Kaos - TheMythologyGuy discusses

[@derdennis5850]

I really liked this show and probably one of the few times where HADES ISN'T THE VILLAIN.

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Me too

[@starlittered]

I'm glad they knew better! It's like someone took a fresh look and new lens on the myths and saw them much more accurately IMO then historically viewed which is sooo wonderful.

[@filipvadas7602]

1. I do appreciate that in recent years Hades has had his "villain" status removed and instead shifted onto the other gods who deserve it more, Zeus in particular. 2. There is EASILY a joke in there for Heracles to be called Hercules in this show not because its actually his name, but because Zeus is just a terrible dad who gets it mixed up all the time and everyone is too scared to correct him lol

[@andrellnogueira]

Also possibly because it means "glory of hera", but he really doesn't want to be associated with her, so he changed it to Hercules

[@clonetrooper2003]

If only they referenced kaos from skylanders tho. Especially since there is a show about it on netflix 😞

[@SayaCeline]

I agree with Zeus getting the name wrong because Riddy says Heracles later on.

[@Ethereal-23]

or it could be Heracles not wanting to be called Heracles cause of the whole Hera connection to his name

[@constantinehatziandreou6100]

As a greek person, i love that people are still finding new ways to interpret the myths creatively while still showing love to the original story. Even though its not 100% accurate its fresh, unique bur also faithful enough. The only thing that kind of ticked me off was the implication the the original olympians and titans before hand were mortal, its not a bad twist but it brought a few things into question for me, like how do the different realms like the underworld exist or how do they have supernatural powers etc.

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

Yeah that’s something I forgot to talk about. No idea where that’s going

[@TheMaliciousGamer4654]

​​@@TheMythologyGuy1 Possible weird Ouroboros effect? Like say, either A they already existed yet in some weird way had an existing personification of them on Earth that started their Pantheon without knowing who they were maybe & they just matched that god, who maybe later takes over those personifications? Or maybe B it was humans who were seen in a certain manner in the past & seems as beyond humans, which were then worshiped leading them to gain divinity of sorts & which then caused them to have already existed? Probably someone else could come up with something better, but I just now thought of these as possibly why & do find them an interesting thought.

When dionysius says that about Ari it's because she just went in direct opposition to zues and technically by extension the gods, dionysius was on the fence the whole show of weather or not he wanted to be in his father's court. After seeing how nuts Zues goes over this whole thing, it was as if she lit a spark in him because she fulfilled her prophecy and stuck a giant middle finger to what Zues was trying to accomplish. At least that's how I saw it

[@UlmoLOTR]

Riddy's death is also a nice re-interpretation of Eurydice's death. In the myth, she was bitten by a venomous snake... In the show, she was ran over by a van with Serpent Solutions print on the side.

[@dance_ofThaDEAD]

Dionysius has been in love with the idea of love and Humans for awhile. His real dad is a fallafle guy, his freind his Orpheus, and his pet was Dennis. His godhood is new and by the time the show starts the glamour has worn off. When he sees Ari kill her dad, he lover her because secretly thats what he wants to do to Zues.

[@jacobcox4565]

8:05 I like to think that the Cerberus dogs are all part of a Cerberus breed that originated from the original Cerberus. All of those dogs are descendants of the first and original Cerberus and they named the breed after him.

[@juanrubeetge8264]

😂

[@b1ank5pac3]

With Dionysus and Ari I think it was a little set up. Dionysus has an issue with parasocial attachment, as seen with how all Orpheus had to do to gain his favour was be good at singing. So when Dionysus saw Ari not only kill the person who had ruined her life but stick a giant middle finger to Zeus, he most likely confused a high level of admiration with love that will later blossom into actual love.

[@katiehowell2537]

They probably knew they had to have Dionysus and Ari as one of the endgame couples because of the mythology

[@ClippEdGame]

For the Dionysus liking Ariadne suddenly I agree it wasn’t set up for both of them. But I think it was set up for Dionysus, at that point of the series, Dionysus was slowly discovering what love truely is. Then suddenly she sees this woman, who is emotional about her brother, breaking blood ties to his father because of how much she loved her brother. Ngl it’s a bit of stretch but it’s something. A setup for “why” Dionysus would pursue Ariadne

[@SirsasthNigam.]

i think Dionysus being the God of wine, vegetation, fertility, festivity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre, was drunk or high

[@SPYROSTSABOURIS]

10:56 I swear, at this point, he'll just make his own greek mythology show just so he can call Hercules Heracles

Absolutely criminal that this show got canceled.

[@Schattendragonfly]

It was a very short show - only few episodes made the complete story. I do not see any sense in considering the skin colour of the characters. After all it all takes place in modern times, modern world, with technology, jewelery and entertainment at current state. It does not regard the myth 'ages' so skin colour is irrelewant. Dionises was very fun in the show. And Jeff Goldblum - it was hard for me to wrap my mind around this character he played . He's awesome :)

"Ariadne never had a brother" Except for Catreus. And Deucalion. And Androgeus, who's death is the reason why he ordered sacrifices to the minotaur.

[@akosattilafabian8751]

One think i didnt like, was the lack of mythological creatures - the servant were humans, the Minotaur was a guy in a mask. I think it would have been fun to see satyrs and centaurs just hanging out in public. Also maybe Ganumedes could have been added to Olympus.

[@jazmineraymond7495]

That's true but, it's kinda uncomfortable to put how the minotaur happened in a modern setting, so I'm kinda ok with that part.

[@ogurasyn2354]

I mean usually prophecies are vague and mysterious so ig it makes sense?

[@dance_ofThaDEAD]

The wrinkle appears, Zues loses control, The Family go there separate ways, and Kaos reigns

[@Pumpernickel420]

Imo the line is people standing up to the gods, so Riddy, Caeneus and Ari, plus who they'll incite, "the line appears, order wanes", Caeneus bringing people back, Ari and Riddy telling people the truth, maybe Orpheus singing about it, "the family falls" so the gods die/lose their power, "and Kaos reigns," Caeneus is Kaos? So he "rules" by being the giver of life? That's where my idea falls

[@soedragons3582]

I like the foreshadowing with Hades presentation when they put in brackets that he has a guilty conscience

[@jamesbogle]

I really liked this video. Thank you for giving your take on it. There are other details that you pick up, such as the name of the fatal van incident (avoiding spoiler). Watched Kaos, loved it, and wished I could remember more of my elementary school teaching of these myths.

[@px43]

So Hera, at the end is on the phone with someone and says "It's mommy, we're going to war." She's definitely talking to Ares right?

[@fancyduck713]

I don't know if you should do an inaccuracies video cause its not supposed to be accurate, but a video on what's the same and what's different for people that don't know the myths would be really cool. Also would love to here about the little details that people that don't know the myths wouldn't understand or notice

[@Theorist291]

I loved how the cereal Riddy (Eurydice) buys has a little toy bee in it and when she dies Orpheus opens it and throws the cereal everywhere, this is a reference to Aristaeus either a shepherd or the Greek god of beekeeping as he chased Eurydice in the myth mentioned in Virgil’s ‘Georgics’ as Aristaeus (Aristaios in the Greek spelling as Aristaeus is the Latin spelling of the god of beekeeping) chased Eurydice making her not see the snake that killed her. This later affects Aristaeus because all his bees die (as he is being punished for the death of Eurydice) so he has to wrestle the old man of the sea (Proteus) to get answers (which he does). So I thought that was a cool hint to the myths also. Also, I believe Aristaeus mentioned having caused Eurydice’s death and then having to wrestle Proteus because his bees die is not just a shepherd with the same name as the god but rather the god himself (I may be wrong). As many people in Greek Mythology share the same name but they often are completely different other than sharing a name. However, two Aristaeus’ who are beekeepers seem like a coincidence so I like to believe they are the same person both the god of beekeeping.

[@icicloui]

Watching Kaos was fascinating, because, someone over there *really* understood the characters of the Greek Gods, and modernised their idiosyncrasies perfectly -except, for some incomprehensible reason, Hermes is wandering about, perfectly characterised, while people adress him as Dionysus. and babes I understand that it's good for the narrative if the underdog God foil is half human, but you can't just give me a sneaky thief character who has his own plans for power, and who literally -on accident- fulfills his role as a psychopomp, and who is willing to use trickery (like a fake watch) to solve his issues, and have the audacity to call him Dionysus. You even made him an otter, which is very un-Dionysian (the original autumn bear), but it's Hermes af Like, I think, at this point, just pretend Hermes is half human, and be done with it.

Ariadne did have brothers, severals in fact. The main one was Deucalion. After Minos died, Deucalion took the throne of Crete. Phaedra was also Ariadne sister. And the Minotaur was her half brother. They shared the same mother, the goddess Pasiphae, but not the same father, since Minotaur father was the Cretan bull, while Ariadne father was Minos.

17:00 : yes, this Dionysus is absolutely falling in love with a woman who kills her dad. Defying his father is the one thing he can’t bring himself to do and it fills him with shame, so he must be incredibly impressed by Ariadne at this moment. Also Ariadne kills his father because he just murdered his son, and Dionysus is the only Olympian of the show to value human life, so seeing Ariadne avenge her brother, even if it means going against authority and committing patricide, it must be validating for him. Though I admit until that point I also thought he was going to be with Orpheus.

Just finished the season and holy sh*t, this might be one of my favourite shows of all time, I absolutely love this show, it's dark, it's thrilling, its dramatic, has a small bit of comedy and all-round a very cool and interest representation of Greek Mythology in the modern day and just an amazing show and entertaining show all together. The performances by all the actors are phenomenal, and Jeff Goldblums Zeus and Janet McTeers Hera do some of the most abhorrent things I've seen on TV (the baby and... Dennis 😢😢😢, NOOOO DENNIS) The characters are performed amazingly, Stephen Dillanes, as Prometheus, who narrates the show as well as has a large role in it outside of narration, is probably the highlight for me. It is always great to see him on screen. The show both appears as if some stories in Greek myth have already happened and are popular stories, but they also save some Greek myths to be set in modern times, which i find really interesting. the modernisation of Orpheus and Eurydice was really enjoyable, and i loved how they represent these stories that are now happening in present-day Crete This show was amazing to watch and may be one of my favourite shows of all time 9/10 Stephen Dillane is now my fancast for a live action Mimir

[@sqilorsong]

I definitely agree with the Dennis part, Dennis was my favorite character 😔

[@JdeeReadings]

On the note of the Heracles vs Hercules topic, I have been in that argument before trying to explain that it's Heracles. But hey maybe for this series Hercules could have made more scene to use the name more people recognize, like those who watched things like the 90's TV series, the Disney movie or more recently the MCU (as feat in Thor 4 post credit) like it's a more well known brand name. I know it's Heracles a few others I'm sure, still Hercules feels like a brand name people use more than Heracles. My take away from Dionysus seeing Ari stabbing her dad scene was a reflection of how disillusioned he felt with his dad in the series. It's just my read as Ari feels so betrayed by their father and lashing out by stabbing Minos, where as Dionysus at that stage was trying to seek approval and just being reminded he isn't his brother so he sees her emote how he was feeling, and then he just blurted out about how he felt he was in love. Not amazing writing but as someone with daddy issues it's how I mentally translated the scene XDDD Also I'm not Greek in the slightest. My ass is Maori lol so I was watching this show for Cliff Curtis, my mum who was also Maori used to tell me and my bro Greek myth stories when were kids, so it was a full on nostalgia bait that worked and got me watching. Cliff was just hilarious even though I know it's Greek myth based, seeing Poseidon call Minos a kiss ass in a kiwi accent had me cackling. Never would I have thought I'd see what felt like a throw back to my Xena watching days.

Then offered to grant her any desire she wanted, Caeneus asked to be made a man so she wouldn’t have to go through such a traumatic experience again. Poseidon granted her desire and made him invulnerable (I can’t remember why though). Caeneus became a skilled warrior, then one day he crossed paths with a herd of centaurs who mocked him for originally being a woman, Caeneus fought the centaurs who quickly discovered his invulnerability, so to defeat him they buried him alive under several trees.

I think one of my favorite parts of the series was the interpretation of Eurydice and Orpheus. It becomes clear through the series, to me at least, that orpheus did not truly love her as an equal. She was always the muse for him, but she was never an equal. He loved the feelings she made him feel, but never gave her the love of a true partner. His love was possessive, he never asked her if she wanted a song named after her, if she wanted to be on the posters, if she wanted to be with him in the afterlife. He made those decisions out of his love, but never once made a decision with her. It is a really well written one sided relationship and one of my favorite parts. (Edit) and to make it clear, i am not saying it was all on orpheus. Eurydice could have spoken up, yes. But someone in that position can really struggle with the idea of breaking someone who so clearly loves you so much in their way.

Started watching this video...thought "huh that sounds interesting..." went and binged it and then came back :p

[@constantinehatziandreou6100]

Yay I wrote a comment on your last video asking exactly for this 🤘.

[@uapuat]

Such a shame this show has been cancelled. It's the best thing I've seen for years.

[@nesiahgrampersad4859]

Happy my comment reached you, thanks for the review 👍

Ariadne had a brother named Androgeus; he was killed on Theseus's watch, thus the tribute of Athenian youth to feed the Minotaur.

I know this comes down to personal perception, but the Dyionisus of the show is pretty close to what the greeks would invision him as (+ the mordern astethic), he is one of the young gods, the youngest Olimpian, and pretty much in shape. He is comparable to Heracles in a lot of cases as he is the closes of the gods to a hero, he is also associate with Alexander the Great. Greeks do depict him with a beard and looking older in some pottery but never "out of shape". I'm pretty sure that the beer belly image is more reflective of the renaisance than the classical period. So I was happy that we were getting a Dyonisus that is more in line with myth instead of going for the cliché image of "god of wine". I'm courious if in future seasons they are going to play into his connection with the dead, as he brings back Ariadne and his mom, and sometimes even he himself dies and comes back. There's also the fact that in Orphic tradition he is the true heir of Zeus, and I don't know if they are planning to do somithing with that, as he seem to want to join the "let's destroy the gods" plot by the end.

It feels to me that Dionysus is, in some part, the "Kaos" in the prophecy. He is the god of madness, after all.

Right of the bat, this sounds like what The Magicians was to Harry Potter but for Percy Jackson and I HAVE TO SEE IT 15:26 He's into Asterius right? RIGHT????

[@thomasciuffreda8783]

I gave the show 3 episodes, bur I couldn't continue, I found Riddy very unlikable and the plot non-sensical. Very interested to he your take on this show!

[@DarkWanderer149]

Yea, I kinda found myself waiting through the underworld scenes cause nothing really happened for a while. Plus the romance subplot was meh.

[@Cybernautz]

I'm begging Netflix for a season 2!! 🙏

[@electraelpindrai1964]

Throughout the entire show I don't remember ever seeing dionysus drink wine. Not sure what the deal is with that

[@sammcfarlane2494]

I love this modern version of Greek Mythology, it’s kinds like Hazbin Hotel and Hrlluva Boss where both Hell and Heaven are modern.

[@andrellnogueira]

A question: have you ever covered Hades, the videogame? If not, are you interested? It's kind of a long game, and a bit controversial in some circles, so I get if you wouldn't, but it is such a fun take on the myths, I feel you would love it

[@odielarson]

Crazy how i just finished the show right before you dropped this.

[@Rap-d4n]

I hope there is a season 2. It was fun.

[@briantoebben3095]

QUESTION: did anyone make you aware of the mythology anime called "I became a par time employee of the gods" I just started the series recap and it's certainly meant for you to dive into and analyze!!

[@pleasedont3636]

A lot of y’all in the comments don’t know what woke means. Also a lot of Greek mythology characters are gay and not everyone was straight in the mythology. And I’m pretty sure not everyone was white or light skin in Greece some people were darker or tan.

[@danielolivares6313]

I made the mistake of watching the final episode first and then watching from the second episode onwards. I thought it was a stylistic choice since defying fate and dealing with the future is a major theme. Like, they show you what happens first and then show how all the characters ended up there. But no, I'm just an idiot

[@kelpiekit4002]

Any thoughts of turning to the classical age of mythology? And by that I, of course, mean the old Kevin Sorbo Hercules and Lucy Lawless Xena.
