Greek Gods - SNL

Zeus (Jason Sudeikis) summons the gods to Mt. Olympus to solve the financial crisis in Greece. Realizing no Greek god is in charge of economics, Zeus brings in a strict German god (Fred Armisen) to deal with the problem. [Season 37, 2011]

[@OnlyHuman24]

Alright, here are some tips on Greek mythology for clarification: 1. Hermes was the god of Commerce and trade, thus being the most fitted for god of finance. 2. Hades is NOT god of wealth. That's Plutus (Πλούτος) whose name literally means wealth and riches. NOT to be confused with Pluto (Πλούτων), which is a euphemistic name for Hades, god of the underworld and the dead. Plutus and Pluto are NOT THE SAME. Greek mythology can be a bit confusing sometimes and has a lot of things going on. (I should know, as a Greek and an individual that has spent hours studying on them).

[@spacemonkey1386]

Hades was never named, he wasn't spoken of, Plutus was hades, the name that can be spoken outloud.

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

Hades is a trickster god who is also jealous of Zeus... or was that just the disney movie?

[@jackalhead7433]

@@OnlyHuman24 Hades was initially the god of the underworld and therefore the place where the dead reside but as the time progressed in order to give Hades a better less grim image the Greeks also associated him with wealth and gave him the name Pluton since Greeks literally believed that the underworld lied beneath our feet so did all the precious metals such as gold, silver, gems etc considered also part of Hades' domain or sphere of influence By the time the Romans came in contact with the Greeks Hades was already known as Pluton

Zeus is very good at planning and thinking logically... If the object is to find a way to sleep with someone

Bro Zeus is literally the most benevolent being in the myths. He is the most reasonable of all. In fact they wrote specific stories to show how good a leader is, when Hera, Apollo etc drugged and tied him up to overthrow him, all Zeus did was hang her by chains between heaven and Earth (above the pit of chaos in some versions). That's literally less punishment than a real life person would receive for drugging and tying someone up. Any other god would have thrown them all to tartarus.

[@EnchanterXD]

Charlie Day as Dionysus was by far the best casting choice I'll see in 10 years

[@TheGamingDistrict1]

Hades suggesting they get rid of everyone always makes me laugh because Hades was actually considered the richest god due to him having default ownership of every single mineral and gemstones that grew from the earth (including gold), and was VERY efficient at managing his wealth.

The Greek God of wealth is actually, Hades.

[@OnlyHuman24]

No it's not. That's Plutus, whose name literally means wealth and riches. You're thinking Pluto, Hades' euphemistic name.

There are two gods of 'economy' actually... Hermes and Hades, hermes was the patron of traders and hades the patron of banking and currency in greece

Dude if the actually u r referring to here refers to the facts in the video,then u r correct but if it refers to the actual Greek Mythology,Hades was the Lord of the underworld and master of Thanos when Roman Mythology adopted Hades into the role of Pluto,he assumed an extra role as the God of Wealth coz of the Roman logic that the wealth(minerals and rare gems ,precious stones) comes from the earth ,Hermes was the God of Thieves,travellers and of trade....

Yup, I was about to say the same thing about Hades, though Hermes is also the God of Trade, so both of them should've been involved. Although the Yanni bit was funny, the God of Music is actually Apollo.

This sketch is so well written...from the German god Klout to the Greek god of music Yanni (who is Adam Levine)

[@woodrobin]

Apollo's the Greek God of music (amongst other things), but the Yanni joke was good. Hades is the God of wealth (since gold, silver, etc. are mined from under the earth, and he's in charge of everything below the surface), but it would have killed the joke if he just told the Greeks where to dig . . . and you have to have money for mining equipment and paying miners, so it would've been too late for that anyway.

[@JerichoJulius0]

Hear her out... War can actually bring financial stability. Might take some cost in the beginning, but in the end, it'll bring golds, loots, and *ahem* slaves to support a realm, which helps a lot in solving a financial crisis. Not to mention Greeks are master combatants at the time, meaning winning wars are their forte.
