Let's start at the primordial beginning. The first "peoples" on the earth were Cyclops and Titans. Prometheus was one of these titans, and in fact just one of two remaining after an unfortunate conflict with, you guessed it, Zeus...

Senpai!
I love extra mythology and it's intro senpai!!!
Extra Credits so you’re saying that a giant hippie bang the sky?
Imao
Plz do more
things that Zeus did through his entire life:
Good things: freed his brothers and sisters - 1
Bad things: literally all the rest
GLAUBIM 2 he defeated the titans and stop typhon as well
Couldn’t keep his junk in his nonexistent pants
Accounting for time, about a fourth of the population is related to Zeus. Mostly his children.
But, enough joking, SO many Greek Gods/hero’s have some relation to Zeus. Try me
"beating" everything that moves
@@novaanimations5958 from sheer volume of affairs though posidon had more children.
I grew up with the Greek myths as a bedtime stories. I like the version where Typhon is a giant dragon and Zeus chases him down to Sicily, defeats him and crushes him under the Mount Etna. That's why the mountain spews fire and smoke :)
Zeus is awesome, one of my favourite gods, Odin comes next
Woman: *exists*
Zeus: its go time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dr. Vikyll
Does that imply the moment they are born Zeus goes in?
or does that mean he wait until they start ovulating?
The answer changes everything
@@ilo3456 yeah this complicates it
Ovulation wasn't invented yet, Zeus could have impregnated a piece of rock if he would have been in the mood.
"When Chronus cast his father's flesh into the sea..."
His scrotum. Chronos attack on Oranus was a gelding, and aprodite is literally born from sperm.
*Cronus.
Ahaha I saw that they skimmed over that bit
@Jahlani2010 there are two mythological figures with similar name. Χρόνος pronounced as Chronos which was a primordial deity for time and Κρόνος pronounced as Kronos while his Latin translation is Cronus son of Uranus.
yeah I wonder why almost nobody mentions that
Aren't we all born from sperms
I love the element of Young Adults around the camp fire telling a story of Mythology rather than the typical Extra History way of presenting it as you are in the time. Great job again!
I prefer the version were the flesh of the sky that spawned Afrodita was his genitalia. Makes a lot more of sense, and at the same time, makes even weirder.
To my knowledge the only version is the genitalia version.
He never said what chronos cut, exactly, just that it was a "Mortal Wound." I'd say castration qualifies. He probably just glossed over that bit for a more dramatic flow around the campfire.
I think they were using "flesh" euphemistically here.
Then again, I might just forgot this was an open to all publics video. XD
It was the severed genitalia - and the foam is the last bit of semen they contained. It's a bit graphic though...
Half a minute in and I'm already loving this series. So artistic.
Is nice.
@@SentryWill is nice
Earth: Im pregnant
Everyone else: Oh s**t
Titans: hello we've been born
Mother earth is pregnant for the third time...
Which one earth-Chan or gaia
I’m too busy observing the multiverse to tell
@@jacobsheehan9715 why not both??
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the art on this one? It was really phenomenal
With a lot of mythology there will be a ton of different versions. I tried to remain as faithful as I could to the most common threads. That's usually how EM is going to operate but I totally encourage everyone to check out all the alternate versions of these stories as the deviations sometimes provide amazing insights into how these cultures changed!
-JP
Have you ever thought of compiling a source list, most Mythology books, with the exception of Norse Mythology, don't and might help with the wildly different versions thing. I know that there are different cannons in Greek myth but I'm never sure which version comes from which.
Can you share the sources later? This version is rad af but I wanna be careful sharing it.
On this note, the Hecatoncheires, the hundred-handed giants, are sometimes described as taking the side of the gods and sometimes the titans, depending on the source - and in particular whether you're talking about older greek accounts or later roman ones.
I'm just glad that I'm hearing the whole myth. Whenever I've heard Prometheus before, no-one explains that Prometheus made the humans after the age of heroes, which makes me think they are the first humans.
It sure makes Heracles appearance confusing as shit.
I'd like to point out Kronos/Cronos/Cronus is a different being than Chronos. The Romans sort of combined them ( a little: Father Time holds the sickle Kronos used to castrate his father) but they were, for most of the sources commonly used, separate beings. Kronos is krah-nos, while Chronos is Kroh-nohs.
It's no big deal, just want to be pedantic and maybe helpful in clearing a common misconception.
Calling Gaia's paramour "The Firmament" or "The Sky" seems like an odd choice... but at the same time, I can't imagine anyone saying "Chronos chopped off Uranus with a sickle" with a straight face.
Depends on how you pronounce that name.
The original pronounciation is "Ouranos".
*gay communism ensues*
uranus (firmament/SPACE) was BEFORE gaia (earth/MATTER).
they together gave birth to chronos (time/INTERACTION), who took the hegemonial throne of uranus by cutting off his manhood.
if u take a look on ancient castration tools, they are not unsimiliar to a sickle.
Well Chronos did chop off Ouranos’ balls, which then became Aphrodite
I'm so immature. I can't stop laughing.
2:28 You mean Cronus. Chronos was a separate deity, representing time in general, while Cronus is a Titan, representing time in regards to humans (or maybe time towards people in general, not sure.) Edit: They were only combined in later depictions, during the Renaissance I believe
Liam-Ethan Wallis the Latin spelling is Cronus; the Greek spelling is Kronos. But yes, Kronos and Chronos are two different words in Greek.
@@paulchapman8023 the Greek spelling for Cronus is Κρόνος and the CHronos is Χρόνος
I found Kronos being used as the most common name.
I always thought it was spelt Kronos
Time for the greeks did not mean "space-time" but the passing of ages. Each brother of Cronus sired a family that keeped time (like Hyperion, father of the Sun and Moon and Dawn, the keepers of the day and night cycle, etc). Kronos himself was the destroyer of time, he represents the passing of ages that makes the world worse, like pollution in nature, or the corrosion of metals, or the moral decline of mankind, thus he devoured Poseidon (Sea), Hades (the memory of the dead), Hera (Sky), Demeter (Plants) and Hestia (Family).
_Prometheus was punished by the Gods for giving the gift of knowledge to man. He was cast to the bowels of the Earth and pecked by birds._
Resurrected Helicoprion r/whoosh
Can't believe the ancient Greeks built temples to honor Zeus but nothing for Prometheus.
But then, gods were perceived differently at the time
Nobody asked for spoilers
@@sharilshahed6106 Spoilers? What spoilers? Spoilers that mean nothing if you haven't played the game that came out in 2011?
@@resurrectedhelicoprion no, an eagle
Zeus always looks like the hero until we found out how he bill cosbyed woman all the time.
Truee
And then his Sister-Wife makes life hell for the women he forced himself on
Well, he bang anything that move
@@weldonwin it's okay all the cool gods are married to their siblings.
And only SOMETIMES as a human. Greek gods are messed up.
I love how Prometheus and his brother continue to look worriedly ascant at Zeus like: “Ahh shit dude”
Gaia: Kronos, avenge your brothers' imprisonments by killing your dad
Kronos: *Kills *
Also Kronos: *Re-inprisons bros *
Wtf
So everyone is happy that Zeus made Chronos throw up all Zeus' siblings, no one is concerned how the pet rock he swallowed is doing?
There were a lot of other Titans who didn't fight in the war or who fight on Zeus's side, like Helios, Selene, Leto, Hecate and so much more. Fun Fact: the Titans were released. Cronus became the god of the blessed afterlife and pillars were built in order to support the sky after Altas was freed.
And these pillars can be found today at Gibraltar and Morocco.
@@MegaMementoMori No, these are the pillars that Hercules erected, as in their name "Heralcean Pillars" to mark the end of the world
@@justadude3037 So where the pillars that support the sky are located now?
He also became the God of time
@@lorraineadormonicus he already was since he took the throne.
Love the series, but am a little confused about one thing. Pretty sure that Heracles and the rest of the Greek heroes came after Prometheus gave the gift of fire to the humans. So, if that's the case, what is this "Age of Heroes" that came before humanity?
The problem is that there are multiple completely different versions of these stories, and they're rarely even internally consistent. Extra Credits seem to be blending bits from the Homeric, Hesiodic, and Orphic versions, which are the most 'popular' ones. The first deity might have been Gaea, Nyx, Tethys, Oceanus, Thetis, Chronos (not the Titan Cronos, who was different), and even a unnamed force/entity called a 'Demiurge' depending on which storyteller you're listening to at the time. What order it all happened in? Good luck with figuring that out. :)
Yeah I was confused too. I'll chalk it up to mythologies not really a set canon
Mulleronis I get that many myths self-contradict. However, it's still confusing why Extra Credits chose to mention Heracles existing before Prometheus did his thing, especially since Heracles later frees Prometheus from the rock within his own legend. Because this implies that there were in fact two heroes named Heracles in Greek mythology: The one that we are all familiar with, and another one who also existed before humans were created.
I've read some versions where Zeus grabs herakles out of time for the battle
Bad research from Extra Credits' part, that's the "Age of Heroes", L.O.L.
"When Chronos cast his father's flesh into the sea"
"Flesh"
"""""Flesh"""""

Oohh that’s why the sea is salty
@@sadface7463 😆 oh, balls!

Chronos is the Titan of Absolute Time [past/present/future Worldline]
Epimetheus is the Titan of Wisdom [the Past seen from the present].
Prometheus is the Titan of Deduction [the Future seen from the present].
Atlas is the Titan of Dark Energy [keeps Space from becoming a black hole].
Did I see you in the timeghost forum
Love the campfire setting for how the story is being told, works perfectly with mythology.
I thought in most versions that kronos was the youngest Titan?
he is and the sickle was a scythe
@@ultragamer-lp9gu You are correct
Yep
ya what the hell dude
You are correct. They are wrong. Don't understand why do they keep calling Ouranus as Firmament.
I feel like this was told out of order.
Because how was Heracles half-mortal if Humans hadn't even been made at that point?
Also the Humans of the "Golden Age" had existed since Chronos' time it could have been Heracles was born in that time period and simply died in the Heroic Age much later because he was a demigod and Golden Age people lived far longer anyway.
Yes but the athenian mythos was revised many times to fit there own ethos.
He's kind of mixed the Theogeny and other stuff; in the original story the Gigantomachy (war with giants) occurred much later.
Eh, mythology isn't immune to plot holes.
isn't Heracles Hercules? Hercules being the Roman version of the name
Can't wait for this series. Mythology is so interesting but usually goes unoticed. This is going to be great :)
damn, I really love all the artistic muscles being stretched here. The epic tone and campfire really helps lull you into the narratives as opposed to your other shows which are more fact based. It makes doesn't leave much room for interpretation but this is how the stories were originally told so I'm not complaining.
Those “primordial beasts” are hecatoncheires
Ok I know you have to be PG and everything but by “wounding of his father” do you actually mean how he literally castrated his own father with a sickle?
YOU DARE BLASPHEME AGAINST THE POLITEICOS THE GOD OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!? Shun! Shun! Shun the nonbeliever! Shuuuun! Candy Mountain!
Oww wtf
Donovan Fox Sometimes mythology can be messed up. Like with Athena, who was born fully grown and armoured from Zeus' ruptured skull. Or Heimdall, who some claim was born from nine women! (Yeah, cultures back then didn't really have a modern understanding of human biology.)
@@LostArchivistevery god from every mythology: *arms crossed* want to try and correct us?
I thought they stuck Typhon under mount Etna in sicily, which is why its constantly erupting.
That entirely depends on who's telling the story.
The issue with mythology is there rarely is ever 1 canon story, it varies between retellings and time periods.
There are thousands of different versions of the stories, think about how long the stories have had to evolve while being passed down generations.
And also having sweet love with Echidna, giving birth to hundreds of monsters.
yeah. there is a version of the story where Zues cuts open Chronos' stomach to get his siblings out.
That's Enceladus, king of the Giants whom Athena defeated by throwing Mount Etna atop him. However that did not kill him, just put him into a semi-coma, from which he occasionally wakes and tries to free himself, thus causing earthquakes. Funny trivia, in Greece we still occasionally use the phrase "Enceladus has woken" when there's an earthquake!
Its so artistic and colorful!! betting that every episode will be AWESOME. Good Job guys!
Ah, here we go on a trip into a Pantheon of largely amoral and very self-centered Gods (and most other creatures), where values dissonance abounds and Incest is more common than Game of Thrones.
More please!
Actually, there was a third titan who remained free (that I know of, there could be more) Hecate, the goddess of sorcery.
Also pretty sure Rhea wasn't imprisoned. And I'd thought that Oceanus had simply been sidelined rather than imprisoned, but could be wrong there.
yeah, I don't think that Zeus and the others would imprison their mother, I think you're right about Oceanus, but I'm not sure...
Also Iris which is the mother of athena
The myths don't say much about Rhea, as I understand it.
Not just "a third", about ⅔ of all Titans weren't imprisoned, only those that sided with Kronos (*not Chronos*), the God of the Sun (Helios) was also a Titan.
I totally understand the use of "hundred handed ones" instead of "Hecatonchires" as the latter term can be confusing, but pleeeeeeeeeeease... the plural of Cyclops is "Cyclopes" not "Cyclopses". Otherwise, great episode- really looking forward to the series getting into full swing!
Yes. That. Wikipedia says it's spelled "Hecatoncheires". I wouldn't know - I read about them in Polish ;)
Hecatoncheires in greek literary means one hundred hands, so I can see why they would translate it.
Because the name "Hecatoncheires" (Εκατόγχειρες) come for the words "Hekaton" (εκατόν) meaning one hundred and "Cheir" (χείρ) meaning hand. I am fortunate enough to be born greek and immediately understand the meaning of those names without researching. You can find that whole mythology by reading Hesiod's Theogony which is a 3-part poem explaining the creation of the world.
I think he refrained from saying it alot becuase it's a name I know I have problems pronouncing
Given current events, I hope you won't be too offended if I say being born Greek isnt the most fortunate of blessings....
I laughed when Extra Credit drew Hercules/Heracles in his Disney movie form. :D
I am just so bloody happy with this series already. I was excited when I saw the announcement but this is a first episode full of promise. I love the campfire story framing and passionate narration. I love the lyrical writing and beautiful artwork. And I LOVE that you've started with my best boy Prometheus. Just... keep up the good work, guys. Spot on.
I guess "Hekatoncheires" is too hard to pronounce? :) Great start, I'm waiting for more.
So I'm a touch confused... Were there humans during the age heroes yet? Because I thought Heracles was half human, but if he helped in the war that took place before the creation of humans, how would that work?
Just looking for a little clarification.
I was also under the impression that Heracles is the one that rescues Prometheus later on. So how is he gone before Prometheus is even punished?
Men used to be a single being with two heads, four arms and legs. Wasn't until Prometheus and Epimetheus came that modern man came to be.
Yeah, having really old myths that are passed down from mouth to mouth tends to leave many, many different versions of these myths. The ones I knew had the giants emerge long after this, and actually had Typhus rip out Zeus's tendons - he was only saved when Hermes and Pan reattached them with Lightning bolts.
I think hercules appeared in this just to reference the Disney movie
From what I knew about mythology man was made before any big war against Giants and etc. Never heard about Heracles being apart of it though.
After the sympathetic portrayal of the Hundred-Handed Ones in the Percy Jackson series, I'm REALLY enjoying this new direction with them as horrific eldritch beings.
Prometheus gets all the love, but Epimetheus is the one who reminds you when you've forgotten, and lets you know when you've made a bad call. Forethought and afterthought are both a necessity.
The order seems all twisted.
How did hercules came before promtheus gave fire to the people?
There were multiple races of mortals, the death of one race led to the rise of a new race.
@@philipliao4006 didn't heracles rescue prometheus though? or are there multiple different myths? sorry if i seem ignorant, i've never studied greek mythology in depth
Extra History about the Dutch East India Company.
It's already been done! Look up their "South Sea Bubble" series!
Support their patreon and vote for it.
Liam Ross the Dutch east India company was far bigger than the South Sea Bubble ever was. Also its story is far different.
Ah! My mistake. I'd definitely conflated the Dutch East India Company with the South Sea Company in my head. My bad!
I'm game. ;)
I’ve never heard this version and I’m excited for more, keep up the great work, guys!
I LOVE this! As a self-proclaimed student of mythology, I hope this continues! If I may make ONE suggestion: the storytelling aspect is fun, artistically; however, these were stories and traditions that molded and forged empires. I LOVE the balance you show between fact and art in your other history series...maybe apply that here? It may seem purely fantasy from our standpoint, but these beliefs shaped the very lives of those who lived in those times.
I think Extra Credits had difficulty pronouncing Hecatonchires.
I prefer Centimani, which is much easier to pronounce
And Uranus
The Greek creation mythos was high
Name me a creation mythos that isn't.

YES I've been waiting for more Extra Mythology, I love this series.
Talk about the Aztec creation myth!
Who are you using as sources? This is quite a mishmash.
I think they needed to explain all the different versions rather than pick one. It would be less story like but more interesting.
Well it's clear there's parts of the Theogeny, but the basic creation myth is from Plato IIRC.
Credit to Disney for imagery of Hercules.
Yeah, thats how mythology is my dude
I love the art of this episode! Especially the void part! 0:41 is so perfect a drawing for "something is forming in the void"! Kudos!
I gotta say that I thoroughly enjoy the artwork is all of these series by e.c., makes them that much more enjoyable.

i thought the giants were born from Gaia & Tartarus, after Zeus & the Olympians fought and won against the titans?
yeah but there are different versions
Master Yoda yes same here
@Bread NoLastName
Tartaros is both the pit and a seperate deity, just as Gaia is the Earth and Ouranos is the sky.
Shouldnt the war with the giants and typhon happen after the creation of mankind? I mean hercules' mother was a human, so how could he exist before his mother?
I get the feeling Heracles was something of a late-comer to the Hellenic mythos, retroactively added into all the good stories to make them more epic and make him sound better. I can't state this for sure, though.
No, he wasn’t. He’s been around as long as anyone, he’s just been inflated by both the Romans and modern media because he’s the most recognisable
Maybe he went to Elysium and decided to be reborn into the world again. So he probably took a bath in the River Lethe.
According to a lot of versions of Greek mythology, there was a total of five ages of "man." Each age saw a different race if men rise and fall, they were in order; The golden age (reign of the titan, Cronos), the silver age, the "bronze age" (not THAT bronze age..), the age of heroes (lots of demigods and some mortals possessing godlike gifts and talents such as Arachne for example), and the current "iron age" (modern man), our age. The first age "humans", were called the men of gold, not literally golden skinned but still quite different compared to their successive counterparts, especially the latter two races of men. The golden race of men lived during the peaceful reign of the titan Cronos, and lived in a world of plenty, no need of agriculture or raising animals, in fact they were said to be in complete harmony with nature and the beasts of the world, even possessing the ability to "talk" to all manner of animals and plants, they could even speak to things such as rivers, mountains, and other natural phenomenon. (back when such things were more "awoke" than they are now) The men of gold also could live very long lives, remaining youthful in appearance even into old age and when they died it was more like going into a gentle sleep, violent death was rare, their spirits could persist on after death as benevolent guardian spirits, watching over the still living. (this lasted well into the latter ages) There's more information on these ages, to much to write out in one post, it's actually very interesting, look it up if you have the time that is.
These stories are amazingly animated and narrated, love it!
I *LOVE* how he tells the story by a fire instead so this feels so different then are normal series!
So, by this telling, the Age of Heroes and demigods are distinct from the modern era of mortal men? I suppose that helps distinguish the later Greeks with the Mycenaean period, though every telling I've heard before tends to place Prometheus and his tales BEFORE the end of the heroic age.
Well, that is mostly because it wouldn't make sense to distinguish the Age of Heroes from later men. If that was the case, how could Heracles have saved Prometheus from his punishment? By the telling Extra Mythology gives, he would to this day be chained at a mountain with an eagle eating his liver, but the story tells us that he was freed by Heracles in exchange for his help. Also, how could have Heracles even been born, if the first woman, Pandora, was created to punish Prometheus and his creation, humanity, for stealing the gods' fire? It's honestly a weird choice from EM.
Mate you didn't explicitly say Castrate.
I liked this. Very visually stunning, and you told Greek history in a way that made it not boring, so good job
oh man I wanted this series just cause I love mythology so much and wanted to hear it but this artwork is so freaking impressive I can't wait to see the next episode just so I can see what this artist does next great work you guys you are blowing me out of the water!
The comedy asides stand out more and are a bit jarring when the rest of the narration is so serious.
Still love the episode! But...
Yeah, if they are going to go with this super serious tone then the jokes seem out of place. I think they should either drop the jokes or lighten up the tone of the rest of the narration. (I would prefer the latter)
Yeah, I think a lighter tone overall might be better. I like the serious tone but I think I'd it more the other way.
Yes, the jokes are more something from Overly Sarcastic Productions than from Extra Credits, is a bit out of place.
I would prefer the former.
@@nidohime6233 It's not even that it's out of place for extra credits, they have a fair amount of humor in extra history and sci-fi, but it definitely felt a bit more straight faced than normal.
For SOME reason, my school blocks your content 😒 BUT ITS A HALF DAY SO IM WATCHIN NOW
Loved it. Always been a fan of this mythology and I hope to see more from it in this channel.
So glad that you guys are doing a series on mythology, I can't wait to see what myths you will tell. I also am enjoying the way your telling it as a story rather then just reciting text from a script.
My one complaint, and this is me being nitpicky, is that with the books my classes read in college Chronus actually castrated his father with the sickle.
Why not call the "hundered handed ones" by there name? Each of the three hecatoncheires Even had name of there own; briareos, kottos, and gyges. Just seems weird that you say all of the other names but not theirs
Was there also one called Aegean
It's not easy pronouncing their real name
A somewhat more SFW version of Aphrodite's origin story
It is an age old tradition to edit the myths to suit the sensibilities of the culture telling them. Either that or they become lost in a dusty library forgotten until they are "discovered" again, or....lost for all time. The originals are better preserved this way as well, as the stories remain relevant and thus so to does their history.
Ballsack bath bomb, amirite!?
i bet the artist really enjoyed drawing this, good work!
Already digging the new series. I can't wait to see more!
Extra credits and oversimplified should team up, to create a special video series.
Ok ok... Who here is wondering why Chronos didn't stop making babies after he got the prophecies?
It's well known that chronos hated condoms
that makes sense....

The Hammer of Thor is my shield Beautiful
I'm loving the campfire story framing device - it makes the story seem more personal and cozy somehow. And I like the different art style - it doesn't feel like a normal Extra Credits episode, which is somehow fitting for a series full of epic tales of gods, warriors, myths, and magic.
Good lord I love it...love the content you guys are bringing! please don't stop
Hecatoncires: exist
Ouranos: *blibitty bloppity your freedom is now my eternal property*
6:02 *record scratch* wait Heracles/Hercules was born before humans were created?! HOW?!
Different versions. Greek mythology doesn't exactly have a canon.
Daaaaaamn the art is on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL this video!!! My goodness! Shock and awe
This was INCREDIBLE. Please, PLEASE make more of these. o:
Wait how does Heracles defeat the giants before Prometheus is punished? He's the one that frees Prometheus later.
Alternate telling claims that Heracles existed before the age of men. Its rare, but possible
The origins of Gaia remind me a bit about Neith from Egyptian mythology.
Awesome format! Good luck in your new project Ill be watching closely too.
I love the fireplace story scene
Well a small mistake you made was your placing of the heroic age as earlier then the binding of Prometheus.
So Heracles and others of his time weren't our kind of humans (besides being demigods)?
@Mullerornis More like he mixed up the timeline, but you are correct. Older religious customs and texts were very localized.
Using newer sources (like Pseudo-Apollodorus and Hesiod) would give much more coherent ones, as they became much more common in terms of belief due to Roman assimilation of Greek religious practices post-Mithridatic Wars
This channel is one of the few to get better and better !
Oh my Goodness I'm so pumped for this series!!!
How come the age of heroes came before Typhon?
If so does that mean Hercules and the others were reincarnated and fate repeated the age of heroes or is there a Chronoslogical error?
I believe it is
Gaea*
Kronos*
And The 3 Beast are The 100 Handed Ones
I'm not nearly as sure about this one as I am about the others, But I believe Zues, Poisidon, and Hades were Kronos' sons
They are.
Great start to the new series guys! Keep it up!
I love the idea that elephant skulls may have been the basis for the Cyclops myth.
Also, I love this dang channel. I'm so happy it popped up in my suggestions a few weeks ago!
For me, this depiction of the story was different from my POV But I guess mythologu is as messy as a tied up earphones
Excuse me can you do Grigori Rasputin that would be awesome
He's an Extra History thing, rather than mythology, but I agree, I'd like to see that
Yeah
This Series is awesome, i look forward to see more of this ^^
