A new baby just gets born
Kronos: "You gonna eat that?"
Looks like Kronos want some baby back ribs.
lol
IM SCREAMING 😂😂😂☠☠
JusticeGraceful noice
This is the first comment I see! Lmfao! Well played, my friend!
😂😂 "And rumor has it, even telemarketers stopped harassing people for a while"
That was one hell of an era. I wish I could’ve seen it.
Why couldn't I have been born in that time period?
😂😂😂
I dont believe it, they are more insistent and evil than Kronos, and he ate his own children..... lol
The good old days.
"You see Gaia was a strong independent wahmen"
Jesus Christ that made me laugh so much harder than I expected.
Why don’t you believe in Christianity
@@Q_reezy I just don't believe that Jesus was this extraordinary person. I believe he was a good person, but I don't believe he ascended in any way. I don't believe that, if a god exists, they would favor any individuals above any others.
@@theincarnationofboredom207 yeah there’s proof Jesus was real but personally I believe he was just spiritually gifted like some people these days
@@kayleemoon._6045 yeah. He definitely did exist, but I don't think he was necessarily special other than being a very kind spirited human being.
The conversation between you two are so harmonious compared to what have I seen on the internet. Keep up the good vibe.
Honestly I love how the Greek mythology kinda just connects, like everyone is related somehow
the more you look at it the less it connects cleanly tho, myths usually have many many versions woth many things changed in each, who does what changes often, greek myths do this a lot, the theogony, was Hesiod's attempts to glue the pieces together. im not doubtful he had to make many of his own bridges here
Heh
Great author hesiod was
My suggestion for the next video? The many Romances of Zeus
Totally. Tht wld make 4 a hellova episode.
He needs to cover the story of hecate considering he completely ignored her part in the story of hades and even in the creation of the universe as she was one of the children of chronus
And his billions and I mean billions of kids, which is way to many to count
It's pretty messed up. Sounds like good video material.
@@NeloBladeOfRanni
Hekate is the daughter of Perses and Asteria, sister of Leto. She's Artemis and Apollon's cousin.
"Hey Buddy it's not a clown car". LOL. Great video!
LMFAO!!! I can't help but picture an extreme pregnant belly...you know, like those pictures people with extreme pregnancy fetishes draw? Poor Gaia lol...I would've killed him if he forced the kids back inside my uterus oh hell no!!!!
This is messed up
"Geia was considerd the mother of all things beuatiful"
Me:guess she's not my mom
Underrated comment
@@youngoutlaws3070 fr
Yeah she was most definately not lol
Pls don't get offended it's a joke
Same here
Well she also birthed all of the monsters /j
Jon: my favorite god is zues
Athena: time to die
Zeus*
Athena need some d and to stop being a karen
I really feel that athena is a lesbian
@@lovers_house2948 nope she's asexual
@@zerosaber257 sis i-
Lol, a strong wahmen.
So I'm not the only one who heard wahmen! Lol
That part threw me off so bad XD
Exactly like who gon tell em 😂
Laughed so hard!!
Ken Hollis lol
Its 4am and instead of sleeping im watching Jon solo I ain't mad tho
scoobert doobert it’s 7:10 A.M. for me.
5:30 for me
2pm for me👀
9:02pm and I live in America
This came out at 7 for me...
Gaia: "the mother of everything beautiful in the world,"
Aphrodite: "..."
Aphrodite was more sexual beauty than “real” beauty
@@angelacooper8973 Indeed.
@@angelacooper8973 Aphrodite was actually my personal favorite goddess of the olyphanims
One of my favourite stories of Zeus, is the one where he and his brother Poseidon were fighting over thetis and Prometheus told them of the prophecy that the son of thetis will be greater than his father which made them change their mind and stop fighting about her. It always never fails to make me laugh whenever i remember it. I just have an image of Zeus going "nah fam, im good" and walking off 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes I love Greek/Roman mythology! Thank you Jon for this wonderful video
i can so agree with you!
Me to
Yooo same!!!
Yes, I am messed up.... and I like. messed up stuff
I agree 1000000%
Everyone: *sleeping*
Me: (4 AM) Ehhh who needs sleep, sleep is for the weak 😂😂😂
Like a boss.
@@artechstorm When it's literary 4.29 AM and I'm reading this ...
"We will never sleep cause sleep is for the weak and we will never rest til we're all fucking dead" -BMTH-
Eh, sleep is for the mentally well-balanced.
It around 4 am and this is what I am doing
Zeus raised by Nymphs.... that explains SO MUCH! Also would love to see one of these based on the Enuma Elish, now THATS a messed up creation myth....
Omg true
I was just thinking this!!!
Ah what does it explain?
@@omarsalem1219 The word Nymph is where we get the term Nymphomaniac from (aka someone that is obsessed with 'mating'). And considering Zeus 'mated' with anything and everything he could grab (Gods/Demi-Gods/humans/animals). It's a good bet that he got those tendencies from the nymphs. ;P
I just found out that the story behind Thomas the Tank Engine is pretty dark so that might be worth looking into
Jake Spivey The creator of the books made the series to entertain his son, because the son was dying.

The movies were good too, I wish they'd continued it :( I should read the books!

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR THE NEW PJO SIRIES ON DISNEY+
@@Saphireraven13 yesssssss
Jon I love this series already! I’m a HUGE mythology nerd and I appreciate all the research you did on this project. I’m very seriously considering become a Patron. I have a huge “internet friend” crush on you, so be warned lol. Wait... was that creepy? Oh well. Keep up the good work 💙
“A strong independent wahmen who didn’t need no man”😂😂
Womynx
I'm Greek and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Your research is good and accurate and I love your enthusiasm about ancient cultures. Keep it up !
Yeah.. He respect our culture.. I have see people say Greek myth are just fiction like comics are when it was a religion and a part of our history 😢💔
@@anna.owo. the Greek beliefs are still practised to this day by many pagans such as myself even though he's completely ignored the Queen of the witches as one of the gods
@@anna.owo. did you play god of war 3
I have play and is just a game so what? Well I am atheist but I respect all religions.. Well maybe he made a video about her
Anna Mrl - I’m not Greek but I’m a classics student, that just goes against what I’m taught :(( In mythology, we’re taught from the get-go that these were MYTHS, not fairytales. Believed to be real, believed to be the truth and the best way to analyze myth is through the same lens. I feel that frustration

Great first episode! I love the many interpretations of mythology that exist honestly, I think this series is gonna be epic.
As a side note, the stories I've heard of Typhon were hella chaotic. Typhon was designed to be stronger than the gods and a more than equal match for Zeus. He was taller than the highest mountain, had great wings, and over a thousand heads that all screamed and roared different animal sounds and languages. The guy was terrifying. All the other Olympians noped the hell out but Zeus stayed behind cause he wasn't about to lose all bis hard work for some giant dragon monstrosity. So they fought for months, destroying everything, till Typhon got the upper hand and ripped out Zeus's tendons and ran away to a cave to recover. Story varies a bit here but the version I like has Pan and Hermes come to check in on Zeus and only to find him flopped on the floor unable to move. They then start forming a plan to get the tendons back. They run into this young hero named Cadmus (he was in the middle of looking for his sister Europa whom Zeus had kidnapped awhile back. He was very unsuccessful) who they convince to go past Typhon's cave playing a pan pipe. Typhon is entranced by the music and begs him to continue and he says "Ya know I'd play a lot better on my lyre but all my strings snapped" and Typhon gives him Zeus's tendons/sinews to string it with. So he does and he plays a song that lulls Typhon to sleep and he sprints off to Zeus and all three of them put his tendons back in. His divineness heals him and he surprise attacks Typhon and defeats him
Woah
if I remember right typhon also stole his thunder bolt before they fought leaving zeus with Cronus scythe
I would love to see you do a messed up origins for the addams family and maybe after that do some background stories on each of the family members
Can't wait until you get to Irish mythology. Is brea liom tú! ❤
Right
I'd love to learn more about Irish theology.
Erin go bragh
I know! Leprechon i think it was
Keep your witch language out of youtube
I always love learning new things about Greek mythology
Same :)
Ah, the most messed up origin of them all...

You got 69 likes on this i feel bad ruining the number lmao
OverlySarcasticProductions crossover when--?
Also, may I request some Asian myths? No one really does that....well besides OSP
Can't wait!!!
Check out the channel Linfamy for Japanese myths
Nah b, some Mayan and Aztec ones. I haven’t seen anyone talk about them
Holy shit yeah, Aztec and Mayan would be good too!
East and South East Asian myths
You are my absolute favorite youtuber and every time you post I'm ecstatic I love the messed up series :)
Ditto
"Wahmen" that part was funny lmfao 😂
-also plz make a video about Zues and how he had so much children
He had many children because he's a notorious womanizer
As a Dane with a great appreciation for the Nordic mythology, I can’t wait for you to cover the Nordic songs and myths! You always do great research, so I’m sure you will even suprise me with some nuggets of information 😊 love what you do, much respect from Denmark!
Can y'all hear my screech of joy? Because I'm pumped to see Mythology Explained.
I love your videos so much❤️❤️
Also can you please do the creation of the world according to Egyptian mythology??
I love Egyptian mythology!!
Hana Dorgham yes! That would be amazing
I named my stuffed snake/neck pillow Apophis...
The fact that one of the five ages of man is included in this (I'm working on a research paper involving it) brings so much satisfaction 😊🤗 Great work on the video!
I'll never get bored of your videos. It's onvious how much work you put into each and every one. I learn so much.
Id LOVE to see a video on the origins of the Swan Princess story!
I LOVE that movie!!! It'd be great to see an origin story for that :O
Maybe you can do an episode on the trickster archetype? Like, comparing different examples of tricksters from various cultures such as Loki, Hermes, the coyote, Anansi and so on, and discussing their place in their respective mythos and what not
Jon please do a video about 1001 Arabian nights next. I think that would be really interesting!
I feel like you should go into more of Egyptian mythology and explain more of that I'm a very big fan
OMG I love mythology and I love you for doing this I know all most every myth Greek and Roman this fill my soul
you are quickly becoming one of favorite channels to visit. keep up the awesome work.
Even telemarketers stopped bothering people for a while 🤣🤣🤣🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
My guy keep pumping those mythology videos out 👍🏼🙏
I don't usually leave comments on RUclips, but I've recently found your channel and I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, and I'm so glad you've decided to make a series dedicated to mythology! It's so fascinating to go beyond the surface and see how everything connects. Thank you for the time you put into your research and your videos!
Hey thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content. So much more to come :)
I know the reason I didn't click this when it first came out was I didn't know what specifically it was about.
The title was too broad... But I watching now!
It's interesting to see the mesh-up of Greek & Roman myth/lore in this. Greek: Hermes, Aphrodite, Aries, Zues. Roman: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter. Eros is the Roman version of the Greek Cupid. Those were just from the top of my head. I don't know who the Greek versions of Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune are. Of course, Pluto doesn't count...or does he? They keep changing it. Nor do I know who the Roman versions of Discord, Athena, or Hera are.
DOH! I just realized that I forgot Neptune is Poseidon. Of course, I don't know the Roman version of Hades, either.
Actually, Eros is Greek. Cupid is Roman...Saturn is Kronos and Pluto is Hades. The Roman form of Athena is Minerva and the Roman form of Hera is Juno.
Apollo is Apollo and Artemis is Diana
@@alakaprashanth5143
I forgot I even wrote my comment. I realized (just after I commented...while doing something else) that I knew about Pluto being Hades. Although, I didn't know about the other three. Thanks!
Also, I'll probably get the Cupid/Eros thing wrong again. I seem to always mix those two up.
@@stephaniegagne3376
There can only be ONE Apollo.
**Queen's song "Princes of the Universe" starts playing**
@@XL.Pumpkaboo an easy way to remember is GrEek and Eros. Both have a distinct E syllable. Therefore, Eros is Greek 🤷🏾♀️
I am so excited for this series Jon Solo! I love your Disney Explained series and only found you by accident but I've been addicted since I came across the videos a few weeks ago. Keep up the awesome work!!
Can you please do more of these? it's so interesting.😍😎
BTW 💓💖😻💚💛💜💙❤ your videos.
This was such a cool idea for an episode!!!! Keep up the great work.👍💙
Tbh, I've read and watched so much stuff about Greek Mythology. But I absolutely love watching videos about it cause I always ended up learning something new. I had no idea about the book the Greek religion and culture were sourced from. Thank you
Can someone explain to me ........ How this channel is SSOOOO undersubbed ??? Every time I watch one of these videos it shocks the crap out of me that he doesn't have 1M AT LEAST !!
I'm not sure if people understand that it is so much more then fairy tales or if they think this is a Disney channel or what?. What I do know is I enjoy this channel SO MUCH the stories you THINK you grew up with are so much more brutal !!! They have been reworked and mis-told so many time its crazy.
Thank. You
Jon Solo
that's a lot
I love mythology, so this is such a treat. Please do more in the future.
YES JON SOLO YOU ALWAYS HAVE IMPECABLE TIMING LOL! Have a happy Friday! 💜💜💜💜💜
I'm so excited about this series! Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the way your explain this AND how much effort you put into researching it.
Loved this. You should do folklore from different countries, more specifically a story or mythical creatures that each is known for. That would be so intriguing.
Just wanted to add that it is absolutely amazing to me how much time energy and research you put into every single one of your episodes.... And your delivery is mesmerizing ....truly I hope you know how much your content is loved and appreciated.... Thanks for all that you do.... Lots of love 💖 and great big hugs 🤗 from Ohio!!!!
man, ive had this in my watchlist for ages. so glad i got round to it!
You are one of my favorite people! I love watching your videos and learning from you!
Thank you for this Jon, I didn’t think I could like your videos more but I wasn’t expecting you to incorporate mythology so much in them! Great work 💕
I'm SO exited for this!!! I'm super intrested in Mythology and you exsplain things SUPER well!! Thank you for this new series!!!!!!!!!
Hearing that word "Hey buddie, it's not a clown car" from Jon Solo makes me laugh lol 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Another great video but this was a really great video I love the direction of your channel....please NEVER stop lol.
I’ve always been intrigued with Greek mythology, I’m so glad this is a thing on your channel now 😁
I can’t wait to see what’s next!
I love a good look into mythology. Always cool to see how someone else thought. Look forward to checking out future installations!
your video about hercules's labor saved me a lot of time on research for my school project
and i watched all your other videos ever since especially the messed up origin, keep up the great work
Yes! Jon I loved this video and would love if you made more like it. Please keep up the good work.
You have to be one of the most self aware and entertaining RUclips's out there. Thanks for the great content!
Great work as allways! I would love to see more videos about this topic
Thank you for your amazing research.
Hell Yea Man!!! I’m sure many people recommended this but it feels like you took my suggestion!! I love you so much man ❤️
Looking forward to Egyptian mythology!
Jon keep doing what you do. You take your videos seriously and we all love your content.
I do love your content!!! I listen everyday (I only found you maybe a month or so ago) while I'm getting ready.
I really enjoyed this! A lot to digest but that’s probably due to the volume of information. So, thanks for the short and sweet rundown! Keep it up and I’ll be over here rewatching this a couple of times in order to get the story straight
I've seen/ read so many versions of the same story.... Sometimes it's hard to know which story is the real one.
Hey bro I’m here for this. I went to college for history so I’m excited to see how well you do with these stories. Great job!
I love this! You should do Egyptian mythology next because that’s also really interesting. This was an amazing video and I’m so glad you started this series!
I have always loved Hreek and Roman mythology. I would love if you did more content on the subject 💜
My favorite god is Poseidon. He is actually the most powerful of the gods, about 80% of the earth is covered by water and he is the god of the sea. In fact, zeus poseidon and hades are pretty much equally strong
Have you read the Homeric epics? What about Hesiod's Theogony?
Love mythology explained, keep up the good work 😉
Binging your greek mythology videos by rewatching from your first to most recent makes me so happy seeing the progress you have made especially from your streaming environment.😁 I hope your content continues growing and reaching more persons, also that you continue to provide us with great,fun and informative content and wishing you and your family all the best in life.🎉😁
When you’ve read, grew up on, and learned from PJO and HoO usually you’ll get kind of irked by these kinds of videos because of slight changes in the myths but this one was really good. 😊😊
12:23 Hesiod to greek Methology is like how the Russo Brothers is to the Marvel comic.... think about it... or Kevin Feige
Hey Jon I 100% love this and I know this probably won’t come until later, but could you do a history on Medusa? Thanks :)
Man your vids are AWESOME literally they get better and better 👍🏽
Nice job man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So happy you have started this segment up! It is going to be fun.
If Uranus had babys with his mom Gaia, is Uransus also their oldest brother? and Is gaia the mother of her grandchildren? Man incest makes family trees complicated...
True 😅
3:01 - You do know that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has appropriated Tartarus as the prison for their worst villains, right?

Really great video man.
Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍
I would love to see more content like this! I love Greek and Roman mythology, but don't know a lot about it. This was very interesting and informative . Please continue posting videos like this.
Intresting topic and we'll delivered to say the least keep up the great work
YAASSS THAT PERCY JACKSON CONTENT 😂
you are so brilliant. thank you for sharing such interesting information in an understandable way! much love
This was really great good job
I read the almost exact version of this story in a mixed mythology book, even the picture where rhea is giving a rock covered baby to cronus is the same
OMG!!!!! YES!!!! Could you do norse mythology next? I am Norwegian myself, so it is kind of a special topic (Also, it's just awesome).
This is literally my favorite thing! Thank you JonSolo!
So awesome!! Great job!
