#GreekMythology
The idea of heracles being scared, let alone enough to run away and hide from someone, really just shows how much of a gigachad typhon was.
Maybe it was before he ascended into godhood
I'm pretty sure this event was before Harcules went into godhood And he never does mention haracleas
@@Tanystropheus10 Read the text
@@Tanystropheus10 1. Herakles 2. It said that he turned into fawn when he and the other Gods panicked and ran to Egypt.
@@Tanystropheus10 the story of Typhon has no clear timeline. Sometimes is right after the Titanomachy, or before the age of heroes. While in Nonnus, it was during Cadmus life (he is some generations before Heracles and Oedipus). While in other versions it also includes Heracles as the ones that run from it. I prefer the versions without Heracles since he has no problem in helping the gods against several giants, so he being scared of Typhon is weird.
Typhon, Echidna and Tiamat should have a barbeque get-together, and discuss what being the parents of dragons, snakes and other monsters are like.
why did i think of dnd tiamat💀

My favourite design of Typhon is from the ‘Olympians’ comics - he’s literally a giant tornado with loads of animal heads sticking out of him.
An amazing design. Fellow Olympian’s reader!
he's.. a Typhon typhoon..
Are You Talking about Pjo (Percy Jackson)
Is this the marvel comics?
@@creedjeremyno, they are talking about the greek mythology series Olympians, by George O’Connor.
I always remember reading a version of this myth that when Typhon rose to destroy Olympus and the gods, Selene rode her moon chariot into battle against the storm giant. Having been an explanation the craters of the moon, were scars from said battle against Typhon. She was a diversion for Zeus being fixed up by Pan and Hermes from my understanding.
You can read that in Nonnus Dionisyaca (maybe i mispronunced). There is the most complete version of the battle and includes a lot of characters. But Nonnus is literaly the last greek poet (V century after Christ) in the roman period so his story is not that well know.
Nice to see Selene getting some more attention
I also heard that story, I'm glad to hear it has a source. Is there anything about posiedons sea monsters fighting Typhon?
Typhon is also the one of the few children of Gaia that has a faithful relationship with his Snake Monster wife
Hello there
Fr
You know something is wrong when the devil and the father of all monsters are the faithful ones
@@eltonmateusnevesneves Hades isn't the Greek Devil; he doesn't tempt people or bring them to ruin.
@@videogollumert isn't about Hades here, it's about Typhon. But yes, Hades relations with his kidnapped wife were also somewhat alright all things considered. Not a lot of people to cheat with in the lands of the dead.
As an Italian I can confirm that we do keep monsters under volcanoes

According to a story my grandparents told me when he was exiled out of heaven he was yeeted on the vesuvius and brought there a piece of heaven
And that's true because gramp don't lie

@@SMILEYFACE3412YEEEEESSS
@@kingofdragons7 WHY DID THIS RUIN EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY FOR ME
@@SMILEYFACE3412 don't worry, it's just how the greeks view it, to them, egyptians worshipped the olympians in form of animals
Gaia: why did you imprison my kids!
Olympians: in do part because they imprisoned your other kids
Gaia: Excuses!
I once heard a version that while Zeus was pinned down with his muscle fibers ripped out and Pan and Hermes were putting him back together Ares tagged in and fought Typhon to buy the other gods time, and ive only heard that second hand do it definitely isn't academically sound but it's still a concept that goes very hard and finally has Ares use his infinite heart of violence to help everyone else out for once
I also heard that one, but it was in school told to me by a friend so I can't confirm it either.
Ares does often get the short end of the stick. You have to give him credit, he is a patron for the Amazons. He also doesn't like people trying to rape his daughters.
6:36 gets really funny for me when you remember folks like to constantly compare Typhon to Godzilla. In the 1998 film Godzilla (now rebranded by Toho as Zilla), was lured in by the military with pounds of fish as bait to ultimately surprise attack him.
"That's a lot of fish."
*_Titanus Typhon_*
I like how you talk about the multiple sources
The version I heard says that the heat from Mt. Etna powers Hephaestus’s forge. Also, this is my favorite story from Greek mythology because it shows the otherwise flawless Zeus in a moment of weakness.
I love how by his standards, being turned into a cyborg just means getting a circuit board taped to his eye.
Typhon is one of my favorite stories to the point where I can't wait to see it adapted into Lore Olympus
Aren't those extremely romaticised & kiddish adaptation of the actual myths tho ? I don't see how they can make Typhon this terrifying, giant monster whose mere sight made the gods crap their pants.
@@azidahaka8543 so you're saying that someone getting r*ped in the exact same webtoon is "kidish"
Typhon is also father of cerberus so... They probably defeted him a long time ago
I mean story is really close to trojan war
@@azidahaka8543 for one thing, they can give him an Echidna a good, maybe even beautiful, relationship
Imagine the kaiju calling someone "nummymuffin"
@@michaeliv284
The idea of two terrifying beings having a cutesy relationship is freaking adorable but also terrifying
Ive also heard another version of echidnas death thats says hera got so angry at her because she would kill travelers coming by her path (i like to imagine she got angry because echidna basically provided heracles with free monsters to kill) and sent her servant arges (the one hundred eye giant) to decaptitate her. And he succeded.
That is story can be found in Pseudo Appolodorus, but is not clear if is the same Echidna.
@@sonofcronos7831 Thanks! Im happy someone could provide an underlying structure to my comment as i have no idea where i heard it. Though i have actually suspected pseudo Apollodorus because he tends to write different versions of myths.
I like that version with the added detail that Echidna could not be slain by gods or mortals, so in the end, she could only be slain by another monster.
@@Blokewood3 Yeah, that detail makes things so much more interesting.
As a Greek this is a good way to teach people real Greek mythology.
I keep loving that I never know how you're going to end these videos.
My god that Typhon design.
I love how Typhon is perpetually screaming
Typhon is an edgy deviantart oc. And I love it.
Hah! That’s actually pretty accurate! :D
I was gonna comment that lol
Typhon looks like someones dad when he finds a scratch on the car
I just started reading Percy Jackson,But I already know a lot of Greek mythology because of you! (:
Spoiler
Typhon appears in the books. That's not a big spoiler tho
@@gustavosauro1882 who’s Typhon?
@@gustavosauro1882 If I remember right, Tuphon's appearance in Percy Jackson is kind of lame. He's just a minor footnote in the battle against the Titans and he gets defeated pretty anticlimactically.
@@Blokewood3 The Sky god ,both warrior gods,the twins,Hephastus,Dionysus,and the ocean god with an army of Cyclopes and a fricking Hundred-Handed One defeated Typhon,the battle lasted for a week.
love that you guys have friends helping with them sources. thats so base of you
One my new favorite videos of yours! The animation was so funny I had to watch it twice in a row
This could not have come at a better time. I am almost at the part where Typhoon attacks New York in Percy Jackson!
Thanks for the video. I did pause during the ad just to see what manga's you have on the shelf.
Thank you for your videos they always cheer me up when I am sad
I really liked all the different sources and variations of the stories in this
I’m so excited, also I’m listening to an audiobook about Greek gods so this is perfect
If anyone wants to know the book it’s simply called mythos and it is written and read by Steven fry
3:53 Pegasus also son of Poseidon.
Uh, so it basically was a brotherly teamup.
This is going to be awesome!
Hey jake. I have a question. Will you ever make a video about king midas?
Do you think Typhons Snake-Arms all have their own consciousness?
Imagine him not beeing able to move because every snake is trying to do something different.
I think I'm having a dejavu.
Thank you for every video u do with such great devotion
Amazing vid!
In another video about this myth by SarcasticProductions I commented on a version of the myth which says that Ares assisted Hermes in rescuing Zeus.
Ares was fighting Typhon so he can buy some time for Hermes to steal Zeus' tendons and free him.
After Typhon's defeat, Zeus decided to award Ares with more important role as "god protector" instead of just a war God.
This version of the myth is probably a way for the Greeks to explain why the Roman Mars was so important to them unlike Ares to Greeks.
Love your vids
I cant wait to see this video even thought I should be sleeping I guess I’m staying up all night!
You have a really nice manga collection. I like it 👌
3:32 The dragon's name is Ladon! You should do a dragons episode covering this and other cool big reptiles!
You are a very good RUclipsr keep doing good
I find it interesting that Typhon is restricted under Mt. Etna as an explanation for Volcanic eruptions, whilst Hephaestus is also used to explain them. And this is made all the more intriguing when you realize Hephaestus and Typhon have the same origin in some tellings, that being Hera’s sole immaculate conception.
Hephaestus and Typhon same person confirmed???
As I remember Hera just summoned the Typhon (that way bringing him to life) when she was angry on Zeus
Great Video
Never mind Typon almost destroying Olympus, look at em jaw muscles, doesn't he even get tired-
I really want to see which Titans you showed in The Jails Of Tarturus, I want a video explaining them😄
The first video of mythology in this channel have them. They are Kronos, Iapetus, Koios, Krios and Hyperion
I wonder who'll we'll see in hades 2
I love your Hera design
5:23 spelling mistake I noticed: "form" should be "from"
love your vids!! keep up the great work!
Yay a new video
That is probably the most terrifying god I have ever seen jake animate
That's the idea.
Love your v2 Google Glass!
F****** love ur vids! Their the only reason I know all of this stuff.
LETS GO JAKE!!!
nice video
I actually didn’t know about the Eagle being Typhon’s kid.
I don’t know why but I find it funny that’s jake is in the OSP discord
.
Good work god bless
The Sphinx’s design is badass
Regarding the infrequent appearance of strictly ill-willed characters in Greek mythology... it honestly seems like Gaia herself is an evil Goddess. Her main trait is being a vindictive psycho who seeks vengeance for everything. And her main method of vengeance is through revolts and imprisonment. Kind of messed up ngl.
according to well, some sources, the reason she's constantly pissed is because tartarus is inside her, so banishing her kids to it is kinda like shoving them back in the womb.
...ngl that wouldnt put me in a good mood at all.
*Who would win ?*
The Gigantic,Enormous, terrifying, dreadful dragon monster, who's so tall he reaches the stars, who's body have 100 snakes and other beasts attached to it, who's mere sight is enough to make the gods sh*t their pants
OR
World's Horniest ukelele
Osp refrence nice
I originally heard the Chimera myth as Perseus firing lead tipped arrows into the Chimera's mouth which melted then it choked on the lead to death.
You should do Theseus
God your rendition of Typhon looks like an amalgamated shape I'd doodle in class and try to give a face(s)
7:25 She died Brutally and horribly in terrible agony
7:35 *Elevator Musaq*
Dude thorned a Wiimote to Borg himself
You should do Slavik mythology (in case you haven't heard of it it's basically believing in fairies, magical creatures and in some gods like Mokosh(goddess) and Perun[Peh-roon] (The main god)
Also got Veles, Jarilo and Svarog just to name a few.
5:08 as someone from Bulgaria the pronunciation surprised me tbh
Can you do Thanatos
5:58 ok i get why Apollo is a hawk like Horus, they are kinda similar, and Hermes becomes thot, but why Ares disguises as a fish?Is it just random or is there something else to do with it?
This doesn't really explain much, but Ares' Egyptian counterpart is Ahnur. Also, my question is why did Heracles turn into a faun?
Neat now can you do sun wukong two part episode cause there's also journey to the west
If I recall, Typhon’s size was as follows:
“So tall his head scraped the stars. Arms so wide they stretched east to west”
i think we can tell that the lead tipped spear story is a more modern version of the story because at 4:09 we see him using a gun. The greeks didnt have those back then.
Well how else are we gonna pump her full of lead
A little hint….for hello fresh meals- knives are to cut, Not smash. Go back and forth-not straight down. Very nice job keeping your hands free, very good!!
Oh, holy crap, he did the suggestion I made
Lol Zeus going at him with the sickle he used to castrate his father. I mean if it worked once I guess
No, Zeus didn't use it to castrate his father, Chronus, Chronus used it to castrate *his* father, Uranus (Sky Dad)
Typhon is my favourite monster I am so faustrated that he’s not that talked about considering he was the only guy in Greek Mythology who actually defeated Zeus
Imagine not being here before the premiere
i would like if u make a video on bellerophone it would be interesting
Nice
As Overly Sarcastic Productions described him "The Greek's version of Godzilla!"
can you make a video of Ares' sons
plz
Small note, you can pronounce Gaia as Yee (thats how we pronounce earth in Greek) and it sounds easier.
Hey, can you please do a story of Amphitrite please? It would be great if you did it
Edit: I’m a big fan, so it would be really awesome to see you do Amphitrite and Poseidon
Edit: There is no "edited" in your comment, so you legit changed your mind after you were done with the comment and before posting added the "Edit" right after! I find it funny ngl!
Am I just really uncultured or are you talking about Aphrodite
@@bahnankhayre9534 -No, that's not what they meant.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitrite
can you do a mythology story about lyngbakr
Can you make a story about hyacinthus and apollo :')
Not the sphinx committing unalivement 🤣
Yes
“That’s too bad for her” 😩😂
Can you do phillipine mythology?
Amisodarus is a real mood.
the most important thing i’ve learned from this video is that jake is in the OSP discord
Just goes to show that people are people then as is now people were fascinated with fantastic adventure stories.
You got a sponser 👏
I love the part where Future Jake said its “borgin’ time” and “borged” all over the place
How about one about Echidna Next? And perhaps The Offspring of Typhon? Or maybe the Titan Wars? Also, the Hecatonchires are Fucking Creepy as hell. Talk about those, perhaps?
EDIT: God's damn it! How was I supposed to know you did a video about the 12 trials already? Well nevermind, suppose I should be watching this channel more often.
Saw Berserk in background of the add :)
The way the Chimera was killed is quite similar to the way the dragon from Bel and the dragon was killed by Daniel, using its fire breath against it by "feeding" it a non food item
Hey can we get story of circe at some point?
I'm familiar with a slightly different version of the story. Instead of Hermes and Pan, it was a hero named Cadmus that sabotaged Typhoon after Zeus's initial defeat.
There, Cadmus disguised himself as a shepherd and played a panpipe which impressed Typhoon. He suggested to Cadmus that he could have any goddess as a wife when he took over Olympus-except for Hera. But Cadmus reclined the offer, instead saying that if Typhoon liked his pipe music, he would love his lire, but he needed a suitable string.
So Typhoon handed him Zeus's sinews, which Cadmus hid away and distracted Typhoon some more with his music, giving Zeus time to recover.
I like this story because it is such an interesting concept that a single human was the one who saved the mightiest god in peril.
It's even more impressive when you consider that Cadmus's story was kick-started by him setting out for his missing sister Europa, who Zeus kidnapped for obvious reasons.
Cadmus had every reason to resent Zeus, and promptly ignore his call for help, but he followed through without any complaints.
As far as I know, the story is from Nonnus's Dionysiaca from 4~5th centuries, so it is probably not an OG Greek myth, but I still remember it fondly, and is one of the many reasons why Cadmus is my favorite Greek hero.
You watch OSP too? I knew you were a man of culture!
