"The man who desired the wife of Zeus".
People: How dumb are you?
Ixion: *YES*
Tbf. Zeus constantly cheats on his wife, and who wouldn't want to be with Hera
@@everyone1liesd459 I know, but still it's a too much stupidity to anger Zeus who literally is the king of gods.
@@everyone1liesd459 You Do Realize
Even Hera does not want Ixion right?
She outright tell Zeus about the idiots Attempt advance to her
@@ronanchristiana.belleza9270 Yes. She missed her chance to have a revenge affair on her cheating husband.
If you want the "yes" to be in bold remove the full stop.
Zeus can set love affairs with every woman and hera is only forbidden. What kind of justice is that
The thing is Hera didn't want him also. So, I assumed, it was still a trespass against Hera and Zeus.
@@arifjonatan9300 imagine Zeus meeting Odin.
@Jean G. D. S 15 Zeus should’ve kept it in his pants then his bastards and mothers won’t be tortured by Hera,
it’s Zeus fault why did Hera torture the women and kids.
It's not about justice. It's about honor. Hera is the goddess of marriage. So no affairs. And hera rejected him too. So...
well she's not forbidden , she rejected the guy
Bloke was given countless chances and yet he actively chose to trip over himself. Quite the foolish hobby.
I've more respect for Sisyphus than this guy, at least Sisyphus planned his chances
Yeah. And accepted his fate willingly. A true badass

@@localegoist4079 Well I say.
Dionysius: "Um, Dad?" cracks open a pouch of mead. "Why did you make Cloud Hera capable of giving birth?"
Zeus: "I don't know. I guess I got too into the craft."
So he father of all centaurs.

What i really like about Greek myths is how interwoven they are. this story doesn't only tell us of this king for a moral, it also tells us where centaurs came from.
It sounds weird to me. Im not certain at all, but my theory is that this channel combines different traditions or myths if they refer to the same person. This gives you the impression that there was only one all-inclusive myth to begin with, but i dont think this is true.
I never knew much about Greek History but because of my fascination of the Fate Franchise I learned so much. Like, Hercules is the descendant of the hero Perseus and the Spartans are descendant of Hercules or how the fall of Troy from the Trojan War resulted to the birth of the Roman Empire because of Aeneas, the cousin of Hector, is the ancestor of Romulus and Remus who founded Rome.
@@wyvrusgriffion3948 What you have to remember is that "Legitimacy" was hard to come by back in the day. So somehow tying you're family to divinity was an easy fast track around that problem. Since civilizations tended to build off one another, it was only natural for them to have a sense of progression. Thats why Greek Gods turned into animals for a time to live in Egypt, effectively making the Greek Gods the Egyptian Gods too. For all intensive purposes that was like the 1st recorded "Retcon" in history.
I was certain that centaurus came from a love night between zeus and some 🐎. 😂
In real life, centaurs came from the first people to ride horses being seen by somebody else, and the second people being unable to understand what they are seeing and losing their minds
Zeus was actually pretty reasonable in this one tale
*Nods suspiciously*
Only this one.
@@mayakusakai2389
In most myths he is pretty reasonable and just fulfills his role as king. But of course, the ones in which he seduces mortals are more infamous and known.
For a change 😁
@@thecollector4332 and that seducing parts are all overrated since Zeus only take women who could be called the most beautiful of their generation at least usually
1:05 "hey wanna come check out this new room in my palace with an ominous pit in the middle?"
"Sounds like fun, what could go wrong?"
😆
Zeus: mortal, how dare you hit on my wife
Also zeus to mortal women: we'll bang ok?
ew i wanna say that cant be true BUT I KNOW IT IS I HATE THAT
Consent is important and Hera was flat out repulsed and was the one to tell Zeus in the first place. Being the Goddess of marriage she’ll never cheat
fantastic comment.
Zues: messes with everybodies wife
Somebody Messes with Zeus' Wife
Zues: *Suprised Pikachu

The irony that Zeus had issues with someone hitting on his wife and then got what dude thought was his wife, pregnant. Even funnier that Hera not only had a problem with it, but didn't even bother to come to the man's defense. But, hey, there are a lot of marriages that are like that. The one person can cheat all the time, but don't let there be revenge cheating. Then that other person, male or female, is now considered a ho.
The issue wasnt sleeping with Hera but bragging about having an affair..even zues didnt do that
@@dennismwesh dude. Talking about it is not equal to hundreds of affairs.
@@weltschmertzz He got a point here - Zeus got angry and quickly forgave him for the attempted affair (as he saw himself in that position). Zeus only strike him down and punish him for bragging about it... not the attempted affair itself. The Olympians have an ego.
You are forgetting that hera didn't like the guy's proposal
@@dennismwesh Didn't Zeus bring Ganymede to Olympus to be his lover/cupbearer to the gods? Does flaunting your lover in front of your wife and the other high respecting deities count as bragging or is flaunting a whole other category? Either way, Zeus' disrespect game is strong.
Zeus was surprisingly lenient with this guy, at least at first. Since Zeus himself has trouble in keeping his own lust in check.
It was only when this man started spreading the false information that Zeus struck him in rage and sent him straight to Tartarus.
He was never told it wasn't really her. He was left to think she was really into him and liked him.
So he was really punished for his disrespect and false allegations and not for falling for Hera!
@Ayahuascaguy Ayahuascaguy the title did!
Those weren't really false allegations. For what Ixion knew, he had truly slept with Hera.
And also: "If you only would bear in mind the fate of Ixion, you would never have dreamed of falling in love with beings so much above you. For he, you remember, is bent and stretched across the heaven like a wheel." - Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana (Greek biography C1st to C2nd A.D.)
In fact, as far as I remember, Pseudo-Apollodorus is the only one who claims that Ixion was punished for boasting about raping Hera and not for the deed itself.
@@omniavanitas7893 the mythological Greek Gods were mean,spiteful and egocentric. The why or how Ixion was punish is just another example but we also have to remember that Ixion was not a very smart or grateful man and he was punished for opening his big mouth, don't feel sorry for him, we are suppose to learn from our mistakes and he didn't.
@@martharivera1590 well said
I feel like stealing the horses was justified, even though it was wrong. The king shouldn’t have broke his promise in the first place
Edit: I meant stealing as in taking them, I know they were his
yes
He shouldn't have made the promise
he's the bad guy in the first place after all
Technically it wasn’t even stealing, because Ixion had already promised to give Eioneus the horses in exchange for being allowed to marry Dia, which he was, but Ixion didn’t give Eioneus what they agreed on. Eioneus was simply taking what was rightfully his as per their agreement.
@@LittleMissRequiem Agreed. Ixion did not fulfill the terms of their agreement.
3:03- "Strike me down Zeus! You don't have the balls-"
😂😂😂
ZOOOOOSSSS!!!
gotta give Hera credit: her husband mistreats her and fraternize with mortals, gods, and everything in between but makes the decision NOT to respond in kind.
I mean, Hera's the goddess of marriage so it's pretty obvious why she wouldn't do such a thing
@@rezandrarizkyirianto-1933 yeah it isn't just not her style. It goes against her very nature.
@MadHatter Zombie Edition it makes more sense to come after her title,after all,gods personalities come after their elements,it was built upon what they are the deity of.
@MadHatter Zombie Edition from an antropological point of view,the natural concepts comes before the antropomorphisation of a deity. In the greek world this was also obtained with the Titanomachia,with the new gods taking the place of the old ones. The titans represented the first deities,taking the form of natural elements such as the sky ,the ocean and the earth. The later gods were represented as human and more complex to represent the new conception of religion,where gods were fickle and prone to vice, and became gods of more specific and predominantly human concepts,such as marriage,wine,madness, arts ,beauty. That is the reason we have Nereus,titan of the sea,and Poseidon,god of the sea,earthquakes and horses,or Aphrodites,goddes of love and beauty,and Eros,primordial titan of Love/sexuality. The human shaped gods bring a human element ,but their are created starting from their elemental concept. The fact that mythology say they become gods of a certain things,is purely a narrative insertion or explanation, because the worship was created first and the myth behind it later. For example,Poseidon was worshipped as god of horses long before becoming god of the seas,even though the myth says that he immediatly became the ruler of the seas after defeating Chronos. That is because the mythology and character were created after the worship was already extablished.
I love how Zeus finally respected his wife to protect her and was enraged when someone boasted about sleeping with her
Forget about the story... Dude making this comics are way too hard than it looks... Hats off for it bro💯💯
remember that in this story zeus was in a good mood otherwise he would have played a far more sinister trick.
p.s. in another version instead of a cloud there was a nymph at the party who resembled Hera.
Yup and she was the mother of the centaurs.
Zeus: HOW DARE YOU FLIRT WITH MY WIFE?!!
also zeus: hey baby girl, how you doin'?
Thought Zeus would intervene earlier. I remember reading (this was a while back) that one of Zeus’s domains was that of guest-friendship.
found the German
Yes, one for his epithets is Zeus Xenios, which means Zeus the Stranger I think.
Explains why he always bangs your wife.
Put a whole another meaning to "Be my guest" huh?
well king ixion should have never broken his word to his father in law and killing both the father in law and wife was beyond cruel. then the king of the gods gives him a chance yet ixion pines for hera. the king of the gods has had many affairs yet hera remained faithful, that is saying something. yet we get cool centaurs out of this legends, i did not think that was how centaurs got here excellent story
I didn't know the story in detail until today. Amazing work..!! Thank you for the update, See U in History..!!
Zeus; *understands that a man can't always keep it in his' pants* (something he is all too familiar with)
also Zeus; *throws a man into Tartarus for mindlessly bragging about being with Zeus' wife*
Man was courteous enough to let you hit on a clone of his wife due to him sympathazing with ya, atleast have the decency to keep your lips sealed.
He gotta keep a reputation and "cucked" was not something he wanted on his list of titles most likely.
I mean it kinda makes sense. That was literally just a cloud so it didn't affect Zeus in any way. Then the dude has the nerve to say he banged your wife. Deserved it for being the whole circus.
I'm surprised Zeus didn't intervene when he killed his father in law, since he was really big on treating guests in your home a particular way.
He was more about punishing rule breakers than preventing the rules from being broken in the first place
Maybe he saw this and started the whole process it didn’t end well for him after all
I love the fact that half of the video is telling the actual story and the other half is the process of making the art
Perfect combination I would say
Another MASTERFUL piece my friend. The narration was clear and concise without being overly dramatic. The story arc follows the myth to the letter. Oh yes, I would be remiss if I failed to say hats off to your illustrator on another visually STUNNING bit of work. Cheers. 🍻
If I was infatuated with any of the deities.... I would have a hard time to choose whom is safe to sleep with as I'm pretty sure 99.9% it never goes well for mortals especially I wouldn't choose Hera, Artemis or Athens they are so off limits. Aphrodite still I wouldn't cuz her boyfriend is Ares and her husband is Hephaestus. Hestia is the innocent one and still no just cuz she's like the protected youngest sibling of the others and Demeter is high maintenance, she treated her daughter like Rapunzel in Tangled, that sort of isolated from all the other gods
Her name's Athena
"Athens" was the city named after her
Moral of the story: Don’t get involve with the Greek gods, they are all jerks
Hecate would probably not be so bad
Aphrodite is worth it though. Especially because I get to make Ares cry home to his mother again.
@Ephendrielle Wilson webtoon Olympus lore has me in love with Hades lol
Ixian: "I bedded the Queen of Heaven"
And then along came Zeus.....
HE HURLED HIS THUNDER BOLT
HE ZAPPED
LOCKED THOSE SUCKERS IN A VAULT
THEY’RE TRAPPED
And on his own stopped chaos in its TRAPS
The poor snakes who had nothing to do with it also has to suffer an eternity of pain lol
Shhhhh
No, these snakes committed terrible atrocities
Someone let Asclepius's snakes loose.
Well they are immortal most likely, so they’re probably fire proof
@@zionnemakoma1398 the snakes committed tax fraud and evasion.
Zeus: YOU DARE DESIRE MY WIFE
but i thought she was your sister
Zeus: that too
Zeus gave chance to the most nefarious person and won't believe his own wife and still had empathy on him
So Zeus isn't angry about the guy who thought he boinked his wife because of that, but because he told everyone he was a cuck. Legend
I can't get enough of this channel.
ixion: boasts having seggs
zeus: and i took that personally
Ixion: I bedded with Hera queen of the Heaven’s
Zeus: *thunderclap*
For the clapped Hera cheeks
The amount of effort.

These people never ever learn. They receive mercy and then try to play the one person or God that helped him out. And then they beg for mercy again. Nah man. You tried to play a God. You deserve whatever comes to you
Me see's a greek myth i'm not familiar with.
*quickly clicks on thr video
Nice video man. Keep up the good work. I LOVE the visuals very much.
Zeus: “Nobody cheats my wife but ME!!”
Ixion is also a lightning house summon in Final Fantasy X. The image of that same horse is shown on a lightning staff of another summon in Final Fantasy XV.
Ixion: Yeah she was putting out like a Mare in Hea-
**Lighting Bolt Strikes him down**
Really liked how you included the illustration recreation at the end. Great stuff
Thank you for the awesome video.
This video was amazing!
Love comics and history and love your artwork great job new sub here
This is one underrated channel with an amazing artist and story telling.
I totally wasn't expecting the cloud to get pregnant
Beautifully animated! Thank you for this!!
I- the fact that the cloud shaped hers just had to suffer alone 🤧

This is one of my favourite channels
Incredible artwork man
Thank you for sharing
Best story ever and such a great work of art 💕💞
Can we appreciate every effort put into on every panels? The art and simply the whole color pallete used fits the comic well. I dont know what to say ither than this was a masterpiece, quite underrated sadly, give this man what he deserves
Incredible. Great video.
Great work. I've subscribed immediately 👏🏾
love the art work subscribed great story telling and illustration
Nice touch at the end there, showing the creative process 💯
Good work!
I therefore conclude that Zeus wasn't the origin of the saying "Do not do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you".
Always amazing content 😍
Love these videos ❤️
i love the good old myths from ancient times when good endings were rare
A dude who deserved the punishment...a nice refresher amongst these stories haha
Beautiful piece of art my friend
Something would like to point out is Zeus gave im a pass on wanting Hera and even Sleeping with what he though was Hera, what pushes him over the edge was Ixion claiming to have slept with Hera. Zeus was rather forgiving in this instance.
Dude had everything and it still wasn't enough.
I enjoyed the clips of the creation of the characters⚘⚘⚘bravo for the production of these videos and thank you all who participate. I enjoy these very much-loved ❤
Great job♥️
love the process of making of the illustrations
Moral of the story is that some people don't change and there's no point in feeling sorry for them. This applies then and now.
0:52 goddamit. This still reminds me of the "oh, you're approaching me?" meme
And I love how you do the animation
Ixion within that wheel reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man"-the proportions of a man within a circle.
Glad I stumbled across this video. I thought you were using comics from some where else. So dope to see you made them! Sub!
Fantastic storytelling and animation!
Who actually bound ixion to the wheel in tarterus, who enforced the will of the gods in that place? I don't recall that detail in mythology
Perhaps it was the furies?
In Tartarus there wasn't really anyone who controlled Tartarus. It was more of just being tossed inside. :3
@@humanity600 so who bound him to the wheel then
Hades would have bound and enforced will of the gods upon him, Tartarus is still tied to the Underworld but the Primordials tend to not get involved which would allow younger and less powerful deities some control over their domain but not a lot. Hades is in this position a lot given that he seems to have the most contact with the Primordials such as Nyx, Thanatos, Erebus, and the army of children that Nyx has that are also considered Primordials.
From Wikipedia: "Zeus ordered Hermes to bind Ixion to a winged fiery wheel that was always spinning"
"What is my purpose?"
"You test Ixion"
"Oh my God"
The selfmade artwork is amaziiiiiinnn , also the stories are awesome too congratz !
That prank at 2.00, on the left...
Great vid and I peep the artwork at the end
It said Zeus’ wife and I just thought “which one?”
Awesome and cool!
Omg thank you so much!!! Next can you do Danaus?
Never been this early. Great story as ever. 💖
Yo I love your artwork
Imagine actually thinking, "He took the horses I promised him! He will pay!"
Murdering a guest: You've suffered enough.
Boasting about sleeping with the wife of the world's greatest philanderer: That's too far.
I had no idea that you were an amazing artist👍🏼
Nice art work
Zeus when someone steals his wife- big angry
Guy when Zeus steals his wife- welp
1:08 reminds me of the movie 300. Never knew a cloud could get pregnant. Lol! Zeus understood Ixion because he too can't contain his lust towards any attractive living being. 🙄😒😒😒
Tysm for drawing for us💘
Loved the art. And the story
Ixion - Zeus you earned a lifetime pass for unlimited rides on the rotating wheel
Amazing art
This is some FANTASTIC Art!!! Excellent work!!! I never knew the story of Ixion...but he sure was some piece of work...although I'm surprised at Hera, considering her relationship with a lustful hubby!
Ixion hits on hera
Zeus: lemme draw you a new one
