[@whichcache2517]

From what I've heard, the reason you don't see Stheno or Euryale in most adaptations of Greek Mythologies is because they were "afterthoughts" in Greek Mythology. The way I heard it described, the Greeks really loved the idea of triads (The Big 3, Hekate the Triple Goddess, The Fates, The Furies, etc), so when they came up with Medusa, they gave her two sisters to "complete the set". I could be wrong, though.

[@sonofcronos7831]

The two of them are there since Hesiod Theogony. So they are not a aftertrought. They actually are the true enemies of Perseus, since he slays Medusa easily but has to escape her two sisters that he cannot kill since they are immortal. Medusa is also the weaker of the three since she can be killed, so is weird to left her sisters out of the story

[@whichcache2517]

@@sonofcronos7831 I think that might be where the confusion comes in. Medusa has a backstory and plays a part in Perseus' story, but then after she's dead, her sisters just kinda... show up. Mad that her sister's dead. And then Perseus escapes. And that's it. You don't really get a feel for who they are or what their deals are aside from character bios (Stheno, the most vicious; Euryale, who screams a lot), and their most notable contribution to the myths is that they're mad their sister's dead. It's no wonder that (to my knowledge) their most prominent roles in media are appearances in God of War, and Heroes of Olympus (sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians).

[@TheCrimsonElite666]

It's kind of like how most mythologies have at least one female monster whose whole purpose and personality is "eats children" and culturally serves as a bogeyman with no characterization whatsoever. There's a reason why most of them are universally unpopular and barely anyone cares about them nowadays, and a great example of this is Lamashtu from Mesopotamian mythology. She's an ugly-looking demon goddess whose best known trait is that she eats babies and terrorises women, yet despite being a daughter of Anu, she's not really that relevant to the actual main Mesopotamian stories (specifically stories like Epic of Gilgamesh and Inanna's Descent). I'm convinced that she only exists to demonstrate Pazuzu's role as a warding demon who protected pregnant women, and people only really talk about her when they're also talking about Pazuzu and Lilitu. Even the top paragraph of her own Wikipedia page compares her to Lilith in Jewish mythology, almost like her own page is trying to recommend a way more interesting figure to pay attention to. Her only real purpose is to be a bogeyman who scares children and mothers, literally the same purpose as Lamia from Greek mythology. These child-eating female monsters are afterthoughts that early mythology loved spamming, but we have exceptions like Baba Yaga because she at least has interesting character depth and fun stories.

[@whichcache2517]

@@TheCrimsonElite666 Yeah, when you mentioned female monsters that eat children, I thought "Wait, what about Lamia, doesn't she have a backstory that's kinda neat?" and I was right, that's exactly what it was leading to.

[@TheCrimsonElite666]

@@whichcache2517 The saddest part is that Lamia is popular not because of her character and her role in Greek culture, but because of the species she inspired that are incredibly popular in the monster girl fandom. I feel that the main point of Lamia's story was to demonstrate how much of a spiteful asshole Hera can be when Lamia was unlucky enough to be touched by Zeus's lightning bolt.

[@OptimusPhillip]

Sounds like the writers got the conception of Perseus confused with that of Heracles. Which is a little odd, considering that Heracles was a descendant of Perseus. Huh, I had no idea that version of the Medusa story was from Hesiod. I'd always thought that was a sanitized version of the Ovid story that came later. Interesting stuff. As I recall, Acrisius was basically exploiting a loophole to avoid being punished. Essentially, his logic was "if Danae and Perseus die at sea, then it's technically Poseidon's fault and not mine." I find it a little disturbing how common of a filicide tactic this was in the mythology, considering that the same method was used against Heracles and Atalanta, just off the top of my head. Unexpected Spaceballs, but much appreciated. For those curious, Thetis was instead married off to a mortal man named Peleus. And just as the prophecy said, Thetis bore Peleus a son stronger than him. You know him well, his name is Achilles.

[@sonofcronos7831]

In hesiod theogony Medusa is born from Phorkis and Cetus (a goddess, not the monster fish), and she is a gorgon from birth together with his two sisters. She get laid with Poseidon and births Pegasus and Crysaor from her neck after her death. But the story about Athena temple is from Ovid, not from Hesiod, i dont know from where the mythology guy get that from.

[@adrianbane4222]

I like that you brought up the different versions of Medusa. Most of the time people just accept Ovids telling because it was the latest, even though the other version existed. Also Ovid was known for rewriting existing stories for the sole purpose of making the gods worse, because he had a distain for authority figures. The gods didn't need help being bad people Ovid. Also Ovid's telling doesnt make sense because Medusa wasnt the only gorgon. She had 2 sisters.

A few notes about the kraken: 1. Harryhausen was well aware that it wasn't from Greek Mythology. He just wanted to make it because he had already made a lot of dragons and sea monsters in his career. 2. Though we now think of the kraken as being a cephalopod, it took a while before this interpretation stuck. Medieval and renaissance depictions vary from depicting it as a squid, whale, or lobster. In the earliest stories about the kraken, the only consistent detail is that it was big enough to be confused for an island.

In the middle of the new task Heracles (who's become a god at this point) appears to Phylios and helps him realize Cycnus is a jerk who's leading him on. So Phylios quits mid-task and breaks up with Cycnus. (Cycnus then kills himself)

[@AtlasJotun]

I never viewed lack of accuracy as a problem for the reboot or the original film. The amount of divergent tellings of so many popular myths demonstrates that we're rarely married to the specifics of the story; as these tales have been evolving since they were contemporary, it doesn't bother me that we make changes long into antiquity so long as the older versions remain intact and distinct. The one mythological mash-up that felt discordant to me was the djinn: interesting and mysterious characters in their own right, but seemingly shoe-horned in just to solve a problem that the writers created. Or perhaps it's the other way around, and Acrisius' blood spawning monsters creates a reason for introducing the djinn. Between the scorpions and the desert setting, it does feel a bit like someone was just dying to squeeze in these super-cool characters and made plot changes to justify their inclusion.

[@krankarvolund7771]

If I recall correctly, Acrisius threw Danae and Perseus in the sea BECAUSE he wanted to avoid the punishment of killing his own child, otherwise he would probably just killed them regulary ˆˆ And I guess Zeus didn't punished him because in the end, both Danae and Perseus survived XD

With a little help from Merlin, of course. It's kind of funny that this movie ends up using stuff from OTHER Mythologies a lot more than it does with Greek Mythology.

[@MoskHotel]

I'd imagine that's how Uther got Morgana as his actual daughter in Merlin, rather than his stepdaughter.

28:01 can you imagine how strong Heracles or Kratos (GoW) would be if Thetis was their mother instead?

[@nutmegdoesstuff1339]

"His mom was actually still alive and healthy, and his fisherman stepdad not only doesn't die, but ends up becoming a king!" "But... main character need tragic backstory..."

[@theendersmirk5851]

23:26 In the writer's defense for that line... it *is* Zeus. The issue is taking that line seriously, he's definitely a big enough hypocrite to make that claim in spite of everything he has ever done.

5:37 and why did they make hades sound like Voldemort?

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

They got the Voldemort actor so by god, they’re gonna get a Voldemort performance

I was thinking the Pharoah of the Exodus.

[@KatOwO2235]

honestly hearing how nice Hades was in Greek Mythology, I can just imagine him being a Walmart greeter to people who die and end up in the underworld, saying things like "hi, welcome to the underworld, sorry that you died and hope you rest well"

[@Vinceras]

Not gonna lie, even with all the inaccuracies, old school Clash of the Titans is still the singular movie that made me fall in love with Greek Mythology and Mythology as a whole. I watched it dozens of times when I was a kid. The newer one....well, I watched it once and that was MORE than enough. Great video...I found myself correcting stuff right along side you or chuckling all throughout!

[@lovedrunk201]

THANK YOU!!! Been waiting for this!!

[@ajax1241]

I don't think Acrisus' blood spawned the scorpions, I think they were already there and the blood (which appeared acidic) just made them mad. See the killed one, then three bigger ones showed up, as though they were adults responding to a child's distress. I know his hand turned into a monster thing but I don't think that's connected in the way the soldiers think it is.

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

"I know his HAND turned into a monster thing but I don't think that's connected in the way the soldiers think it is." Yeah. It's also 'not connected' to his wrist anymore! Up top!!

I enjoy the fact that I was once a moderator for myth guy's Discord. I'm not anymore cause I had moved on to other stuff but it was fun. Love the content, I'm always hyper focused on Mythology, religion and philosophy.

I’ve always loved the 2010 remake, the kraken was nothing more than spectacular and its sequel was awesome.

[@Asathegoopy]

I definitely never thought of it as a fave, but I like it. It’s got a charm and a dumb fun edge to it. And yes, that kraken was freaking cool

[@greninjastorm6734]

Plus it brought us the most epic line ever delivered by Mr. Liam Neeson

[@douglasbeckman162]

Funny, my biggest beef with this movie was why Perseus had a buzz cut

[@NeroCM]

If I may be so bold: if this movie is using the Roman version of Medusa's origins, her sisters obviously wouldn't be in her lair with her, as she wouldn't have them. Euryale and Steno are from her oldest origin story, but they don't appear in the more recent ones.

[@stefanpior544]

If schools taught Greek myths like this video. I would have learned the shit out of mythology!

[@ofaznadarxmkiii8476]

14:17 "Clash Of The Myths" apparently wasn't a Strong Sounding Title.

[@thelogicalcaveman9139]

Thank you for this I have been waiting for this for months now

[@madisonseyfried9298]

Great video! I had no idea about Zeus almost marrying Thetis, I always heard that she fled from both him and Poseidon until the prophecy came out. I also didn't know about Medusa's blood spawning snakes. And you perfectly replicated my reaction to the djinn being in the remake. I like the look of the djinn, but their presence was about as mind-boggling as the vulture from the original. I thought it interesting, or maybe you just didn't think it worth mentioning, that Bubo's name is LATIN for OWL, which obviously shouldn't have been a thing yet. Also not sure why the Graeae Sisters were cannibals in both versions. I was also wondering if you knew of any gods cursing mortals with agelessness for any reason, because I didn't come across anything like that. I guess not. I also wanted to point out with the ridiculous amount of race-swapping we've been seeing in films lately. The remake missed an opportunity to make Andromeda black given that she was a princess of Ethiopia. Since everyone (or rather the media) wants a black princess/queen so badly, they could easily do that with Andromeda and make it accurate! Sure, by that logic, Cleopatra should have been black (which has been debunked A LOT thanks to her family tree), but as far as I know, anyone who complains of Andromeda being black wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on like with Cleopatra. Thanks so much for honoring my request! Look forward to seeing your next video! Do you think you could look into some Greek character skins for Dead By Daylight? I'd love to know your thoughts on them, because while I like a lot of them, and some seem pretty accurate, there are some that are just hilariously (or horrifyingly) off (ex: The Clown's Hades skin).

[@CallMeDean97]

Am I the only one who wants to see "Every Mythological Inaccuracy" in the Devil May Cry series? I mean, DMC doesn't really have a connection to any mythology at all, but the names of certain characters and creatures are taken from various mythologies, like Geryon, Beowulf, Angi & Rudra, etc.

[@MrMechaMan]

Love your videos man 👍🏽 well done in teaching people about Greek mythology

[@daleketchup7434]

Wait wait, you say Hades helps Perseus. What does he do? Does he like grant some weapon? Did he allow him access through the underworld like Heracles? What he do?

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

There are versions of the story where Hades gives Perseus his helmet of invisibility for his journey. But there are others that say he received a cap (or helmet) of invisibility from Athena or Hermes.

[@sonofcronos7831]

Perseus helmet of invisibily comes from Hades. But is at least one writer however that says that Hades handing out his main item is stupid and Perseus helmet was inferior to the true invisibily helmet.

[@ΣοφοκληςΒλαχόπουλος-ι9ν]

​@@sonofcronos7831 I mean Poseidon is not the only one with a trident. Close family members also have them like Amphitrite and Triton. It's just that his is more powerful maybe

[@sonofcronos7831]

@@ΣοφοκληςΒλαχόπουλος-ι9ν your argument dont mean that much since there is a lot of godly tridents, but only one helmet of invisibily (unless you count Perseus helmet as a different one).

[@tommyfishhouse8050]

31:56 Harryhausen actually wanted it to be Cerberus in this scene but they had trouble getting the stop motion puppet for a three headed dog to look right. So they reduced. the heads from 3 to 2. I have no idea if they actually knew there was a two headed dog in Greek mythology.
