You should do the story of Hypnos, god of sleep, who tricked Zeus by putting him to sleep so hera could get back at hercules. Zeus eventually woke up and was infuriated, and chased Hypnos so he could punish him. Hypnos ran to the comfort of his mother, Nyx. Nyx is one of the most powerful gods in Greek mythology to where even Zeus fears her. Nyx is known to be a very sweet and loving deity unlike the Olympians, despite her power. If there's one thing you don't do, it's NEVER mess with Nyx's children. Zeus took one look at Nyx, and let Hypnos off scott free, fearing her wrath if he punished her child

If you die without two coins placed on your eyes (like in an accident away from family and friends and without them knowing you died) your soul is doomed to wait on the shore of the Styx for 100 years until you are somehow given two coins to pay Charon to fairy you over to Hades for judgement.

The first guy, Sisyphus, was punished for disrupting the Natural Balance of the Universe not once, but twice. His punishment wasn't torturous, just exhausting and repetitive. The second, Tantalus, was punished because Zeus couldn't keep it in his pants, or Toga. Not only that, but the Former believed that since he was the Son of the King of Olympus, that the Natural and Ancient Laws that the gods made didn't apply to him. Tantalus' punishment was sort of torturous, but not very brutal. The third guy, Ixion, was punished for his Cruel, Ruthless and Sadistic Nature, as well as his lechery towards Zeus' Wife, Hera.

Tantulas, fed the gods his OWN SON

[@ryonhatcher4561]

@@higherechelon7884 I know, only because he thinks that just because Zeus was his Father, meant that the Ancient Law of the Gods doesn't apply to him. He boasted that he fed his Divine Family his own Son, as if it was something to be proud of.

Ixion: i had a blast with Zeus wife *lightening striking him down Ixion’s last breath: see !, told you!

[@GoodFebruarian]

Ixion: " 💀Smashed, still win tho lol "

[@helloiwanttootakeoverthewo3217]

The gods can be so evil but can be so nice at the same time Demeter feeling bad for eating tantalus’s son’s shoulder then Zeus guys tells Hephaestus to make a new one so wholesome.

[@Alex-qj8si]

I watches all separate Vids and this again because I love the stories

[@shockman2178]

Tantalus and Ixion had it coming. The first guy on the other hand.... that depends on your point of view.

[@kshwjsna_ma]

And no. Tartarus is the pit. Those three ppl was sent to the fields of punishment. (Speaken from a huge PjO nerd)

[@Lou-Lou-]

For Tantalus, I thought his punishment was that the water was salt water and the fruit was poison/bitter. Regardless he deserved it.

[@Thebes77777]

Up the high hill he heaves the huge round stone, the huge round stone resulting with a bound, thunders impetuous down, up the hill again his toil renewed, dust mounts in clouds, and sweat descends in dews. This vivid poetic verse belongs to one of the great English poets of the late nineteenth century, once again another great video representing those very famous men of ancient Greece who became infamous through their misdeeds.

you should do one for the man who tried to clearcut demeter's sacred grove

[@gaunterodimmmastermirrors72]

You know, I would've thought Thanatos would be the whole"loom and gloom" kind of god since he was death. But he seems like a pretty decent guy...once you flatter him.

[@Thebes77777]

Above, beneath and around his hapless head, trees of all kind, delicious fruitage spread, the fruit he tries to seize but blasts arise, toss it on high, and wirl it to the skies. Another beautiful poetic verse composed by one of the great English poets of the late nineteenth century. The simple yet very relevant ancient Greek saying, which even rhymes in english, 'MORE WEALTH, LESS HEALTH', obviously was not paid attention to by many a wealth mongering King in ancient Greece.great video.

[@mightytoothpick]

You forgot to mention that the shackles and chains sysiphus used to emprison thanatos were made by Hephaestus, god of the forge and fire, and they were indestructible even with a power of a god

[@TGMozart12]

Zeus really got mad that he got caught kidnapping. The gods were so entitled.

[@SulliMike23]

I wonder what happened to the cook who cooked Pelops.

[@andrewler13theundeadwarrior]

12:47 I feel bad for Ixion for what he did, bad habits take over but biggest of all if he didnt bring his character he'd be just sitting around upset, he could've asked zues for paper and something like a pencil, to draw, with a slab to draw better, but he got what he deserved. Punishment.

[@aubreyyoung6664]

These are really good stories

RE: Sisyphus The first volume of Neil Gaiman's Sandman suddenly makes so much more sense in context. It's a reimagining of Sisyphus, but where Morpheus (Dream) is captured instead of Thanatos (Death). Very cool

[@mateobanda6808]

Wow. Lucky me to have found this Channel.

[@patriciafrancis1514]

2023: Sisyphus still rolling that boulder

[@Gilmoregirly4life]

Me so confused because the video said that they went to tarturus when in other myths they went to the underworld in the fields of punishment. Hades does not have control over Tarturus.

[@memesofwarhemmer7076]

Underworld is separated in Tartarus a dead body of a primordial and campos elizius( heaven in Greek mythology) he only control the entrance of that realm Because his wife control Campos elizius and Tartarus has no true master only torment

[@OuterRimPride]

Sisyphus, though, he was just tryna survive and get fresh water for his city. Dunno if he deserved Tartarus like the other two.

[@vasilisblanas4575]

Could the story of the three brothers from Harry potter be loosely based on these myths? Tantalus died from the desire of power, dining with the mighty gods and bragging about it.even his punishment is linked with the desire. So he is the first brother. Ixion's downfall started when he fell in love with a woman(Hera) whom he couldn't be with. Like the second brother who misses his late fiancee. Both of them sleep with a shadow of the woman they loved. Finally, i like to think Sisyphus as the youngest brother,the smarter of the third who cheats death until he grows very old. Then he does welcome death, knowing he can't avoid the inevitable. I know this is far from a perfect match,the moral of the two stories is completely different but watching the video it just hit me!

[@aadyantsahu3629]

I agree.
