The GREAT Greek Myths - The BEST Stories of Greek Mythology: Volume 2 - See U in History #GreekMythology #Mythology #SeeUinHistory #History #MythologyExplained
I really like these larger videos that combine aLot of prior stories to in a way summarize the many myths or legends involved, it makes for comfy listening and can be great for learning a good deal about the fundamentals of a culture like the summary of the Norse myths.
Imagine if the ancient Greeks knew about the rest of the world how many stories could have been made I mean imagine combining Greek mythology in Japanese mythology you would get some very interesting stories😅
Those Greeks really, really, really valued beauty. Also, it's weird that Hermaphrodite was embarrassed about being a combination man/woman, but being a combination man/animal was totally fine. They had a very interesting view of animals...
Not exactly because there was a betting competition between the gods Zeus, Poseidon, Ares and Dionysus. Phaethon was working on making the best chariot ever and Dionysus revealed to Phaethon that he's the son of Helios. So Phaethon went to find his father which he did. Afterwards, he rode his father's chariot and he burnt the land later on as Patagonia or the land of fire. Phaethon learnt his lesson and he decided to win with a less better chariot than his father's and Dionysus was punished for his actions and his crops got burnt up
Something I'm noticing with these myths and the Norse myths -- there's not much trading. People with higher status took what they wanted (both things and people). People with lower status asked for stuff, and people with higher status mostly gave because they felt like it. There isn't much exchanging going on.
Gotta love Greek timelines. Helen, Pollux, Caster and Clytemnestra all the same age yet later Helen is way younger than the other 3 as the boys go with Jason when they’re grown and Theseus also is there but when they get back Helen is still a little girl when Theseus kidnaps her, and Clytemnestra has been married to Agamemnon long enough to have full grown children by the time Helen is old enough to marry Menelaus. I appreciate how well the Greeks in particular understood the pettiness and evil that dwells in the human heart. Pretty much no one, god nor mortal, could be categorized as good in most Greek myths.
yea they are cool, but they make no sense chronology-wise. The biggest inconsistency is Argo, Medea and all stories surrounding her. She goes to Athens AFTER the Argo, when Theseus arrives in Athens she is already there, and yet DURING the Argo, Theseus is either part of it, or trapped in the Underworld. On top of that, Ariadne's children with Dionysus are part of the Argo, and yet it takes place BEFORE Medea arrives in Athens, hence BEFORE Theseus arrives in Athens, therefore BEFORE Theseus slays the Minotaur and abandons Ariadne on an island to be found by Dionysus on the first place. Not to mention that the Argo takes place after Heracles' fourth labour, and Chiron helps the Argonauts in the beginning, and yet Chiron died DURING the fourth labour? Ancients Greeks need to reboot the universe and fix these loopholes.
The story of Hermaphroditus shown in this video was not a folk tale of Greek origin but one from the Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso or simply "Ovid" for short. Ovid is famous for a collection of mythological stories which he compiled into a work he titled "Metamorphoses" in which he included this one about Hermaphroditus.
It seems a lot of people have only ever heard a single version of many of these myths. Just because it goes different than your familiarity, doesnt make it wrong.
The Atalanta story part of your video was missing somewhat important parts that make the race part more interesting and gives more context. The 3 golden apples all turn into individual things each time. (Can't remember though if it's when they are first thrown or when Atalanta physically picks the golden apples up). Just thought it would add to how the one man over everyone else was able to win the race and best the fastest woman with unstoppable, unwavering and unbeatable brains to go with her speed and stamina that makes her able to not tire therefore be clear minded and fast thinking. I guess being raised by a bear in the first will do that. 😊
They are, but in some myths they get tossed around as the same god, i assume cause at one point or another they were each were the sun god/titian. Some sources say it was helios, but then apollo took his place after the titian got banished (or generally smth along those lines) while other will sayd the apollo is helios and swap around the name. More often the former is more referred to but both are part of the myths among different sources. Both are right in there own sence, tho (=
Aphrodite i mean innana Ishtar already used this story in summarian mythology . I wish the annunaki used A.I to write these stories , instead of having one person write the worlds story running out of ideas
The Greeks believed that the Gods of other peoples were for the most part just their own Gods but under a different name. It didn't matter how old the culture was. They just thought that their way of worshipping the Gods came later
Some stories stay Hermaphrodites from birth was neither male nor female but both like his parents in all ways hence why intersex people until recent years was named from it.
@@2prider451 So are we just going to ignore that her dad was the king of Argos? Suidas s.v. Io (trans. Suda On Line) (Byzantine Greek lexicon C10th A.D.) : "Io : A name. Inakhos (Inachus), a king of Argos, founded a city which he named for the moon, Io, for that is what Argives call the moon. He also had a daughter Io; Pekos (Pecus) who is also Zeus abducted her and fathered a daughter, Libya, by her. And Io, lamenting her ruin, fled to the Silpion Mountain and there died. Her father and her brothers, when they learned this, built a shrine to her and called the place Iopolis and remained there until the end. And they performed a ritual in her memory, banging on each other's doors every year and saying ‘io, io!’"
One of my night care is not last night the night before was telling me how she started it and I’ll reduce it was a real life princess and the queen was jealous of her and pushed her into a snake of pit
@@user-hq3yv3hy7j nahhhh bruh she wasn't Helen's sister. There were only three kids not four: the twins castor and Pollux and Hellen. Clytemnestra wasn't Leda's and Tyndareus child
Maybe there are different version of the history. That happend a lot, for instance Hesiod and Homer had differnt stories about the gods and in which order they were born .
Why say Aurora? She is Eos in Greek mythology. Aurora is the Roman version, equivalent to Eos. And why is she Hellenic here as Aurora, but you made her later in the Trojan Cycles as a African Nubian character??? Does NOT make any sense.
Here's a funny video idea how about you make mythology what if basically the stores in mythology if but what if they took a different turn Like for example the story of Hephaestus trying to sleep with Athena but in that what if he would have gotten her pregnant
No no because Cadmus didn't wore any lion skin. Also, he was like a coward before finding Europa. Cadmus gained courage in order to save his sister from the beast
@@2prider451 So I couldn't get the exact numbers for where this is but here's an excerpt from Ovid that talks about Cadmus fighting the dragon. Go ahead and cross-reference it with Perseus Tufts "Clothed in a skin torn from a lion, he was armed, complete, with lance of glittering steel; and with a dart: but passing these he had a dauntless soul."
I'm really just waiting on this channel to get back to Yoruba mythology, or maybe do some biblical stories, slavic mythology or japanese history, or Chinese history.... All I'm seeing now a days is a lot of recycled stuff from old videos....😮💨😮💨😮💨
Greek mythology is incredibly boring. I love history but for some reason Mythology is not interesting. I am not interested in modern gods so that might have something to do with it.

I love Greek Mythology. My favorite subject in school growing up and they even offered a class at my college, that I took.
Yep you got me...i love Greek mythologies 😮😊🤷🏽♂️

Great that could be make a new game synopsis , but personally i want greek mythology combined Brazilian mythology stories
Hju
just be like the ancients greeks, drink wine and make up your own stories.
😅😅😅😅😅😮😅😮😅😅😊
Similarly, it's too bad the whole world didn't write down their stories at the time.
Why do we love Greek mythology? It’s fascinating🙏 thank you for such great work!
I took a book of Mythology from the library when I was 12 returned it 4 yrs later owing a $3 fine but my love of fables and tales has never died.
Love the story of Eros & Psyche 💕
I notice that some of its elements reappear in Beauty & The Beast
It's one if the best stories ever, I truly love it
Those Greeks really, really, really valued beauty.
Also, it's weird that Hermaphrodite was embarrassed about being a combination man/woman, but being a combination man/animal was totally fine.
They had a very interesting view of animals...
Just gonna drop a like before I even watch cuz the quality has never failed me here

Do you have a source for any of this?

Atalanta was married to meleandrus not Hippomenes. And also she was the one who defeated the calybonian boar.
There's two different versions. One with Melanion and the other with Hippomenes

Helios and Apollo are two different entities.
They are, but in some myths they get tossed around as the same god, i assume cause at one point or another they were each were the sun god/titian.

@@OtterPopSupreme no, Helios is the god of the Sun and Apollo is the god of light, arts, music, and healing. Helios just lost popularity over time.
@@aabs2008 I know, but when Apollo started being used as the new sun god some sources just merged them together I guess
Brb paused sobbing because of Clytie
We need more information on despina no one else has videos about her she’s barley even on google
Nice channel.
Love greek myth coz its always valiant character and very masculine in behaviour and figure
"In tribute to his *friend*" Historians will call them friends :(
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
wow that's super awesome hour full history history Greek i love that aye i love so much my dear brother father.
Why is Apollo and Helios being used interchangeably?
I wanna see Thor vs Hrungnir
Thor isn't Greek. Go to the the Norse mythology
Do you guys blew it on the Helio story?
Aphrodite i mean innana Ishtar already used this story in summarian mythology . I wish the annunaki used A.I to write these stories , instead of having one person write the worlds story running out of ideas
I don't understand the ascribing Greek gods to Egyptian as aren't the Egyptian gods older?
The Greeks believed that the Gods of other peoples were for the most part just their own Gods but under a different name. It didn't matter how old the culture was. They just thought that their way of worshipping the Gods came later
That’s actually quite interesting. When you think about it all the gods tend to have the same powers and embody the same concepts
Tell the end of greek mythology
There is no story retelling the end of the Greek Mythology.
Some stories stay Hermaphrodites from birth was neither male nor female but both like his parents in all ways hence why intersex people until recent years was named from it.
This was so interesting. All the names and colors has been changed according to the Bible.

Ancient Egyptians were White.
Phaeton is repeatedly mispronounced. Pretty basic stuff for a "History" channel.
