As a Greek myself and a fellow mythology geek I have to say great job!!! May I add number #10 The Cyclops (Polyphemus)

[@alexsifounas3005]

@Ghost Ghost Maybe you mean the opposite. Even the name mesopotamia is given by the greeks. Mesopotamia as athers ''states'' were lucky enough to be near achient greece and they draw their glory from the achient greece. (maybe i look like i underestimate mesopotamia, i want to clear up that i found very intresting the history of mesopotamia and i try to learn many thinks about it )

Medusa is the MOST tragic figure in Greek Mythology, she wouldn’t even be on this list if Athena and Poseidon weren’t such A-Holes Smh 🤦‍♂️

[@fawfulmark2]

Only in the Ovid myth was Athena cruel to her, same with the Arachne story(also done by Ovid). And honestly speaking Ovid wrote Greek characters much like how Garth Ennis writes superhero comics.

[@moisesremusmajan6225]

There are three different story of medusa

[@Pridam]

Early depiction of Medusa had her always be a monster from the start. The thing about her being a human that was involved with Athena and Poseidon was a later rendition

Gorgons didn’t have snake tails, that was 1981’s Clash of the Titans version that was so popular now everyone thinks that’s how the creatures always were. In an 95’s cartoon of Hercules I saw shows Cerberus with a scorpion’s tail and dozens of snakes on his back.

[@danjackson193]

I thought medusa was a beautiful woman who was cursed and became medusa. Not born like it

[@Pridam]

Early depictions of Medusa had her be a monster from the very beginning

[@Raximus3000]

That is a roman retcon.

[@101Mant]

. Like a lot of mythology more than one version. Interestingly the Greek depictions of her change over time becoming less monstrous and more human so it seems the mythology was changing before the Romans got hold of it.

[@NohrScum]

Since Medusa was the only Gorgon able to be slain (to my knowledge), would that make her the weakest ?

[@Maison05]

Wasn't she the only one able to turn others to stone though making here deadlier

[@damianfry2080]

Its weird, there's stories where medusa was a Gorgon, with sisters, other stories where a woman was turned into medusa because of her beauty and probably a relationship with Zeus ...

[@NohrScum]

I guess there isnt really a clear answer. Though I find it peculiar that medusa is the only one that could die, yet her head still possesses some of her power/curse. It almost would have made more sense the other way around.

[@douglasphillips5870]

It depends on the story. Sometimes the agis is said to be made from another slain gorgon

[@leonalushi3429]

If we don't go by Ovid's tradition having Medusa as a beautiful maid transformed into a hideous gorgon, other traditions have Medusa and her two other sisters - Stheno and Euryale - as gorgons from birth. Medusa was mortal, whereas Stheno and Euryale were immortal. So the other two sisters were far more powerful than Medusa.

[@garycarpenter2980]

My favorite creature is Pegasus, I wouldn't mind having one, they're beautiful animals

[@renatobanushaj5994]

A really interesting topic to treat is the "Summer Day" on 14 march (1 March of the Julian calendar) which is a spring festival and pagan holiday celebrated widely in Albania. Is celebrated with little differences by city to city and basically is a tribute to Artemis/Diana.

[@Rnrkeje]

Turtle approves of this video

[@Maison05]

Wasn't the guy who killed the Chimera (I cant spell his name) a son of Poseidon and that is why he was able to ride the pegasus and he died by attempting to fly to Olympus because he thought he should be a God.

[@timsmith1323]

Yep he was according to mythology but it was because of Athena’s bridle that he could capture Pegasus not because he was Poseidon’s son

[@brotquel1592]

Important thing: Cerberus is a term that may come from a proto-european roots, it doesent mean "flesh eater" or anything that drastic... it means "spotted". Basically, Hades named his pup "Spot" and it's adorable. Also, the third gorgon sister's name is "Stheno".

1:16 There have been reports of humanoids flying around in Mexico. A policeman was dispatched to the scene, and his squad car was attacked by the creature. What he described looks just like Siren. He said the creature had bird legs, but her upper body was of a woman. Not beautiful like that painting, but the creature's upper body was of a very old hag who resembled a witch in fairy tale stories. The flying humanoid was filmed multiple times, and its video is on KZbin somewhere, so is the policeman's interview.

What i always found interesting is,Greece and Rome share a lot of the mythical and folklore stuff,there's similarities in names too and military wise,this is of course because Rome conquered ancient Greece and borrowed a lot of their culture and twisted it to make it Roman but both of them actually borrow heavy from the Egyptian culture,Greece did the same with the Egyptian culture like Romans did with the Greece,borrow stuff and twist it a little.For example when you see a centaur in movies and stuff,you dont know if it's egyptian,greek or roman,greeks and romans obviously both had centaurs but egyptians had the Ipotane,the equivalent of a centaur.Same goes for a lot of the gods,Heracles being Greek,Hercules Roman and Heryshaf in Egypt,Amphitrite-Greek,Salacia-Roman,Hatmehit-Egyptian,Aphrodite-Greek,Venus-Roman,Hathor, Isis-Egyptian
