Every Greek God Explained in 11 Minutes

Its always deeply annoyed me that most media portrays Hades as "evil" when he's essentially one of the chillest Gods. Thank you for your accurate description.

“Another illegitimate child of Zeus” is perhaps the first example of a running gag in mythology

My favourite somewhat confusing detail of greek myth, is the fact that while Hades was the god of the dead, he was not the god of death. That was Thanatos

"He married Hera. His sister" 😬

Extra shout out to my boy Ares. One of the extraordinary feats of Ares is actually something that he didn't do: rape. Ares never forced himself upon a woman, mortal or divine and together with Aphrodite they represent the concept of consentual love. Also, Ares is often mocked because he's a barbarian (he's from Thrace and not from Greece, which also explains why isnt found too often in literature) and because he often sides with the losers... However, that is intentional by Ares. Whenever a god decides to intervene in a war, Ares intervenes on behalf of the other side to balance things out; caring more about a good fair battle then whatever the outcome is and means. In general Ares might be the most chill god of them all because his main behaviours are NOT raping women and NOT intervening with mortals. Thanks Ares, very cool

Slight correction: there are 2 pairs of gods that have the same name. The Primordial Chronus(also known as Father Time) and the Titan Kronos. They are not the same. Another pair is the Primordial Eros and God Eros

ZEUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED I COME SEEKING A WEED OF OLYMPUS

The fact that you’ve managed to summarize the complexity of the gods (you picked to perfect stories to reference) and not miss anything… it’s entertaining, interesting, and respectable. The one thing I feel like should be added on is the variation of the gods from city to city. The general attitude of each god changed so much depending on where you are, another part of mythology that’s interesting to research in itself.

I'm still disappointed that the god of war games never used all of them

Your YouTube videos always hit the spot. They are the perfect speed, knowledge and pacing for me right now. Keep up the great work! 😊💕

I read a lot of kid friendly Greek mythology books as a kid. I had no idea Cronos castrated his Dad 😅

Edit: ok yes, in some versions Hermes was an Olympian and hades isn’t, please stop filling my notifications Some inaccuracies ive noticed: 2:08 cronos did not band with all of the titans, some of them remained neutral. 3:05 pronounced heracles, hercules was the roman name 4:05 most versions of greek myths say athena's mother was the nymph metis 4:47 this only happened in more "recent" versions by another poet, original versions say medusa was hideous from birth 6:43 most of these are ares's children 8:11 hermes was not an olympian. I know you never said he was, but just wanted to clarify 10:15 hades did not cast mortal souls into tartarus, but rather the fields of punishment Overall pretty accurate, with just some minor details missed. Keep up the good work!

A slight correction is that Hercules is the Roman equivalent to Heracles, which is the original Greek name. Also fun fact about the name Heracles is that it means glory to Hera Edit: Just got new info so apparently: - Heracles was just a nickname, Alcides was his actual name. - The reason for his name Heracles was mainly because Hera accidentally breastfed him once - Hera breastfeeding Heracles was the reason why the milky way existed, because Heracles bit her nipples and the milk continued to come

Pretty sure your channel's gonna blow up soon, you provide great content kind sir

This channel is truly amazing. Even with the simplistic art style you have presented he information really well and I always learn from your videos. I'm excited for more!

Correction: Medusa was not raped by Poseidon, she was born a gorgon along with her two sisters. The idea of her being turned into a gorgon after being raped was made up by a Roman play writer hundreds of years after the original myth was created.
