What should the next Every Inaccuracy video be? The 2010 movie is first because when I asked people which movie they’d prefer I do, they overwhelmingly voted for the new one. I decided to add in the 1981 movie while the video was being edited just so everyone could be satisfied.

[@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.

[@Blokewood3]

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.

A few things. 1. Thank you so much for doing this! I saw COTT 2010 for the first time last year and I actually riffed on it, pointing out it's inaccuracies myself while doing so. I was inspired by you. 2. There is a giant vulture in Greek mythology if you count the Prometheus vulture. Though it is described as an eagle in more sources than a vulture. 3. There's an episode of Friendship is magic that features Orthrus! In fact, there are a lot mythological creatures that appear on Friendship is magic, most of them Greek.

[@Superdm64]

That's actually not meant to be Orthrus. Ray Harryhausen originally wanted to do Cerberus but found that the 3 heads were difficult to animate and so he created his own creature, which he called Dioskilos. The original Clash of the Titans, despite all its quirks and inaccuracies, is one of my favorite fantasy films. Glad to see you show it some love here and not just the abysmal remake.

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)

I actually really enjoy the reboot. I saw it when I was young and thought at the time it was awesome. It helped me get into studying Greek mythology. Unfortunately not too accurate to the traditional myths and legends in retrospect unfortunately.

[@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.

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).

Hey Mythology Guy, have you ever heard of Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Greek Myths? It's only four episodes and their all on KZbin. Might be fun to review them, either one vid per ep or all at once, as it has perhaps the most accurate Medusa in any media, given that it's the only one I know that has her sisters with her in every scene and gives her WINGS!

[@Smooby_Dooperson]

This is legit one of my top 3 favorite KZbin channels 🔥

[@thegayghost872]

I’ve been looking forward to this!

[@refertomeasdylan9999]

Finally!

[@HishamA.N_Comicbroe]

The 2010 film really does get a lot of right imo but there's so much weird & changed stuff too.

[@eddyweddyw8137]

i love your vid, subscribed!!

[@sarabear5122]

First time I’ve been updated on a video for a while 😇 missed your channel!

[@johngallagher9354]

I'd like to see an every inaccuracy of Kid Icarus Uprising, a very good game and lots to talk about.

[@Toman_Diablo]

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

[@jeffreygao3956]

I was thinking the Pharoah of the Exodus.

[@Dmen95]

I love this movie and your videos MythologyGuy

[@CrazyGamingYT56]

Love your content keep up the great work

[@legolasackerman588]

you made two mistakes there my friend ( not to be a boomer or anything, I really like your channel and content so much :) ) 1- 13:24 Djinn do exist in Islamic lore and Arabian folk tales, they are speaking Arabic in this movie btw so I guess this is the version they are going with. 2- 28:23 this is not a Sphinx, it's called a Lamasu or a Winged bull. and this design is Mesopotamian, for there has been two old designs, one is Assyrian and the other is Babylonian. the persians did have another design of the Lamasu as could be seen in the city of Persepolis, but this was much later when they got highly influenced by the Mesopotamian architecture once they controlled that region. p.s. the 2010 ver did actually feature a gate with two Lamasu statues around the same sequence with scorpions and all.

i want people to know and especially @The Mythology Guy to know that i love record of ragnarok and i know its trashy but i can't change who i am!!!! so go ahead and blame me.. also at this point do i even have to say good video your video essays on mythical Inaccuracies are always bangers, keep up the great content and really looking forward to playing your card game with my best friend

[@user-zf4kv9ou2i]

It is a good day when one of these videos are posted Still a classic, loved the call back to Hercules

[@randomsquisheesparkles794]

I watched the old one was a kid and I dont remember much except of being distrubed as a god, probably Zeus, crushed the the statue of a man that then screamed and acted like his body was broken. These inaccuracy videos are great, please keep doing more.

[@doctorteethomega]

I get this way about the Thor movies and other modern adaptations of Norse mythology. Marvel had Freya, the goddess of the Home, be defeated in her OWN HOME.

[@ximiraxelo4950]

Man, poor Bellerophon, almost all greek heros ride Pegasus on cinema, and there isn't one about him.

[@nospamgaming6682]

did you hear what Bellerophon do to the chimera

[@hacker12224]

another banger thanks mythology guy now i gotta watch the others again

[@ebbea6395]

i love this video!! i hope you do more similar to this one XD

[@Dafpea1]

Love your content

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

Thank you

[@denniswilliams6519]

Two for the price of one huh? What a lovely development!

[@SYNTHBORNE]

I just watched the 2010 movie again and was wondering if you would make a video about it. And sure enough you did! I enjoy your videos!

[@meraketh]

Hi there! Thank you for the video, great work as always! Ever thought of doing an inaccuracy video on Immortals Fenyx Rising game. It is set in Greek mythology, and though the story itself I don't think has anything to do with any event in mythology, but there are a lot, I mean a lot of references on Greek mythology.

[@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.

[@daleketchup7434]

Wait wait, this movie says Zeus was in disguise as the king to bang his queen. That’s fucking Heracles’s thing! This was how he was conceived!

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

They be mixing a lot of stories here

[@ImIndavyjoneslocker]

another great vid man

[@timothyfrasier8218]

This was a great video can't wait for the sequel to Clash of the Titans

[@jeffreygao3956]

Was waiting for this and it exceeded expectations! Also, 8:41 Haven’t I read this happening already? Something involving Noah? PS In fairness to Artemis, Actaeon deserved it. PPS 0:48 So...#themythologyguysaysequalrights?

[@ladykoiwolfe]

You know those Christians... always stealing from the Pagans. And they never give any acknowledgements in that book, like no references given, ever!

[@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!!

[@dococ3272]

You’re so right on every Inaccuracy, yet I still absolutely love this film in both timelines, I liked the 81 as a child even though I was definitely too young, and therefore fell in love with the hd remake lol. 😅

[@jhonkramerjigsaw1490]

Andrew !!! You’re the kindest person and you give me a very good vibe .I truly love you’re channel .❤❤❤❤❤ can you do about GOW4 and 5?

[@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.
