I think Hermes has him slightly beat. God of Messangers, merchants, theives, sports, wit, cunning, luck, trickery, invention, writing, eloquence and oration, commerce, magic and alchemy to name a few. He's also a psychpomp.
Yeah...I think that has something to do with the fact that Artemis was already a VERY powerful and popular goddess and was already being worshipped way before Apollo came along....They couldn't make her weaker(they tried) but they were twins so they had to be equal and so they just kept adding stuff until he was powerful enough!!!
@@Goatcha_M Because in Mycenaean Greece (Ancient Greece's Ancient Greece) he was god of the Underworld as well as the Sea, and he kept Earthquakes from the Underworld connection.
IIRC this was during a contest of sorts to persuade the City of Athens to choose their patron God between Poseidon and Athena...ofc we know whom they picked. He presented Horses and Athena presented an olive tree.
@@finnmchugh99Didn’t he present a salt-water spring for the contest claiming that men should pray to it before sea voyages for protection? I vaguely remember in Percy Jackson it being mentioned that Poseidon and Athena’s later collaborated for the creation of the carriage with Poseidon making the horses and Athena making the wooden structure, but am not familiar with the actual original myth that refers to.
Poseidon: "I would also sometimes like to be horse," Hades/Matts response to that request: "I would like to sometimes be married." 🤣🤣🤣 What a one up by Hades/Matt!
I really liked it when hades talked about having a part time wife. My favorite part of greek mythology was hades so i got a good laugh out of him wanting to be part time married
I like the addition of the Alectryon myth. Nice touch Alectryon was a soldier Ares had on watch during a tryst with Aphrodite, but he fell asleep. Helios (sun god before Apollo) saw the lovers and snitched to Hephaestus (Aphrodite’s husband). Ares turned Alectryon into a rooster in his anger. And Alectryon proceeded to warn people of Helios’ arrival since
Zeus: Why should I give you ANY of this? Poseidon: I know about Leto- Hades: I know what you did as a swan- Zeus: Ok You are now god of horses. Hades, you go and kidnap Demeter’s daughter
Well, Hades is the God of riches because all the gems, precious minerals, ores, etc are all underground and Hades rules the underworld. He is rich, he has a wife and has a 3-headed pupper... he's winning compared to Zeus and Poseidon lol 😆
Actually Hades wasn't a god of riches that was his Greek thing where he was just god of the underworld... When Rome found him his name changed to Pluto and then they added the riches thing hence why in heroes of Olympus Nico the son of Hades only has death and shadow abilities and hazel daughter of Pluto could summon anything in the earth that is buried... especially when it is precious
@@Darthcicc Since precious minerals come from under the earth (i.e., the "underworld" ruled by Hades), he was considered to have control of these as well, and as such the Greeks referred to him as Πλούτων (Greek Plouton; Latin PLVTO, Pluto, "the rich one"). from wikipedia cause it had the best quote just there, but you can find many other sources discussing the same thing.
@@Darthcicc It's not that Rome found and changed. Romans syncretized Greek gods to their original Latin and Etruscan gods that had similar charateristics. IE Mars and Ares were both gods of war, but profundly different. Ares was the god of violence and bloodlust. Mars was the defender of the fields, both from diseases (infact there were purification ceremonies of the fields, dedicated to Mars) and from enemies. So he was the god of the just war, not of the violence. Venus was a goddes of gardens and potions (infact her name has the same root of "venenus", poison). The weak link between potions and love made her being syncretised with Aphrodite.
@@heatherturner2366thats only 1 version of the myth, there are several others, some version minthe was the one trying to pull the moves, but got rejected by hades, Persephone found out and turned her into minthe, some version minthe was hades' former lover, they broke up long before he married Persephone, another version, mithe loudly declared that she was much better than Persephone and is gonna steal her man, didnt really work out for her lol
Also isn't Hades weapon of power his helm as much as Poseidon's Trident and Zeus's lightning bolt... So why does he not have it yet when they are at this stage... and I think Matt would have been a better Hades than the guy they got for the TV show because I have seen him be scary and humorous at the same time... just add paranoid and that is a good Hades
The classical Greeks associated Poseidon with earthquakes, because of the Bronze Age Collapse, with the tsunamis from the volcanoes that took down Crete. They also knew about seahorses (hippokampoi), and that's part of why they were associated with Poseidon. It's similar to how Amun, an Egyptian god the Hellenic Greeks liked (as Zeus Ammon), was associated with horns because of spiral ammonite shells that look like horns, though those are aquatic and fossil. You can actually find depictions of Greek kings like Alexander with ammonite shells on his head, showing he had the royalty associated with Zeus Ammon.
Being the god of the underworld wouldn't be so bad. Sure, there's lots of dead things but there's also lots of precious jewels. That's why Hades' throne was actually one of the most beautiful. Dude was loaded.
2:16: the way Terry crew said No almost sounds the same to Shrek when he Said No to donkey when they were set off to rescue the princess, its too similar
Hades asks for simple things, part time wife, a three headed dog, and a hat that makes him invisible. Posidon asks to be the god of horses and earth quakes. Their requests are not equal
And often they happen below sea level... not most of the time but at least half of the time...also you mean Tsunamis, tidal waves in general aren't caused by earthquakes
Hades: I want a game series about my children. It will be called Hades Zeus: Why not you? Hades: I want to be huge. Zeus: Can’t you be big and playable? Hades: Too easy
Well he does the most paperwork when it comes to the donain... he has to make record of every.single.person who enters the Underworld. The worst thing is the other gods make his job worse with famines, wars, storms, etc. If Zeus KABOOMed a whole town, Hades has to make note of all the folk that died.
As someone who was an unhealthy amount of knowledge on Greek Mythology, this is probably one of my favorite interpretations of the Gods. The Pettiness is perfect, I love all the references to different myths, and cunty goth Hades is everything to me. I’m pleased he isn’t just portrayed as “the evil one” like in lots of modern media
Honestly- I can kinda picture it. Horses > Sea horses Earthquakes > Caused by tectonic shifts- pretty sure all the tectonic plates are under water but I'm not %200 sure. I'm suuuure there's a reason in the mythology for it ^^ Also- a video with Terry and Matt? I was sold on the sketch from the start (Carl did well too- just that I grew up with Terry and Matt)

That smirk at the end was perfect too
Front man for The Olympians, symphonic rocks legends.

Okay, but Hades might as well be the god of having a wife in Greek mythology. Between him, Poseidon, and Zeus, Hades is ABSOLUTELY the best spouse.
And his spouse turned a homewrecker nymph into a mint plant...she won't let any nymph cone near her man.
If Percy Jackson has taught me anything this is so true.
Honestly, I don't remember anything about Poseidon's wife. Hera... had a large number of excellent reasons to dislike Zeus as a spouse.

Well, if it's the chronological moment where they are choosing their domains... he technically didn't do anything too weird YET.
Weirdly enough this is more wholesome than the actual Greek history
To be fair, it's not like it's _hard_ to be more wholesome than actual Greek history and myth
a comedy sketch is more wholesome than actual history, who would've thought

Anything is more wholesome than Greek gods.
of course it is, terry crews isn't going to stop a press conference to bang someone.

If Odysseus asked *him* for help, he's be home in a minute.

Poseidon: I know about Leto-
Hades: I know what you did as a swan-
Zeus: Ok You are now god of horses. Hades, you go and kidnap Demeter’s daughter
Hehe but Leda hasn't been born yet
I think Metis would be a better example than Leda
Edit: Persephone is also your daughter Zeus
Ah great. Now lemme go to him and remind him of Athena's mom so I can become god of gaming
I love how they are all just like kids siting on Santa's lap.
