honestly im surprised that no company has tried making movies based off greek heroes culminating in jason in the argonauts like a cinematic universe. its like... right there.

[@ViApp0]

The greek myth characters are severely underpowered compared to the modern superheroes. So you either give everyone myth inaccurate stuff to make them look cooler or the whole "cinematic universe" ends up pretty mild and not that interesting to the viewer.

@@ViApp0 Not everyone likes impervious or nearly impervious heroes larger than life. Having weaknesses is way more interesting than an almost immortal one.

[@ViApp0]

@ I'm not talking about weaknesses though, but the general scale of conflict.

[@TheRezro]

@ That is not the problem. Problem is that Greek myths are actually just about quite horrible humans and even more horrible gods screwing them. Basically every good subplot was already used. Most stories is just about bad people backstabbing each other.

[@nathanial8587]

stabbed through the mouth? well that's a new one, because I am familiar with a version in which the Chimera was slain by Bellerophon via stabbing her in the heart with his lead tipped spear after tricking the monster into breathing fire into it, which gave her lead poisoning soon after and funnily enough, Apollo was in the previous movie, and Athena was mentioned in the previous movie too, lol

According to a lot of texts Zeus main enemies where Cronus, Iapetus (the general of Cronus and the most violent one) and Coeus. Poseidon is cited as a enemy of Aegeon, a gigantic being son of Pontos and Gaia. Hades is not described with no particular enemy however. But if we go by Apollodorus, them all three gods fighted Cronus until they over powered him.

1:30 Interesting that two of his sons were named after titans. 2:59 I thought that was exactly what Zeus was refering to. 3:14 Well, then by definition it has walls. Pits have walls. Of course, if the walls of a pit fall down, then the things that were in the pit stay in the pit. You just can't remove them, nor put more things there. 14:15 I wouldn't want such job. Not that it is necessary. IIRC, Kronos wasn't against humans, just against Olympians, specifically his direct children. And since it appears that the whole worship thing only applies to Olympians, and Kronos is not an Olympian, he might be able to keep humans alive in spite of the Olympians dying of prayer starvation.

[@doncalicula7938]

It's funny that there was actually one of the Titans who could flee Tartarus, even if he was captured again in the end. According to Valerius Flaccus, Koios Tartaros is said to have escaped and tried to escape from the underworld because he had gone mad. Which makes sense since he was considered the god of reason and was therefore said to have been the smartest among the Titans.In the end he couldn't escape Kerberos and was brought back by the Erinyes and surrounded by the Hydra. Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 3. 224 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) : "Coeus in the lowest pit [of Tartaros] burst the adamantine bonds and trailing Jove's [Zeus'] fettering chains invokes Saturnus [Kronos (Cronus)] and Tityus, and in his madness conceives a hope of scaling heaven, yet though he repass the rivers and the gloom the hound [Kerberos (Cerberus)] of the Furiai [Erinyes] and the sprawling Hydra's crest repel him." The Titans are also said to have been freed from their punishment after Prometheus Unbound. Aeschylus, Prometheus Unbound (lost play) : In Aeschylus' lost play Prometheus Unbound the chorus consisted of the Titan sons of Ouranos--Krios, Koios, Iapetos and Hyperion (and perhaps also Kronos)--released by Zeus from Tartaros. It is not known if the brothers were named in the play or individualised in any way.

Prometheus created man & He's a titan. 5:15 - False! Ares was most known for wielding *a spear.* It's why the Spartans did it. It's why the symbol for the male gender is a spear & shield, while Aphrodite's mirror is the symbol of the female sex. 6:17 - It could've existed. Do you know how spotty historical records dating back that far are? 18:30 - Bellerophon & Cadmus were alive around the same time as Perseus in Greek Mythology.

My question is why Hollywood keeps making Kronos a lava monster. That doesn't match up with either of his domains (The Harvest or Time, depending on the version). This is the second time I've seen this and it is very confusing.

[@sonofcronos7831]

He is a heavenly god like Zeus. His only elemental power described is actually Ice (it is discribed in a passage in Nonus Dionysiaca that he threw ice spears against Zeus). Ironic how the god that can throw ice at people is portreyd as a lava monster.

bc lava monster big and scary

11:02 you know there can be more than one labyrinth and him building a labyrinth wouldn’t be another inaccuracies additional to him building all of tartarus and all the other things about “the labyrinth is different from the one in the myth” would be no longer inaccuracies, since this can be another labyrinth.

[@thegeneralgamer4921]

but it has the Minotaur, and there's only one of those, and it was only in one specific maze, making it still an inaccuracy.

This video really makes me want to see someone make movies about Greek legends that are actually faithful to the mythology. How awesome would that be?

When will you cover Helluva Boss?

[@michaelmarto69]

why helluva boss

[@boxier7gaming]

@@michaelmarto69 because it's based off of Christian/Occult mythology.

@@boxier7gaming it's based but highly inaccurate. hell is a cage for the devil and demons,not some paradise with blackjack and hookers

[@jeffreygao3956]

Yup, this ending DID suck out 90% of the good stuff from Classical mythology. PS Anyone going to ask why is Kronos made of lava? He was the King of the Gods, god of harvest, and sometimes god of time. How does that translate into magma?

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

I didn’t mention that because it can be argued that he merged with the environment of Tartarus during all his time there

Also, solid Odyssey reference with the no body line.

Ah yes, Demons used as a term for evil. Take a shot for "Christian influence on the film industry" Hell, another shot. And the story is essentially fighting back rapture. Three shots!

I do gotta say that their take on Tartarus is incredibly cool.. and how my brain always kinda envisioned it.. i always felt it was like a prison. Glad to have learned its more like the Marianas Trench.. which is still metal af

[@barrygormley3986]

Minor point, but any of the gods CAN send people dreams even if they’re not gods of dreams. Athena does this several times in The Odyssey, and Zeus speaks directly through one of Odysseus’ servants at one point. The Greeks seem to have often spoke of a “a god” putting thoughts and visions into their heads without specifying which god it was.

[@lycanhussar]

i would like to say that the word Daemon does translate to demon, also the way you described them "personification for fear longing and punishment, sounds like beings of hell to me."

[@godzillakingofthemonsters54]

The chimera is sometimes depicted as being part dragon, that could be where they got the wings from.

4:52-maybe Poseidon having lighting is a reference to him being a God of Storms

[@mindfighter1]

I like how I know about the Gigantomachy because of greek mythology being used in manga like Leveling with the Gods

[@ankitbhardwaj6640]

I like it how every movie and game that has the Greek gods. Make Poseidon look weak, and die first. He's the second strongest god in the mythology.
