Lets be real, Zeus not knowing the correct pronunciation of one of his kids' names would be 100% in character 😅

[@Dice_roller]

It's not, though. Zeus is many things, but definitely not stupid. He's said to be smarter than all of the other deities and humanity as well by Hesiodos.

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

@@Dice_roller Intelligence doesn't mean you can remember the name of hundreds of spawnlings. You can be smart and still be bad with names, especially if you're dealing with hundreds of different people. I speak as someone with an IQ of 139, that took 6 months to learn the name of the guy who sat next to me in a club that only had 5 other members and still doesn't know the names of half the names of the people in the club I manage now even though it's only 12 people. Also, considering Zeus's track record for doing spectacularly dumb things on a regular basis, I question Hesiodos' sincerity on the subject. I'd be inclined to give the title of smartest god in the Greek pantheon to a more rational diety like Athena or Prometheus. And again, even if he really is the smartest, it's not like he's the god of memory, so expecting to remember the names of his hundreds of kids is asking a bit much of him I think.

[@Larper64]

When I first watched season 1 years ago, I honestly thought Hades might not be a villain instead offering a bogus task to taunt the doomed Seraphim, but from what I've heard about Season 2 apparently I gave the writers too much credit.

[@user-tw3rh9po4t]

I’ve mentioned it once before, but if they somehow wanted to make the usage of Hercules somehow accurate to mythology, they would’ve made it so that Hercules kept it because of his trauma from Hera and refusing to be named “Glory of Hera”, since that didn’t exactly save him from her wrath. Then again, he didn’t decide on the name of Heracles in the first place. It would be inaccurate in name, but much more accurate than Hades being a main villain. Hades is far from a nice guy, but there are better candidates for main villains from Greek Mythology.

[@phantomarceus6387]

@@Larper64 That's a pretty unfair take, Hades is not a villain in season 2 he's an antagonist. And if we are being completely honest he gets more screen time than Heron, and that kind of makes him more of a protagonist than anything else.

[@rebal180]

My best guess for why the Roman name for Heracles is more commonly used is because Hollywood made it the more popular version with the earlier movies and then Disney established it in everyone's mind as his one true name. The only time I had even heard of the name Heracles in media was in the movie the Spirit. For whatever reason most people connect more with his Roman name. It might have something to do with the rise of Roman Catholicism over the centuries. Which could also explain why they blend Christian mythology in with Greek lore.

[@cartooncritique6625]

People do the same thing with Cupid too. In Greek myth, he's called Eros, but everybody just calls him by his Roman name.

[@rebal180]

@@cartooncritique6625 That makes me wonder if it really is Catholics doing that to appease the Western viewers. Because a lot the times even Hades is likened to the Devil and the Underworld to Hell. Despite the fact that in Greek myth everyone goes to the underworld. How you are treated in the Underworld depends on how you lived on Earth and if you feel guilty for the sins you committed.

[@cartooncritique6625]

@@rebal180 It's funny and ironic since it seems like Christianity borrows quite a bit from Greek myth, especially when it comes to the afterlife.

Or Helios never give up... why people think Helios stopped being the sun god when he never stopped? Unless Apollo was the sun god in this show but i dont think that was never stated. Not only that, but there is no story with Apollo riding the sun chariot while doing other stuff. During the day he is always on Earth doing stuff, for example in the Iliad he was a active participant of the trojan war, while Helios pulled the chariot. The same goes for the Odyssey and this is in the very end of greek mythology. So Apollo never took the sun chariot since Helios is the sun god during the last stories of greek myth.

I do think its important to point out that it makes sense for some characters to have similar names to other greek mythological characters, realistically you can't expect a single person to have their own name exist in a vacuum because people historically and presently share similar or the same names. Also I do think it makes sense to have some abrahamic influence on the show, mainly because Abrahamic religions were heavily influenced by Hellenistic religions and borrowed allegories and concepts from Classical Hellenistic philosophy. And the Greeks did a similar thing by linking older deities with newer ones, like making Pan the son of Hermes even though Hermes was likely an offshoot of Pan who eventually became his own deity. So I kind of like seeing it a lot.

To be hones the Hades appearance at the end was much more tease of a second season than out right establishing him as a villain especially after knowing how he's portray in season 2

A clever reference I’ve noticed Talos metal creaking is the same used in the movie Jason and the argonauts 1963 that’s cool

[@CommentingCommenter]

With all the references to other mythologies and such in seasons 1 and 2, I hope we get a storyline in a later season where we see the Greek pantheon deal with the gods of other pantheons. It would be an interesting aftermath to the upcoming Typhon story as some versions of that state the gods that fled from him hid out in Egypt and inspired some gods there.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Now this is a fun run! As for mixing and matching mythologies, just suppose it’s a crossover disguising itself as Zeus’ story. As for Apollo and Hermes being soft on Ares, Ares suffered the “Worf Effect” in myths considering that same Ares was humiliated by Hephaestus and beaten by Diomedes.

[@dbzonic1]

@TheMythologyGuy1 the creator you was confused between being a maticor or a chymera was more then likely a griffin, which I did look it up , it is a greek creature, they appear in early Grecian art, griffins were depicted pulling the chariots of Apollo and Nemesis. They were also considered to be the "hounds" of Zeus, so that's probably what it was supposed to be, hope it helps

I fear better help isnt a good sponsor they are rather infamous in there malpractice and shady stuff they do :(

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

Really? I had only heard good things about them. I have a couple friends who use it and tell me it’s great so I was honestly really happy to get BetterHelp for this. If I’m wrong I apologize. This is just the first I’m hearing of it

[@TheRozenKnight]

@@TheMythologyGuy1 There are a few things but there would be collecting and sharing of data to third party advertisers without consent. They dont screen there Therapist properly so you can find people there that dont qualify to be Therapist. From what i know they also treat the Theraphist they do have rather poorly and with super high demand. Also they have the bad habbit to trying to intimidate Critics with cease and desist mails and similar steps. The youtuber and licencse therapist Mickey Atkins also has some experience with it. --- Also im glad it helped your friends :) If you have the time you can look into the Betterhelp thing.

​@@TheMythologyGuy1 My first answer got eaten my by bad internet connection so if i doubled post sorry in advance. But yeah they basicly did collect data and sell those to advertisers. They dont check there therapist properly so there are plenty that dont qualify. Those that work there often get treated poorly. They even make hard to cancel the service. Also they try to silence critics with cease and desist mail and other intimidation tactics and of course try to get a lot of influencers for good PR to cover it. There KZbinr and licencse Therapist Mickey Atkins also has some video about that. --- But im glad that your friends got proper help :) When you have time you can look into betterhelp yourself and decide then for the future if you want to take them again.

In all fairness to Apollo's chariot being pulled by only 2 horses, that was probably more of a production thing. I can only imagine how big of a headache that sh!t would have been to animate.

[@jrr2480]

It's fun to see Hades say Zod's catchphrase. 😂

[@KTChamberlain]

Atalanta was a Greek hero who was nursed by a bear as a baby, and Arcas was almost a close second (or first, not sure if the myth of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor was before or after but still), because his mother Callisto was turned into a bear shortly after giving birth to Arcas, either by Hera as punishment for bearing (no pun intended) another bastard son of Zeus, or Artemis as punishment for breaking her oath in staying a virgin to be in her retinue, and the reason that wasn't the case for Arcas was because in most versions Zeus hid Arcas away and placed him in the care of Callisto's father, Lycaon, the king of Arcadia, so as far as I can tell he never got nursed by a bear the way Atalanta did. Sounds like yet another thread woven into this show.

[@templin7]

12:00 I think it is actually meant to be a reference to what you mentioned a minute early about how we have conflicting accounts about the mood of Periander was cruel or kind. But I didn't read behind the scenes explanations so I could be wrong.

[@TheMythologyGuy1]

That’s actually a cool way of looking at it

[@amelianyoom9545]

Idk if you read stuff on like spacebattles or whatever but I recently came across something called Dionysia or The Orphic Ramayana, it’s a reading of the Ramayana through the lens of Euripides. I definitely think it’s something you’d find interesting.

[@323starlight]

"Why are you calling him Hercules? Don't you know your own son's name?" He probably knows him by both but often gets it mixed up.

[@Duality2222-2]

You will be happy to know that one entertainment media actually calls Heracles by his name Heracles as well as taking inspiration for a battle against a hydra by burning its stumps once it's been cut off. The shows called Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation. The two I've listed is about the only connection the show has to Greek Mythology

[@claytucker5025]

Love your videos but your sponsor is, or was, in hot water. Apparently they had regular people- unlicensed people practicing on customers when they had NO Training and NO BACKGROUND in therapy. Some of the reports claim that the "therapist" had other people in the room listening to the session, eating while in session (a whole meal), leaving mid session only to come back at the end of session and end the call, etc. It's along the same lines as the "become a laird" by buying this square foot of land-sponsorship. Anyways, all the best.
