I Ranked Which GREEK GODS Would Smell the Best - Mythology Tier List

[@zockingtroller7788]

Also jake said that sacrifices would make gods smell nice Hades would probably get sacrifices from everyone who is in their right mind, seeing how he is the one god you're guaranteed to end up with. I would definitely want Hades' favor.

I actually think Hades would smell quite pleasant and that's because ancient Greeks used an assortment of good smelling stuff in their funeral rites (rosemary, myrtle and mint) and there is even a myth about Hades having the personification of the plant mint, Minthe as a mistress. So that's why I think Hades would have a smell associated with these herbs

You are correct i think!

[@visionofsolace8961]

Yes, she stole and gave them away to Europa.She was eventually pardoned, but it took awhile, the ritual that cleansed her of her sins and curses was performed in the Acheron river, in the underworld.

In my opinion for the female goddesses: Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia or (Not Goth) Persephone

I would expect Erebus to smell the best out of the Gods that aren't present here. He would just smell like a cold autumn night. Although a lot of 1st gen Gods probably smell great. Sky daddy for example. Or Eros. Or even primordial Chaos, smelling like everything and nothing at the same time.

[@lolcerditorock]

Chaos would smell like...nothing. Chaos would be the purest smell of being somewhere for so long that scent is no longer registering in your brain. Eros would be sweat, packed of hormones

[@the11382]

Would Vanir smell better than Aesir? Not being racist, the Vanir spent a lot of time in Vanaheim(which is a wild place), but the Aesir fight a lot. Thor would probably smell like mead. Hel would smell like dead people pretty much.

[@will3971]

@@the11382 You can't argue with the fact that Hel's face is literally halfway rotten. Freya would probably smell the best, together with perhaps Sif. Then you get a guy like Odin, who probably just smells normal, and then comes Thor (there shouldn't even be a discussion about how Thor smells). And then you get Loki, in S tier, because he would be the kind of motherf*cker to have cologne on himself at all times.

I've watched others of your videos, Jake, and really enjoy them. I just ran across this one, and it's delightfully silly! Thanks! (I'd disagree about Hades smelling like dead people, though. He doesn't deal with decaying bodies, he deals with shades, which I don't think have a smell. However, he might have an earthy smell himself.

[@allonzehe9135]

If all the tier lists are this high-quality, then I'm in favour of you doing more. However, variety is essential. Obviously we love the fully animated vids and never want those to stop, but if you're going to do some easier videos like this one (I presume this is less work than full animation) to please the one true god - the KZbin Algorithm - then I would highly recommend having more easy vids than just tier lists. Maybe book reviews, maybe meme reviews, those BTS vids on your research process are good, maybe review mythology related movies or episodes of shows like Xena. Tier list are fun, just make sure to keep the variety, because you are extremely creative and it's easy to neglect the high-effort stuff you love when you can technically make an easy video instead that's still pretty good.

I think Hades would smell good, actually. He looks like the kind of guy who would smell like strong cologne or something, despite having a lot to do with the dead (which by the way, are just souls, not dead bodies). Maybe because I see him as some kind of businessman, and usually businessman look like they smell good... I don't know.
