I know it's not a popular opinion but I think the idea of Medusa being a mortal daughter of two gods, without a real place among mortals or immortals, has much more interesting potential for stories than making her the 85th victim of an Olympian's libido.
I'd love to see some videos on the Etruscan deities, alongside the Carthaginians, as they're highly underrated imo. It should also be noted that the Roman deities were not just carbon copies of the Ancient Greeks but also may have taken inspiration from the Latin's northern neighbours in Etruria!
Can you show the Roman forms of your gods because you made Neptune and Minerva unique form their Greek forms like the heroes of Olympus? That would be cool. Maybe discuss the differences between Greek and Roman gods
This honestly helps me a lot on some things as I’m trying to write a fictional book about monsters throughout mythology and legends and Typhon is a center focus for my main character to release. Now I have some more beings I can use as I wanted to try to be as accurate as possible, but also have the idea of showing that they evolved throughout the years in their own way instead of what we know of them back then
Hey jake! maybe you should do a video on Artemis and Apollo telling their tales or some lesser known gods or on Poseidon son Polyphemus and how Odysseus stabbed out his eye.

I love the history of Aeneas. Especially the part where Virgil on his death bed begged his apprentice to burn his weird Homeric Aeneas Fan-Fiction. He did not. FYI, that's where the Byzantium Empire comes from, and why Rome actually moved the capitol.
Hi jake!

4:53 psn was also as god who was scared of typhon, but didn't go to Egypt. pan jumped into a river to escape him and tried and transform into a fish, but only his lower body did so, and pan became a Sea-goat, and then he just decided to help find the muscles of Zeus and the three of them kicked typhon's rear-end.

You have a few mentions of dragons in this video. I thought that the word and beast dragon was a medieval invention, and the word dragon originally meant snake. (The greeks not knowing the beast dragon)
that is actually quite a complicated question, dragons (whilst not always referred to that) were kinda a historical constant, there were of course the european dragons which you mentioned and the chinese dragons there are also figures such as quetzlocoatl (not sure I spelt that right but have mercy) and of course the greek hydra and the other multiheaded serpent dragon creature heracles got atlas to defeat, and romans (whilst not a valid form of greek myth) also had the cockatrice, the chicken basilisk thing. so whilst they likely werent outright called dragons they were what atleast the modern era considers dragons. though it is an interesting topic (especially for fantasy nerds like me) I would like to hear a counter arguement
dragons are a staple of fantasy, a genre almost always set in the medieval era but i'm not sure of any direct dragon references in christianity, the prevading religion of the medieval era. as for the mentions in this video, dragons in some form or another have appeared in so many cultures, so far across the world, across so many eras that some scientist wonder if they may once fhave been real thousands of years ago. TLDR; not a medieval invention but you maybe hear dragon and think of the "traditional" european interpretation despite their prevolence in dozens of cultures ancient and modern.
Drakos are giant Snakes in greek mythology, they usually dont have wings or are related to fire. Typhon however is called a Drako but he is a giant with wings and serpent legs and heads and also heads of lions, bulls, eagles and bears scattered across his body, but his main head looks human. So he is definitily not a traditional medieval dragon.
Good choice snitching on hermes. The god in front of you is always the most dangerous. I love tour detail and fun presentation. A terrific teacher! Subbed.
I would blindly believe what you say about Ram and Krishna over the many conflicting stories told by my grandparents. That is, if you ever decide to do videos on Indian mythology (pretty please), going with how you like doing videos about polytheistic myths. -big fan of your animation and brand of humour
the gorgon looking straight at onlookers reminds me of the egyptian god of fertility (I believe) also the only character to be depicted from the front and put in a lot of different places. Are there any indications they share some history or something?
Favorite example of syncretism when it comes to mythology will always be the Chaoskampf which pops up all across the globe. A deady battle between a god representing wind/lightning against a fearsome primordial serpent : Thor and Jörmungandr, Zeus and Typhon, Indra and Vritra, Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi.
I was halfway through watching this video and abruptly remembered hearing a story about Apollo and Artemis mowing down a woman's entire family because she was a little too proud of her kids. From a rooftop, in public, like a 5th century BCE CIA hit. Man, the Greek gods were real pieces of work.
I laughed so hard when the giant ran away from the presence of Athena wearing someone else as Armor and throw Islands at him, that's some messed up looney tunes shit right there
