God's School Vs Real Greek Mythology

[@GodsSchool]

@CartoonUniverse Thanks for the video ☺️✨

[@CartoonUniverse]

Thank you so much for watching! Any chance you'd say if Prometheus is a planned character... and maybe if there will be a way to audition for him?

[@GodsSchool]

@CartoonUniverse He is not a planned character in the series at the moment, but I'll let you know. I want to include Pandora in the episodes at some point, so maybe Prometheus as well.

[@dylancsgames54]

Bruh it I found it hilarious that people don’t know Zeus and Hera are bother and sister but are also marrieds

[@zecora_gacha]

It's true but I think they are not related in the series. I remember Hades voice actor saying that although he and Persephone are related in the series they are not

[@dylancsgames54]

It but it fun to think about how messed up it is like how hades was Persephone uncle

[@zecora_gacha]

@@dylancsgames54 Yeah it is

[@dongcelmatthew]

I thought hera was his cousin not sister

[@Billy-maximoff-97]

It’s kinda funny sense they both have blue eyes and that orangish hair color it’s not really red hair but it’s like a orangish brown

[@LadyCeag840]

My favorite part of this show was how they portrayed Hades and Persephone’s budding romance. They were always my favorite Greek Gods couple, and the show really emphasized how much they actually cared and possibly interacted with one another!

[@arandomthingintheabyss2062]

it also the closest thing to a healthy couple in greek mythology

[@robertmolnar8543]

Athena is the daughter of not only Zeus but also the oceanid Metis who was Zeus's first wife and helped him free his siblings from Cronus's stomach, she was swallowed whole by Zeus after she got pregnant because it was learned that she would one day bear a son mightier than his father. Athena grew inside of Zeus which eventually gave him a headache so bad his head needed to be ripped open which was done by Hephaestus by Hermes' recommendation from which Athena came out fully grown similar to how Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, & Poseidon came of Cronus fully grown.

[@robertmolnar8543]

While Persephone originally didn't want to be married to Hades, she eventually grew into her roles both as Wife of Hades & Queen of the Underworld

[@nintendogamerkid350]

That's called Stockholm syndrome (P.S I love these two relationship throughout Greek mythology)

[@robertmolnar8543]

@@nintendogamerkid350 No it's more akin to Belle from beauty and the Beast especially since Persephone was only trapped in the Underworld for half a year at a time and unlike most gods save Hera was more loyal to her marriage than most others, Zeus & Aphrodite are prime examples

[@gabrielcrispimdebarros9054]

Persephone was so loyal to Hades that she had a lover (Adonis) lol

[@robertmolnar8543]

@@gabrielcrispimdebarros9054 I said MORE loyal not COMPLETELY loyal and at least she wasn't as promiscuous as Zeus or as flippant as Aphrodite

[@Beados10]

Bruh this is such perfect timing because my friend LOVES Greek mythology and I’m coming over to her house today, imma tell her about this show and video

[@Bezaliel13]

Did not expect this to be covered.

[@GodsSchool]

Me neither 😊✨

[@CartoonUniverse]

@@GodsSchool Loving the show! Will there be a Prometheus? and if so.... is it possible to audition?

[@GodsSchool]

@@CartoonUniverse Thank you! I still don't know if he will appear in the episodes, but I'll let you know :) (And I really liked your video ☺️)

[@CartoonUniverse]

Awesome, looking forward to more episodes!

[@Thesongsofcrazymo]

Unpopular opinion but I kinda think it would be cooler if Aphrodite and Hephaestus were the unhealthy couple arguing instead of ares and Aphrodite, because in the myths, they were hella toxic, in one version, neither of them wanted the marriage, in one version Hephaestus quite literally forced Aphrodite to marry him, so it would’ve been cooler like that

[@RoseCkandle]

The creators had said they don’t want it to fully follow Greek mythology and throw in unexpected stuff that shows up.

[@MissLavancei]

I think the show is really good and I can't wait for you to cover it more ❤

[@SolverCyn-vx1kv]

Well Gaia and uranus comes from primordial chaos which a few times has been personify as a God itself and no just as a concept

[@Lxmi18]

I LOVE THE SERIES!!! I've been a fan of Greek mythology as a kid.

[@mr.witherhmc9304]

Maybe Kronos is having the gods attend this school in a bid to keep his rule, if they are always arguing amongst each other, they may not be worthy of the ambrosia and godhood

[@Billy-maximoff-97]

I guess in this universe Kronos didn’t listen to the oracle and didn’t eat his children and they didn’t overthrow him

[@LukeMassie-lv3kb]

Actually Athena is the child of Zeus and Métis (Zeus’s first wife) who Zeus ate to prevent the birth of one of Zeus’s sons who was prophesied to overthrow him.

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

Gods School is a very interesting series but I still wish they released more episodes like the other company who did Monster High, Ever After High and DC Girls Super High, because If they have then we could see more episodes of Gods'School on KZbin instead of having to wait a whole year for the next episode. I know this is different and it sounds impossible as this series is done by one creator but if this person could have more team to help then perhap we could see more episodes but this is my own opinion anyway.

[@brehlsaya6236]

He is working on it by himself lol

[@embermoto]

If it was a company working on it that might be possible. The show is being indie made by one person. I am honestly impressed that we are getting more than one episode a year with how good the quality of the episode are.

[@Monkicos]

In myth wise, you can't really fault Zeus too much on marrying his sister on account that his generation at the time was the only one that existed that wasn't his parents or grand parents- at least she's the same age as him-/lh, hj

[@brehlsaya6236]

But he raped her to force her in marriage 🧍🏾

[@embermoto]

@@brehlsaya6236 that's kind of par for the course when it comes to Greek mythology.

[@milicalabovic2787]

I loved this series! ❤

[@animegirlhaven]

I am glad about the Greek myth or legends based on Greek myths, but in high school, their lives as young people will be portrayed as they get older.

[@BjörnHaakonson-z3d]

The patron deity of Sparta was Artemis not Ares

[@Leedleleedlelee123]

The crazy part is how accurate that both Hera and Zeus having red hair and blue eyes since they're siblings! I really love the details!

[@fandomonium3789]

I just hate seeing this show try to woobiefy Hephaestus and trying to make Aphrodite x Hephaestus look like a healthy ship when Aphrodite hated his guts, loudly rejected him at every turn, kept seeing her actual beloved because she's not going to be held back like that, and eventually got a divorce from him. She was not having that marriage, and to try and paint it as a happy relationship is a disservice to Aphrodite and her stories. To be fair, I dislike any series that tries to make Hephaestus look like the good guy. He blackmailed Zeus into getting Aphrodite, then threw a fit when she wouldn't let him touch her, and cursed Harmonia because she was one of Aphrodite's and Ares' children. Hephaestus is not the soft woobie good option in this love triangle and I'm tired of people painting him in this fake sympathetic light. Ares is not a kind god, but one thing he can be given credit for is that he never once tried to claim Aphrodite as his property. He never once tried to pressure her into marriage, and he's rarely ever gotten butthurt about her children with Dionysus, Hermes, or King Anchises. Sure, he killed Adonis out of jealousy, but Aphrodite cursed Eos out of jealousy, so Aphrodite and Ares are both screwed up in the same way. In the messed up family that is the Olympians, Ares is the right kind of crazy to balance out Aphrodite in a flattering way, whereas Hephaestus tried to claim and own her, and got what he deserved. You can't own Love, you can't pressure it into submission, and you can't demand Love on your terms. It has to give itself to you willingly. And he learned that lesson the hard way because she gave herself to literally anyone that wasn't him.

[@princesserika9899]

I'm assuming you read Hephaestus in other versions where he's portrayed as a possessive guy

[@fandomonium3789]

@@princesserika9899 It happens a lot in kid-friendly media that wants to make Aphrodite x Ares the bad couple so they can hold up Aphrodite x Hephaestus as the "good couple" in contrast. It often smacks of writers upset that Aphrodite has this nice guy and keeps ignoring him for hot jerk Ares without looking any deeper at WHY she likes Ares. It's usually the takes with a driveby understanding of Greek Mythology that do this. And it's frustrating when people simplify the situation to suit their own interests. Its like the woman who wrote about the "pre-misogyny version" of the Abduction of Persephone story TOTALLY had Persephone walk into the underworld of her own free will to sanitize the story for her daughter. Or the version of Aphrodite's birth I remember reading as a kid where the moment she was born every god started fighting over her, and so Zeus had all the gods offer her gifts and she CHOSE Hephaestus. It's usually not a sin of real greek mythology fans, but those who use the stories for their own agendas that perpetuate these negative perceptions.

[@princesserika9899]

@@fandomonium3789 Honestly, I like this show's portrayal of Hephaestus. I think different versions of Greek myths are valid and I don't mind if Ares is a good guy while Hephaestus is not and if Ares is a jerk while Hephaestus is not. I'm okay with it, I just want to enjoy Greek myths

[@ebonyblack4563]

Lore Olympus is another Greek Myth based story running on the premise that this is what happened but the humans told it wrong due to skewed perspective.

I really like this show. I just wish that the episodes were longer.

[@piercepayumo4212]

Can't be helped. Its all made by ONE person. If he had a full crew, MAYBE they would've been longer.

I have been following this series since the beginning. They release one or two episodes per year.

[@CameronConkle-g4r]

Dear Cartoon Universe, could you perhaps do a review of the new fan series called the Big G by ALVIN? I would like you to first watch all the episodes so far and give me your two cents and relevance of it. It's a Hazbin fan series about a character oddly left out of the actual show. You might find his name in your local Bible and on US currency. If you know who I'm talking about then you should definitely watch it and it's funny as hell itself. Again that's the Big G by youtube channel ALVIN.

[@rin_yen9390]

Thing is, Athena was born from a marriage. Zeus' marriage before Hera with Metis, the woman who helped him free his siblings from his father by giving him a potion that made him vomit them out. Only reason she isn't around is because Zeus subsumed her into himself when she was pregnant which led to Athena popping out his head.

[@Greener-eo8bf]

It sad to see Ares as a jerk jock check boy. Ares despite being God of War somehow has more standards and reasonable God. Ares is like his uncle(Hades) his a misunderstood God for earning a title. Ares is not rebellious to other Olympian Gods his more loyal toward other Gods yet he still get hated by other Gods even his own parents (Zeus and Hera). Heck, Ares being a God of War is against of prisoners of war, pillaging, rape, and other things that bad things happened during the battle. Ares is a honored God he respects the bravest and fighting spirit warrior whether be man or woman. Unlike his half sister Athena, is more loved and respected by other Gods yet Athena act more terrible things then Ares ever could. She cursed Medusa, get salty the time she got defeated during the weaving contest, also she literally join the rebellion against her own father Zeus yet she get away from it. While Ares didn't join the rebellion yet he still get punish by his own father. While keep begging for forgiveness and still got hated. Maybe in the next episode or season that we see Ares act as a better God and defensive because during the Titan arrive at the Olympic School I wish Ares joined the fight and stand alongside Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, and Artemis. You know to showcase that his not a coward God.

[@lunerblade13]

4:11 wasn’t athena born from Zeus’s head because Zeus’s first wife was devoured/absorbed because a prophecy was that her first child would surpass Zeus.

[@mx9226]

Wow. I think I watched the first episode years ago.

[@Billy-maximoff-97]

Oh and as a character in this show I don’t remember who pointed out they’re immortal they can’t die from anything so Gaia isn’t dying and Kronos can’t be sustaining his life by eating gods because he’s immortal

[@CartoonUniverse]

Nah, Kronos makes it clear it takes sustained drinking of Ambrosia to stay immortal, but even with that Gaia expresses becoming too old to handle the Gods. Immortality does not mean perfection.

[@Billy-maximoff-97]

what immortality does mean is death doesn’t happen for them at least from age but I can see where your coming from

[@CartoonUniverse]

All im expressing is that in addition to ambrosia making them immortal, kronos could be devouring his children to maintain strength, where Gaia is growing weak.

[@Billy-maximoff-97]

I guess we just have to wait until the next episode

[@raquimsuil7127]

4:16 Actually the main god of Sparta was Apollo And Athena is born from the literal union of Zeus and Metis (his first wife); Zeus either ate or absorbed Metis to avoid a prophecy. 10:14 Kronos castrates Uranus, does not kill him; From the testicles of Uranus that fall into the sea (Or Pontus) Aphrodite is born.

Aphrodite has also been described as the daughter of Zeus and Dione rather than having been formed from the foam created Ouranos's castration

it's not a spin-off of those shows. it's an indie project. its probably at least in part inspired by those shows.
