I love how you actually portray the complexity of so many female characters. Specially because modern adaptations don't do that, Hera isn't a jealous mean wife she has legit insecurities and is stuck on an unhappy marriage, Demeter wasn't just a Karen overprotective mom, she was trying to un-kidnap her daughter, it's refreshing to see.
how did i never realize that percy jackson’s “obtain medusa head kill stepdad quest”, completely echoes perseus’s “obtain medusa head kill stepdad quest”. that’s amazing. nice work rick.
The Percy Jackson books do echo the real myths. The Lightning Thief is based on the tale of Perseus, and the Sea of Monsters is based on the Golden Fleece. I just realized that myself two years ago.
No story in percky jackson is original. They are also just greek myths with changes in some characters locations (like Polyphemus guarding the golden fleece, since they have no connection to one another). But they are exactly the same with no originality (with the exception that they are in the United States).
It's honestly sad when you think about it: She's known as the Greek goddess of the hearth and family, yet 'her family' (i.e. the other gods) is non-existent. The only time they're seen coming together, is to fend off bigger threats (typhon, cronus, etc)
It's comforting to know that I wasn't the only child that read a certain popular YA series in elementary school about Greek Mythology and thought it was neat, to which it became my entire personality.

Pretty cool we read the same books. Used to live for the releases of those books. Would buy them with gift cards I had saved back from birthdays/Christmases
I don't study Greek mythology, but I recognized a lot of the names in this because I read old Greek plays for fun. This helped so much. Now I can actually understand what's going on because the gods are a big part in the plays
Adi Divyan /vayanaattukulavan theyyam Divyan/thiyyan Daivam/theyyam Thiyyans god's are theyyams Centuries old thiyyas theyyam thottams do mention the meaning of the name thiyya as divya/divyan (in english it means divine) several times in the theyyam rituals Thiyyas are shaktheya hindhus from kerala thiyya means divyan/divine and theyyam means daivam/ deva and in central asian and Chinese language also the word thiya meens divine/deva or heaven and the ritual performance of the divine is called theyyam/daivam And most theyyams are related with thiyya community of north malabar and thiyyas ancestor god is vayanaattu kulavan/aadi divyan/aadi thiyyan and ancestor godess or kula devi is Arya poomaala bagavathi and sree kurumba bagavathi is also an important goddess of thiyyas almost all sree kurumba kavu and temples in malabaar is related with thiyya and they also worship muthappan an aryan god of thiyyas a mixture of Shiva and vishnu as one divine soul theyyam in all parts in the country and many of thiyya theyyams do mention Arya word many times in their theyyam thottams like Arya nation,Arya land, Arya god,Arya king,Arya daughter etc.. and the nearby hindhu communitys around north malabar area also adopted theyyams from years and gentic studies by indian government authorities also saying thiyyas have an out side origin from south india and thiyya played a huge role in the spread of kalaripayattu, Ayurveda and theyyams in malabar kerala and the ruling hindhu party in india BJP (bhara thiya janatha party) also named after this community 'bharathiya means divine people of bharat' it use to glorify the people of bharat. And the word 'thi' also means in Malayalam 🔥 fire(agni) the purest thing and its colour is orange which is a sacred colour for hindhus and in central asian-chinese vedic hindhu-bhudhist mixed religion they used the word Thiya to glorify their gods like Dàzìzàithiān (Shiva), Dìshìtiān (Indra), Dàfàntiān (Brahma), Jíxiáng Tiānnǚ (Lakshmi), Biàncáithiān (Saraswati or Bharathi) and scy-thians are also an indo iranian tribe lived in central asia and in anciant greek also thia means divine/god/ goddess and a goddess called theia also in Greek methodology and many gods also carry 'thia' name in ancient greek religion. In the Vedic tradition, soma (Sanskrit: सोम, romanized: sóma) is a ritual drink of importance among the early Vedic Indo-Aryans.The Rigveda mentions it, particularly in the Soma Mandala. Gita mentions the drink in chapter 9 It is equivalent to the Iranian haoma(alcohol drink)The relationship between humans and the deity was one of transaction, with Agni (the sacrificial fire) taking the role of messenger between the two. Strong traces of a common Indo-Iranian religion remain visible, especially in the Soma cult and the fire worship and animal sacrifice is also part of early vedic tribs
These myths usually have a ton of variation in them, but then one I heard mortals weren’t actually able to grab the apples so he needed atlas to get them for him. he actually killed the dragon himself beforehand but when he went to grab the apple is disappeared in his hand. He knew that it wasn’t possible for a mortal to grab it because Prometheus told him so when haracles freed him(in the version I know he freed Prometheus so he would tell him where the apples actually were). Prometheus also suggested to get atlas to pick them for him because he happened to be close to the tree. I guess he technically still received help, but it was more like he paid for the help he needed to complete the task.
Gods help are not take into consideration. Athena helps Heracles a lot in the other stories but Euristheus never opposed it. Also in some versions Heracles just kill Ladon and takes the apples by himself. Only the help of other mortals are considered, Euristheus would not be crazy to oppose the will of the gods. If a god is helping Heracles, when what can he do?
honestly jake is one of the only non-greek youtubers who actually knows the myths and is able to tell them correctly (im a greek person who lives in greece so yes i can confirm)

I wonder if you’ll be doing videos for Eurydice, Sisyphus, Jason and the Argonauts, the Minotaur, Icarus, The Iliad, or The Odyssey. Those are my favorite Greek myths.
13:36 I always thought Medusa was a loyal servant of Athena, but she was beautiful. And one day Poseidon came in a temple and stuff started happening, and Athena was mad she was betrayed, she cursed Medusa to be so hideous that if she looked at someone they’d turn to stone. Soon Athena realized that what happened to Medusa wasn’t her fault but Athena was like “…”. So yeah, Athena wasn’t so wise when she accused an innocent worshipper of something she couldn’t control. People back then needed to get their story straight!
As far as we can tell, the original version of Medusa was just a monster lady who was always a monster lady. Ovid made the Medusa-as-a-victim-of-the-gods version up for Metamorphoses because it was more narratively compelling, and it's stuck around because he was right, his version is better.
Some people like telling it as Athena turning Medusa into a scary death snake lady to make sure that men dont take advantage of her beauty again, and its a way to protect herself. But this isnt the original saying, just a more wholesome way to look at it.
Don't recall the last time I subbed to a channel so fast. Also, your portrayal of Epimetheus as God of Being WAY Too Late to the Understanding Things Party was chefkiss
Dude its middle school all over again thanks for the trip down the memory lane. PS. As a Greek person i find this hillarious and accurate lmao. keep it up man
There a a lot of variations of Medusa's story. The one I heard was that she was a loyal servant of Athena and was raped so Athena gave her the snake head to protect herself (by Turing people to stone). It's so interesting that everyone has their own version of her story.
This one is a modern version of the story. There are no evidentiary sources to suggest this would have been an actual interpretation or version that ancient Greeks and Roman’s would’ve used. I think the internet is to blame
The main problem with this interpretation is that she helps Perseus slay Medusa (giving him the mirror and items to help) and even puts Medusa’s head on her shield afterwards.
Another one was she was a loyal subject of athena but was raped by posidon and athena punished her instead by giving her a head of snakes then helped percius slay her by giving him the mirror
I notice you glossed over who Alcmene actually was, i.e. Zeus' great-granddaughter (through her grandpa, Perseus). That's right, Heracles is his own great-granduncle and his brother is his great-grandpa, and his dad is also his great-great-grandpa. Like, lots of mythologies have deities whose family trees don't fork, but the Olympian tree looks like the goddamned Gordian knot.
Also, turns the whole story of Medusa boning Poseidon in Athena's temple and getting cursed was made up by Ovid centuries into the Roman Empire as part of a story where he ranted about powerful people abusing the innocent because he got exiled by the emperor. There's no evidence that this part of the story existed before that.
@@cheezemonkeyeater just to point that out. It's still baffles me that the entire Reason why Metamorphosis even made was because Ovid trying to be a hypocrite
@@angelofthedeath2433 Honesty it happens all the time. People can only write from their perspective and often only an outside viewer can see the contradictions.
The part he made up was Medusa being a beautiful human and worshipper of Athena who was forced by Poseidon. And that Athena, Jealous of Beauty of Medusa, turned her into a ugly gorgon. I think
Thank you so much I'm actually studying English Language and Literature and we have Mythology class. I'm learning it in a fun way thanks to you. Please keep going.
I love the style and format you’re doing for these videos. Though there is one part about the Heracles story you sadly left out. King Eurystheus gets terrified multiple times throughout and hides inside of a storage container, best ancient artwork depicting this comes from the Erymanthian Boar labour.
@@Vinethatatethesouth yes, which is why I’m learning it from other sources, but do remember that lore Olympus isn’t made to teach you Greek mythology, it’s just a fun WEBTOON comic based of Greek mythology but with their own spin on it(to put it lightly)
21:54 in some versions Zeus brought Heracles to Hera in her sleep and put his mouth to her breast ( Heracles’s mouth not Zeus’s ) and since Heracles was so strong from the milk and Zeus’s genes he…how do I say this… sucked too hard ( nailed it ) and caused hera to wake up surprised and spew out milk from said mommy milkers, and the milk spread out so far and so powerfully she made the *milky*way, in norse myth btw it’s the celestial cows milk that makes the *milky*way

Imagine Percy Jackson being thought of as a genuine part of the Greek mythos in a thousand years from now.
It would harm the reputation of the greek myths.
9:44 Prometheus is so proud
Good videos keep up the work
Nice love ur vids
Jake could you do a video on the gods of sleep and dreams (Morpheus and Hypnos)
Pretty sure he mentioned them once or twice.
@@lifeiscats1337 I watch all of Jake's greek mythology videos and he did not mention anything about Morpheus and Hypnos.
Fuck I read that as Morbius 💀
I should be ashamed to be called a human being

21:54 in some versions Zeus brought Heracles to Hera in her sleep and put his mouth to her breast ( Heracles’s mouth not Zeus’s ) and since Heracles was so strong from the milk and Zeus’s genes he…how do I say this… sucked too hard ( nailed it ) and caused hera to wake up surprised and spew out milk from said mommy milkers, and the milk spread out so far and so powerfully she made the *milky*way, in norse myth btw it’s the celestial cows milk that makes the *milky*way
