In the versions I've heard/read, Zeus had made some boast about how omniscient the gods all were so Tantalus decided let's see if you can guess what's for dinner.
Also, Demeter: "This tastes like people."
Everyone else: "How do you know what people taste like?"
Also also, Torment of Tantalus was a great SG-1 episode. Just sayin'.
My own personal Too-Easily-Distracted conspiracy theory is that Dael lies to us. She is not Australian. She is secretly a goddess who got bored, snuck down to the mortal realm and now takes great delight in sharing old gossip about her heavenly relations. Also, trying mortal things like cakes, and wearing really big hats.
This story reminds me of something that happened last year in the D&D game I'm in. We had just come upon a town that had been razed by goblins. We find one survivor, an acquaintance of ours, who is pretty badly shaken up. We get him healed up and back on his feet (albeit still in a state of shock), and a stranger happens by. We explain what happened, and add that we're going to see if we can find any other survivors and/or salvage what we can from the wreckage; he's all, "Cool. Hey, there's an inn down the road. I'll take this guy there and get him taken care of; you guys feel free to stop by when you're done here." The two of them leave, we continue our search, we find nothing. We get to the inn, where the stranger informs us that our friend is upstairs, resting from his ordeal. The innkeeper offers us some food, which we happily accept. Shortly after the meal, we realize that the innkeeper, his assistant, and the stranger are all jackalweres; we fight and kill them, then run upstairs to check on our friend. None of the rooms are occupied, nor do any of the beds appear to have been in use recently. We find some of our friend's remains (along with those of several other people--including, we think, the inn's actual owner and his staff) out back, and suddenly realize just what was in that stew they'd given us....
My theory: Tantalus was so rich and had everything he could possibly want, he only felt alive when he was risking himself and walking the line. He just kept having to raise and raise the stakes!
The imitation of Demeter is the best! lol
Dael, the word you were looking for is "nepotistic". Great video though. I love the way you emote.
Yep, I laughed out loud at the 8 degrees. When just this morning I was excited that Chicago has gotten back to only -2. Shorts weather.
I liked for the bed socks and pants. But the story was good too. Hurrah for not knowing the day but knowing it was a casual day!
"cue laughter from the Canadians" as a Canadian I was already laughing at bed socks lol
Not only beautiful and creative genius, now also nerdy awesomeness of pants!!!
I never knew that was the origin of the word 'tantalising'. Entertaining and educational - thank you.
Double summers sounds fantastic!
Don't cross me man, I know you just got back from California! Quit mocking me with those Summer vibes!
I'm still stuck being exposed to Sydney winter, I miss the warmth! I miss it so much :'(
Let's start casual Thursday! That needs to be a thing.
Canadian here, and I won't laugh. I'll just point out that it's 22 degrees here today. Another great video Dael. I look forward to thee days. Thanks.
So when they went down to Tantalus's place, was it kind of like a sympathy vote? Like were the rest of the gods, "Really?... I mean he is Zeus's son but really? Do we have to? Alright fine."
Cold days in front of a fireplace with hot Ovaltine is always my favorite time on a cold day. Also being a Goonies fan at your age is pretty cool, that's from my childhood. :)
8ºC is cold, let nobody say otherwise! Also, i suggest you call the Coolum Beach night officer about your internet situation. /referencedrop
Man, i had no idea Tantalus was such a jerk. Though i guess having Zeus as a father never helps.
8 degrees = Cold for Dael
8 degrees = About every normal day for me.
I think in at least one version the whole human cooking thing was explained by Demeter's mourning, since she wasn't letting plants or anything grow all the crops and livestock were dying... but at that point it's just like hey, maybe now just isn't a time for feasting of any kind?
i've recently gotten interested in greek mythology and these videos have been so educational! i really enjoy them! :D
I'm still waiting for 'little Dael' to have a bigger part in one of your vlogs, other than background extra.
Tantalus was a fool. He had it all and lost it.
"Cue laughter from the Canadians when they find out it's like 8 degrees Celsius."
Accurate. I am Canadian, and I did laugh. Though I can also sympathize - it is Spring and thus generally in the double digits outside, but when my thermostat died (apparently being wired into the house doesn't alleviate the need for battery power because my thermostat was designed by a moron) and I didn't notice for a while, it was bloody cold in here. So yeah, 8 degrees can be cold if it's not expected.
"Bed Socks! Bed Socks! Bed Socks! 2000!"
"Hey that was my idea!"
Here in Mexico it's Friday and it's Spring
Let's see,8 celsius is about 46 Fahrenheit,I would consider that chilly.
Same. Admittedly, I'm from a region that's in the sub-tropics so my opinion might be ever so slightly biased :P
46 F? Time to swap out the t-shirts with long sleeves.
+
46 freedom units you say? that's a spring day
Great story as always Dael! You just keep getting more badass all the time. Congrats on your Gooniedom. Sorry to hear about your having to endure winter this year. :(
I'm sorry, but once you've given me a "BaDaBoomBa" I cannot return it. It is forever mine. Also, I rewatched you Poseidon chariot explanation like 20 times. Hilarious!
I keep emailing these to my abuela (grandma) but she doesn't know how to open them lol anyways awesome video thanks human!
one of my favorite stories
Hello Dael, Right now in Kitchener Ontario, it is 21 degrees Celsius. It will hit a low of 11 tonight. And yes 8C is very mild for a winter up here. But enjoy your casual friday (thursday) ...etc. Although you just reminded me of TotalBiscuit, and I am just glad you are feeling well.
I'm in Waterloo! And 8 would be very mild for us. A few years ago my water bottle froze on a short walk across UW campus
your pyjama pants are awesome!
and i wish it was even remotely chilly here, it's like 35°c here :(
Wow, I had no idea Tantalus was quite that messed up.
As for your climate woes, 8 degrees isn't even winter cold for my part of the world, but it is just cool enough to make a great excuse to drink an excessive amount of hot chocolate. Give it a try!
I am Canadian and 8c is middle of Summer :)
I did indeed laugh at the 8 degrees Celsius...
Love your stories Dael Kingsmill
I was going to use my britishness to shout at you for complaining at the cold but tbh I hate it too. As soon as it drops below like 15 i'm just constantly in hoodies.
Cool! Casual Friday!
So Tantalus basically tried his best to be worse than the gods. He probably didn't manage it, but he certainly did his best.
I was actually wondering how cold Australian winter is, and it turns out that it is like an average spring day here in Sweden. At least our summer is warmer than your winter.
You could say that Demeter was given the...
...cold shoulder. 💁🏻
Okay, I'll stop.
Presumably the soup was hot, so hot shoulder
Loved that story :D Awesome job
Splendid as always
Thanks for the extra view of pajama pants! Awesome! Make mine Marvel!! Keep up the good work!
I should spend the summer in Australia, I could do with double winters...
yeah I know a few Canadians who 8 Celsius for breakfast - but to the rest of us that is a bit chilly. Also, super awesome that you are an official Goonie!
congratulations new goonie YEAYYYY!!!!!
Great video once again!
*is Canadian* *laughs at your adorkableness*
lol You look like you're about to drink a hot cup of tea and sit by the fire. extra cosy ;)
was thinking you should do a smite god's series 😁
I need to watch this again, I was distracted by Batfrog. NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA! BATFROG! BATFROG! BATFROG!
another great video
Can you prettiest of pleases do the story of syrinx
8 degrees is sweater weather. So not cold. Just coolish.
"BOOTFUGIVNESSNOSE"- Dael, 2016.
I live in Arizona, Phoenix specifically. 8C sounds utterly unbearably cold. I'd be all a-swaddled in like two jackets and a long-sleeve shirt.
So basically, ancient people used to sacrifice their young boys to Demeter (or her older form Cybele), the matriarchal nature goddess for good harvest; and then patriarchal Olympian religion came and was not cool with it?
I'm Canadian, and I am laughing.
If you wanna be a real goonie you've got to come to Oregon and explore our beautiful wilderness.
It's going to be 9C tonight in Ontario (Canada) and that's summer.
Hahahaha! -Love, the Canadians
999. almost 1000. Goodluck,
You want double summers, I want double winters, let's trade
dude. It's like 3 degrees Celsius where I am, though it feels like about 1. And I'm in New Zealand
I love the cold, mild as it might be to northerners. Also, if nepotismistic wasn't a word, it is one now.
Goonies never say die!
a got a couple rants here.
1. what happened 2 drawings
2. it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit in California and I'm over here like why is she complaining about being cold
3. what happened to the drawings
4. will Dael even read this?
5. what happened to the drawings
6. nice Soylent Green reference
7. SUPER IMPORTANT : my grandma died a month ago so every time you say send an email to your grandma I get a little broken hearted :(
8. what happened to the drawings they were my
favorite part of your Channel :) besides your adorable cuteness of course. (wow that was creepy)
9.turn up ur audio. its a bit hard to hear you.
and finally! 10... there is no number 10
...except maybe more dael on the daily :-D even if its like 15 seconds of you ranting about being cold or hungry or bored :-P
I love your glasses, but I find the reflection of the screen in front of your eyes to be extremely distracting. Is there any way you can adjust it so that the angle of reflection isn't directly back into the camera?
love your glasses look :D
39 Celsius here in California today. I would much prefer the cold.
I enjoyed this one very much and your socks shall be mine!
BADABOOMBA!
Any chance of some more Irish myths?
Is your camera focusing on the photo over your shoulder instead of on you?
Damn, now I'm hungry. :-)
Congrats on being Goonie-fied.
Is there a new curse? Or are you still being affect by the curse from when your fan exploded over you and your room. Just trying to figure out if I have accidentally missed a video.
Come to Brisbane it's only gotten to 8 in the night. But mostly no lower than 13. I miss the cold of NSW and VIC..
don't come to the UK it barely gets above 15 degrees
Sometimes you just wanna feed ya kids to the gods.
I wish we had 8c atm. We are in the 30's and I am boiling
Also I am confused, and this could be an interesting video for you Dael if you don't mind the "grey area" topic, but what is the sexual orientation of the gods?
I don't think they buy into an arbitrary system of categorisation. So far as evidence shows, if they think something or someone is pretty, they go for it.
P
8 degrees? That's Scottish Summer
i thought this guy got cursed by zesus to become a werewolf?
So... Dael never says die?
Choose your god!
It bleeping 55 degrees here
Celsius
*fucking*
I said it once, I'll say it again: just how genre-blind the greeks where?
He should've known that nothing good ever came from tricking the gods (it ended badly even for the one who did it succesfully) unless you are a god yourself, couldn't he find a better hobby than to mock Zeus?
Love your pijiama pants, by the way.
I don't think it genre blindness, as all these stories were probably moral tales whose moral was "Don't disrespect the gods". Of course there's the tales of the gods who go doing bad things to mortals and other gods who punish the victims, which ends up very much a moral of "Gods are assholes", or "Don't be really pretty".
Well, of course that was the reason behind that, but since the characters of myths knew each other it still make them genre-blind in-universe.
Poseidon banged Tantalus' son. Isn't that INCEST because Tantalus is Zeus' son and therefore Poseidon's nephew?
One of the many fucked up families of Greek myth. You should do a video on the rest of the House of Atrius to follow this up.
Dael, you're getting a lot of glare off your glasses.
first comment I love you Dael
ITS PEOPLE! lol
That's actuality some what hot in England
no, it's not.
you look comfortable
Skrillex, is that you?
I envy your being cold. It is very hot here. 106 F.
You're so cute, Dael and I love your vids.
*laughs in Canadian*
Now that you're a Gooney, can you swear others in?
I'm sorry but, its Tuesday.
2019 squad?
Silly Aussie. It's summertime and hot, not wintertime and cold. Follow the rest of the world!
