.
Amazing UA-cam channel keep up the good work!!
If you are interested in Greek mythology, Stephen Fry’s trilogy of books on the topic is a great place to start!
I agree love that author
Absolutely
Zeus your son has returned
I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS
Not gonna lie, I half expected Kratos to be no.1 just for fun😅
The myths and gods changed throughout the ages, and there are things like specialties, so it's difficult to nitpick which gods are actually the strongest. There are also various ways you could rank them. You could rank them by how much mortals feared/revered them the most, or by tales of their feats and stories that show their differences, or by godly bloodlines.
further better to pray myths rather then hanging dead bodies of horizontal corpses🤣
No, the myths didn’t change.
As primordials Tartarus, Gaia, Nyx, khaos ,Uranus , Ereberus and sometimes Eros are the strongest beings in Greek mythology. Also Aphrodite got stabbed through the hand by a regular human with a regular weapon that could see her thanks to Athena which made her run in fear back to Olympus same deal with Aries this can be found in the Iliad
The primordial are not the most powerful they should actually be the weakest
@@bruther7892 and why is that? From some texts athena once faced tartarus and dropped her spear in fear. also it is said that tartarus could destroy the olympians with a single thought.
@@bruther7892 the primordial gods were entities that were basically not comprehensible for humans, they were the forces of nature. they were everything. they were no simple beings.
Khaos being first and foremost as the originator of all
@@ClappingSuccubiCheeks Well first came Khaos and then the primordial, then the titans then the Olympians, its not hard to follow
Thank you 🙏 🤩 🙏 fun!
Your videos are always so entertaining
Poseidon did not go to battle with Athena he simply lost in giving the best gift
When are you guys going to do nores gods
Can we get a version of this for other pantheons? Like the Norse gods (the real ones, not Marvel) or Shinto?
Could you guys do a similar video for Norse mythology pls?
Only one story athena had no mother, another myth says Metis the goddess of counseling is her mother and zeus shallowed her due to another prophecy about a son of his from metis will dethrone him. But since athena popped out of his head
As a certified mythology geek...good gods we need to do some rearranging
Almost certainly
Please do one with the Norse Gods next
Hermes was also the Trickster just like Loki but less evil did
Highly recommend the game Hades. It tweaks some of the mythology to be less incestuous, but does focus a lot on the lesser-known chthonic gods
I love that game so much! Especially because of the mythology
That is an awesome game I love it

As an unofficial expert on Greek Mythology and other cultures, this list wasn't nearly as casual as I thought it was gonna be
Prometheus and Nyx are my overall favorites, male & female
Good stuff as always, Infographics 🤙🏼😎
Still missed out on MAJOR details though
@@stealthven2352 well its hard to get all the info, especially when it comes to greek mythology, it can get really complicated at times
@@julianfalken8861 and to try to keep the video to a watchable video length. If this were 2 hours long, I for one wouldn't have even started it. I found it kinda interesting.
@@Bambihunter1971 exactly there is simply too much to explain, these types of videos are just to kind of overly simply these myths, for those that are really interested can dig a little deeper and see more of the iceberg known as greek myth, so this video does a really good job explaining the myths both in a accurate enough manner and also not to much time draining manner
Nyx is my favorite too and aphrodite
And keep up the good work infographics show you guys are amazing🙂
Please do this with Norse mythology next!

I love how random and active this channel is.
All the gods, even Zeus, were subject to the Fates. They're the most powerful in Greek mythology.
No, they are not. The Fates themselves were basically descendants of Anake, the primordial of destiny(something like that). Outside of the children of chaos and the other main primordials, The Fates are the strongest. But this list was flawed once they so heavily underrated Tartarus. He was more than the god of the place, he was the very embodiment of the whole thing. Primordials are said to be the closest thing to the personification of their elements. Easily outclasses the rest
Weren't there giants that were meant to destroy them? I mean they have the job of controlling destiny but outside that they can't quite fight against another god if this decided it didn't like fate, and also they weren't like unreachable Apollo made them drunk and convinced them to change someones fate once
@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 Tf he only reason I'd say the dates are stronger than the gods and titans is because they were able to put restrictions on them, restrictions that most Gods/Titans avoided heavily. The Fates are never really shown to fight truly, but they are feared and still enforce a bit of control over the Gods.
@@treeezy1472 Is there a most powerful god? because there are so many primordials that I don't even think there is a most powerful primordial.
@@_grass It's different as the myth goes. But Chaos/Khaos is generally considered the first being that created the universe. Chaos is also the creator of the primordials as well... Their parent. It's complicated because some versions of the myths consider Khaos to just be some form of energy.
Can you do one about Greek monsters? Plz
I wish that you would have mentioned Medusa for Athena or Poseidon. The way Athena betrayed her even after Medusa gave her best is heart breaking
Athena was really quite cruel and vindictive. The myths of both Medusa and Arachne shows as much
Can you do a video on Reinhard Heydrich who was the architect of the holocaust
Kratos : let me introduce myself
Actually Hades didn't always just let things happen he did some favors for people but they also had to prove themselves worthy first. One story a hero was told to take hades 3 headed dog to the king, he asked hades and he let him take it if he would be strong enough to take it there without hurting it.
22:40 why is that part about the devil and hades repeated as if it glitched a few seconds backwards?
Great video, should do a Viking God version would be as good maybe even better 😉
You should do one on the heros of Greek mythology
can you also do a north
mytholygy one
Can you also pls make a video about the Roman emperors who have been venerated and worshiped (like Hadrian) who had had their own cults and built their own temples?
This video reminded me of a story I read for my Greek and Roman mythology class and it was about a fight breaking out: “His skull dome was shattered and his brain oozed out out through his eyes, his ears, and his nostrils, the way like curdled milk.” Another one from the same story: “Peleus was right there, and in the hubbub slashed his sword across the Centaur’s belly. This made him lurch forward, trailing his entrails, which he trod upon, bursting them, tangling his legs in his guts and finally falling with an emptied stomach.”
Maybe the reason why the god that was feared even by Zeus, wasn't mentioned much is because shes so powerful she has better things to do than fight with the lesser gods like well anyone of pour why would you talk to them unless its drier if the consequences could cause mas destruction and theath
Thanks to this article, at least I now know what that famous track shoe brand Nike was named after!

My favourite part of Greek mythology was when Morpheus said “it’s morphin time”
That's not how any of this works 😧
😂 I knew this would be a comment eventually.
How original. U come up with that yourself?
Waiting for a game to put that as a voiceline
🤣
(Metis) Athena's mother was swallowed by her father Zeus he tricked her in to a competition and she turned into a fly and Zeus swallowed her because he was told that her child (athena) was going to be stronger then him so he ate mentis and she had athena in his forehead she then became her father's favorite child and he let her carry his thunderbolts and then the affair between Poseidon and Medusa she turned into a gorgon/a creature that can turn people to stone by taking 1 look at her she was apart of 3 gorgons including echidna/the mother of all monsters most notably cerburus the camara and 1 that I forgot
No it was actually because mentis said that her next child(not Athena but if she had a second baby) that it would be more powerful then him
@@trojanpatriot4346 ok
I think it said if metis is had a son by Zeus
Metis not Mentis

Greek Gods. My favorite stories to relax to...
If Apollo is the god of restraint that explains alot about the greek myths.
(They had a really bad roll model)
Cool video! I'm a 14 year old who is crazy about mythology. I love seeing what other people believe or believed in. I am especially inspired by Athena's ( goddess of war and wisdom ) story. She was one of the most intelligent and wisest of the Greek gods. She was also good at war strategy and giving heroes courage. Athena's special powers included the ability to invent useful items and crafts. She invented the ship, chariot, plow, and rake. How was Athena born? Athena, the daughter of Zeus, was produced without a mother and emerged full-grown from his forehead. An alternative story was that Zeus swallowed Metis, the goddess of counsel, while she was pregnant with Athena so that Athena finally emerged from Zeus in full armor while crying a battle cry.
Athena was also extremely cruel when you look at the myths surrounding Medusa and Arachne. Still an interesting god I agree though! Also there are a few errors in this video but its generally pretty good.
Please do Norse God's next! 👌👏✌️👍❤️
Lol I was just listening to GOW 2’s main theme when this appeared 😂
I fully agree on the part of Athena and Ares being close on the list. However I do think Athena should be higher. While brute strength will often succeed. The most infamous battles in history follow the line of Athena's strategy. Shaka of the Zulu beat the British without armor but making use of a brilliant strategy in form of the bull horn. Ceaser made incredible battles of being outnumbered end with victories in his strategies. Napoleon was soo good at winning that the French got tired of it. Sure Ares was a great god, and one of my favorites, but Athena would beat him in every duel they ever had. Your explanation on him was also missing a lot of information, but one of the most important differences between the siblings of war, isn't just their polar strategies, but the effects of their strategies. Ares' followers always relayed bloodshed and heavy loss on both sides. Athena's followers took more time to plan, and often ended with more remaining troops and therefore happier people.
there are many missing gods from this list. Pan, Persephone, Thanatos, Helios, Eros and many more
Those are minor gods
@@user-tp9uw1pr6m and? tell me anyone who's not a mythologist that knows about Morpheus and he's on the list
