Und wir lieben Easy German! You are the reason we exist, how can we not?

I also love those "cookies" that they talked about in the end and I am from Sweden. I love going to greece and my boyfriend is actually greek so every time I go there to visit him his mother buys me all of the chocolate and always those cookies. Love this channel because it helps me understand a bit more greek and simply listening to it and reading the english can be helpful!

Έρωτας και Ψυχή Ορφέας και Ευρυδίκη

[@Grihlo]

Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ! One of my favorite myths is the one about Bellerofon and Pegasus. I like it because it's a story about an extraordinary man who had his ambitions and who had basically a lot of power but then he lost everything because he was extremely ambitious. Also I like it because it takes place in the region of Antalya in modern-day Turkey and I travel to this area pretty often, even now I'm here :)

Hello from Australia. love your videos and would like to say, slow it down a little bit for the beginner. I have been trying to learn Greek for a while now, but my teachers have been poor (My Dad & Aunty) . If yous could slow down a little i belive i couuld learn from you both .

We have special episodes where we speak slower! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5ukfWqLqL1kd7s

Αν δεν κάνω λάθος, ο Ορφέας γύρισε πίσω και όχι η Ευριδίκη! If I'm not mistaken, it was Orpheus that turned around, not Eurydice!

[@EasyGreekVideos]

That's correct!

[@jaskatpon1]

Wow very interesting topic 👍🏾 I used to enjoy reading various mythological stories from around the world. I find Greek mythology quite similar to Vedic mythology. Vedic mythology is 1 of the oldest form of Indian mythology.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

In what ways would you say they're similar?

[@jaskatpon1]

@@EasyGreekVideos Many ways although the names of the gods are different but the story and description of their characters are a bit similar. For example, Indra is the equivalent of Zeus. Indra is the god of weather and carries a thunderbolt as his weapon. Like Zeus, Indra is known to have bad temper and is a womanizer. Greeks have Trojan war where Paris abducts Helene wife of another King, thus causing a war between kingdoms involving many characters. Indians have Ramayana where Ravana abducts Sita, a wife of Rama, thus causing a war between kingdoms involving many characters too. Yama is the equivalent of Hades, gods of underworld. Actually the list is long. You can check out the similarities on Google. Thanks.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

@@jaskatpon1 Since Sanskrit and Greek come from a common, older people, the Indo-Europeans, we can suppose that our mythologies also have a common starting point with them. Fascinating stuff.

[@stlev99]

Υπέροχο επεισόδιο. Once again you and marilena come up w a great idea

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Thank you!!

[@keyp554]

Really nice episode. Do you have other ones where you talk about the mythology?

No but we'd like to do one!

Γεια σου! Η Θεογονία φυσικά και μετράει - όλα ξεκινάνε από εκεί.

[@TomLaios]

My mum told me the Myth of Phrixus and Elli, riding the flying Ram. Poor Elli fell to her death and the Ellispont is named for her. bI was 3 or 4 years old, it stuck in my head. In Sydney's Hyde Park we have the Archibald Fountain, which is adorned with statues of the Minotavros being killed by Theseas, Apollo, and Artemis. I learnt a lot of myths from that fountain. It is also where my dad pulled out a lot of my baby teeth at.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Very beautiful stories! Amazing that at that park you have a fountain related to Greek mythology ⛲🙏🙏 Marilena

[@agamizera9125]

Among these myths we don't talk about Jason at Polish schools at all! Although much about Prometeus as among Greeks. And beyond Prometeus, we talk about Demeter and uhh...Sizif? the most :) and, of course, how all the Gods were born!

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Really interesting that you learn Greek mythology at Poland ! Marilou, easy Greek

ο μύθος του έρωτα και της ψυχής

Διόνυσος my fav greek God :)

[@EasyGreekVideos]

I like the dichotomy between Apollo and Dionysus. They represent opposite ends of human culture. Maybe we should be more Dionysian and less Apollonian as people...

[@user-vy7hq5zt1q]

Ο αγαπημένος μου μύθος... δύσκολη ερώτηση... νομίζω...α, ναι, ο Νάρκισσος! Γιατί έχει μια ψυχολογική νόημα (αγαπάμε ότι ρίπτουμε* (project) στους άλλους)

Ξαναθυμήθηκα την Μυθολογία από τα παιδικά βιβλία των παιδιών μου κατά τα 'λλα δεν νομίζω να θυμόμουν τίποτα.. Επίσης επισκέπτομαι αρχαιολογικό χώρους κ στα μαγαζάκια τους υπάρχουν ενδιαφέροντα βιβλία που σχετίζονται με την Ελληνική Μυθολογία. :-)

[@fmaximo1979]

I think non-Greeks know more about Greek myths than the Greeks. Oh, and my favourite myths are the life of Heracles (Hercules), the Odissey and the cycle of Troy (especially Aquiles & Patroclus, and Hector), and among the Twelve Gods of Olympus I have a very soft spot for Phoebus Apollo, the Shining One, the Perfect One, the One and Only, simply my God.

[@ChronosHellas]

No they don’t nobody in general other than mythology weebs would be able to answer that question out of nowhere

Ως μηχανικός και απόφοιτος του ΕΜΠ, ο αρχαίος ελληνικός μύθος που μου αρέσει περισσότερο δεν θα μπορούσε να είναι άλλος από αυτόν του Προμηθέα (πυρφόρου).

Εγώ σαν μικρό παιδί ήμουνα ''ερωτευμένος'' με την Μέδουσα. Αργότερα όταν μεγάλωσα της ζωγράφισα και το πορτρέτο όπως την φανταζόμουνα, κατά καιρούς το βλέπω και την θαυμάζω ακόμα...

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Ωραία ιστορία! Το ξέρεις ότι σύμφωνα με τη μυθολογία από τις σταγόνες αίματος της γεννήθηκε ο Πήγασος;; Μαριλενα

@@EasyGreekVideos σίγουρα θα έτυχε να το διαβάσω, αλλά το ξέχασα. Άλλη μία μικρή, αλλά πολύ ρομαντική πληροφορία που ξέχασα. Έτσι μου έρχεται να ασχοληθώ ξανά με το θέμα.

[@atlasrtms845]

all this with Hercules is not a myth he was a man who tried to approach his higher self to approach the good and truth..he made it and his deeds were to fight and tame his animal desires..he was the model of the Greek those times
