Fascinating! I can't get enough content about Greek mythology!⚡

[@michaellarose4913]

I was familiar with greek mythology, and its monsters but there were some i wasn't aware that were related to typhon and echidna like the legendary Caucas eagle or the crommyonian sow.

[@sturg0353]

I just found your channel, and I’m binge watching all of these monster videos. Keep it up! 👍

[@darksilvania122]

Fun Fact: Whle the Crommyonian Sow birthed the Calydonian Boar, some also believe the Calydonian Boar fathered the Erymanthian Boar, who was also slain by Hercules

[@skyden24195]

It's all fun and games to be a Greek Monster until Hercules shows up. Better to be bested by Orpheus, at least then, if you're a Greek Monster, meeting Orpheus will only result in a long needed nap. 😴

I learned the Egyptian Sphinx is known as an androsphinx when I was doing some research for my own mythos. Chimera, the Sphinx, the Manticore, and the Androsphinx serve as the first-created chimeras (named for Chimera herself by the one who mercy-killed her, Genbu, the High King of the North).

[@robertbreschard3493]

There is no proof that the manticore or androsphinx are the children of typhon and echinacea

[@robertwenzilk3608]

Great video ! I love the battle between Hercules and Hydra ! Make a video about olympian gods vs. titans !!!

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

Fun fact: the chimera was the inspiration for Ogre in the Tekken series (originally called true Ogre in tekken 3 & tekken tag 1)

[@Tarathathe77wookiee]

FLUFFY!! LOL. I liked the way the Disney Hercules movie played with the Nemean Lion story; by turning Scar into its pelt.

[@Pridam]

Fun fact: Both the Lernaean Hydra and the Chimera were usually depicted as being female. Ladon being killed by Heracles wasn't in the original mythos, as he was too powerful and dangerous for Heracles to take on. That is why he got Atlas to take the golden apples for him, Ladon's retainers were daughters of Atlas, and even though they were aligned with the gods, Ladon still extended some attachment to Atlas enough that he let the titan take some of the apples

[@beastmaster0934]

The latter being female is weird, since she has a male lion’s head Then again, some lionesses can grow manes if they have enough testosterone in ‘em. So perhaps that was the case with Chimera. It would also explain her high aggression.

[@goomba8170]

@@beastmaster0934 In case you didn’t notice, the chimera is an amalgam of various types of creatures. Her being female is perhaps the least odd thing about her, or at least in line with how strange she already is.

Monsters in Greek mythology exist Hercules : Is it for me to kill

[@ameradioactive8401]

What if Cerberus is our mouth!? =) 1- Hades reigns on the depths of the realm of our body "our belly", Hades can symbolize our appetite, our eating instinct. 2- The entrance to Hades' realm is guarded by Cerberus, a three-headed monster with a snake tail that only lets the dead in and never lets anyone back out. 3- The entrance to our belly starts with the mouth ! =) Cerberus is our mouth with three heads (lips, teeth and tongue) it devours the dead (dead food in the sense that it is inanimate and doesn't move), the snake tail represents our throat that swallows food. The swallowed food no longer comes out of our insides, just as the dead no longer come out of hell. 4- Cerberus is also found in Dante's Divine Comedy, where he is the guardian of the third circle of hell. and guess what! =) It's the circle of the sin of gluttony! =) So, in Dante too, Cerberus is associated with the food! =) 5- Cerberus also appears in one of the 12 labours of Hercules. Hercules, who symbolizes the will, have to curb the animal desire to eat all and a lot =)

[@dragonzilla6482]

The Greeks had a lot of Monsters in their legends.

[@itarry4]

It's fairly understandable why ancient cultures would find dinosaur remains and other fossils and need a way to explain what they find and put a shape to their unknown fears. It's much easier to stop being afraid of something you understand and have a meaning, explanation for and knowledge about the way they behave and act. Have you seen the skull of a Mammoth? If so you'll see exactly where they get the cyclops idea from.

[@alchemist9883]

[@susandolan9543]

Hercules had help in defeating the Hydra. His nephew had gone with him. Whenever Hercules severed a head, the nephew would leap in with a torch and cauterizing each wound. Then Hercules severed the immortal head and buried it thus killing the Hydra.

[@Amphitera]

if you look up depictions of multi-headed "serpents" and dragons like the hydra on original greek vases, it's pretty clear people saw a giant squid/kalmar and misinterpreted the arms as heads.

[@ChromePwny]

That pic at 4:00 is awesome!

[@helenpayne9159]

Fun fact: Cerberus was a mastiff. And the Nemean lion was actually a female despite of having a mane and Ladon was female

[@beastmaster0934]

And the Chimera was too, despite its lion’s head also having a mane.

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

I'm surprised Hercules wasn't punished by Zeus for interfering by slaying the eagle

[@RedCommunistDragon]

If he wasn’t related to Zeus he would have definitely been punished.

I wonder if the coat of the Nemean lion was brass or bronze? Since gold was too malleable to be useful as an armor, it would make sense.

[@25Erix]

Ask yourself how old brass is and that might give you the answer. According to some quick digging, brass was first used in the early Roman Empire. So depending on how old the Twelve Labors are as a story, it's possible for the story to predate brass entirely. Gold is a symbol of wealth so it was likely for aesthetic purposes in regards to the Lion, rather than any use in armor. Its coat being near-impervious could easily be chalked up to the fact it was, at the end of the day, a monster born of primordial giants.

really enjoyed this video! the storytelling is captivating and the visuals are stunning. but honestly, i feel like Typhon gets way too much credit in these stories. i mean, Echidna’s role is often overlooked, and she's just as fascinating, if not more. what do you all think?

[@HeartlessRandomguy]

Hades: (Disney version) if I hear one more word about that annoying Jerk-ules, I'm gonna snap! (Herc kills another monster, while Sora gets up on the Hydra's back) Hades: Oh great! Kid Keyblader too! That's it! No more Mr. Nice Guy! Everybody else; When were you ever Mr. Nice Guy?

Hercules had rough and tough 12 times to kill, wreaked hellish kids of Hell, even this monsters was the worst. Hercules' stepmother is 100% more worse, what she did on Hercules family.
