Pegasus was allowed into Olympus because he was the main source of Bellerophon's greatness. He wouldn't have been able to do many of those feats without pegasus, even as a great warrior.
The version of the chimera fight I heard was that Bellerophon made a spear of lead, and when he threw it, the chimera instinctively breathed fire on it, causing it to drink molten lead, which burned through its stomach, killing it.
It gets really funny when you realise that Bellerophon was the secret son of Poseidon, and Pegasus was the son of Medusa and Poseidon, hence he was technically riding his brother😂
@@trla6505 no, it was even in Hesiod Theogony, in there it says something like this "Poseidon meet Medusa with love in a meadow of flowers". The romans (the poet Ovid) changed the history to make Medusa being forced by Poseidon, but the greeks belived that Medusa was always a monster (daughter of the sea gods Phorcis and Keto), and she laid with Poseidon with consentment, thus leading to Pegasus and Crisaor when she was killed.
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7, now how do we distinguish these people? Matthew 7:19-20 Jesus says Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. God bless.😊😊
Nah I feel like he did Pegasus a favor, that guy felt entitled but you don’t just fly up to the gods and demand a spot in their realm because you did some regular people stuff. He only killed one monster most demigods slay dozens.
Definitely, overly sarcastic productions is best for this! If you're just starting out for Greek mythology, watch their video about Hedios' Theogeny and then you can practically watch any of the other miscellaneous myths videos. Have fun!:)
There are many stories in Greek myth about mortals who fail in their endeavor to reach the gods. Bellerophon, Icarus, Phaeton. I see it as a metaphor about individuals who their reach exceeds their grasp. In my view, their failure isn't a bad thing, what matters is daring greatly. The American classicist and teacher Edith Hamilton offered this as Phaeton’s epitaph: Here Phaeton lies who in the sun-god’s chariot fared. And though greatly he failed, more greatly he dared.
People often forget that Athena is also the goddess of war, however she’s different from Ares as she represents the better sides of war like tactics and such while Ares represents the horrible things
Hey TedEd, again I want to suggest a myth from my country, its a myth about Badang, the strong man in southeast asia. I hope you guys can tell the story to us all. Also, as always thank you for sharing these myths with us
Welp I had no idea Pegasus came from Medusa’s severed neck in Greek mythology. That’s an interesting component of the story. Great video and animation!
0:27 ah yes. Children springing from someone's neck. Greek mythology always amuses me with stuff like this. It's so much more inventive than a stork xD
@@daforkgaming3320 I’m not sure, but I think some king pissed Zeus? Or some god off, so said god made his wife (the queen) fall in love with a bull then Minotaur was born
A month and a half ago I visited the "tomb of Bellerophon", in Tlos, modern Turkey (Is a Lycian tomb/temple) An amazing place few people visit, by the way!
Amazing illustration and fantastic narration. I also heard an alternate story in which Bellerophon was brothers with Pegasus (or half brothers. Poseidon was the father for both), and they had an unbreakable bond of kinship. Philia. Bellerophon was still a tale of Hubris in the end, with the same fate, but originally, in this telling, he really started off as just a cool dude.
I'd love if you guys made videos about the Yoruba mythology, it's really interesting and rich. I once read a book about it (more specifically, about candomblé mythology, candomblé being a brazilian religion with strong african/yoruba roots) and the tales I read were really funny, creative and different from what we're used to. I'm an atheist, but I hold a deep respect for this religion.
The most funniest part is how thr narrator disrespect Bellerophon at the end 😂 "Bellerophon defeats Chimera? _Sure,_ but Heracles beat Hydra for his Labors." As if Zeus' take Pegasus instead of Bellerophon is not enough to salt his wound 😂
You know, Zeus could have handled better Bellerophon's attempt to reach Olympus, for example he could have just said him no or sabotage his attempts without killing him.
Except hubris was considered like THE worst sin in Ancient Greece. It's more than just having excessive pride; it's pride to the degree of opposition of divine will. Also, the earliest sources say he survived the fall, but he was either blinded or crippled and lived out the rest of his life forsaken by men and gods alike.
or have him do some missions without pegasus. He trained lots, went to countless battles, so I assume it's likely he really was as powerful in combat as your classic greek hero even on foot.
Zeus might have even let him come to Mount Olympus if he was only there to visit (he's done it before - tantalus and a few others) but because Bellerophon considered himself to be equal to the gods it was an insult and he had to be punished
@@CadanL Well, mortals aren't normally allowed on Mount Olypus. Tantalus was one of Zeus' sons, and a well liked one among the Olympians at that; that is, until he had the bright idea to invite them to dinner at his place and serve up his son, Pelops, as din-din.

You should also recommend writer Lauren J. A. Bear's debut novel, Medusa's Sisters.
Never forget, folks, that someday, 2000 years from now, humans will read and scoff at our god(s) of today in the same way we do when hearing these ancient Greek myths! 😄
OKAY, okay, GLARING OUT OF ORDER EVENTS HERE! Bellerophon didn't tame Pegasus until AFTER Iobates sent him to kill the Chimera! He met a seer on his way who told him he'd need Pegasus to defeat the creature and that he'd need Athena's help. He directed Bellerophon to Athena' temple where she gave him the bridle. THEN he Tamed Pegasus and fought the Chimera. Also, Bellerophon didn't ASPIRE to be a god until after his many victories and fame fed his arrogance.

was I the only one feeling shocked at that STRONG start to the video? chops medusa's head and two children come out of her neck!? not even literal children but a giant and a winged horse...!?
My design for the chimera is it having the head and body of a giant lioness covered in reptilian scales instead of fur, the horns and back legs of an ibex, the hood of a cobra, the tail of a rattlesnake, and a venomous stinger at the end of that said tail. Its roar is like a cross between a lion’s roar and a goat’s scream, and it has a forked tongue used for smell.
So the flying horse just dropped him off and didn't bother trying to rescue him as he was falling? Then just kept going up and abandoning the guy forever?
There's a goddess of wisdom, but most of the gods regularly acted as foolishly as mortals. The great heroes were usually just guys with wisdom or sense (aside from the demi gods).
@@pandoratheclay That was Minerva in Ovid's version. Ovid was bitter toward the Roman government for exiling him, thus painted Minerva in a bad light. He even went out of his way to reinvent Medusa's origin story just to make Minerva look bad!

I am in awe of how Greeks made up a story to explain a constellation with so many twists and turns.
me waiting for my phone to charge
it’s probably because most of the constellations the Greeks had stories about were made up by the Babylonians and brought over through trade.
I'm more in awe how they managed to see a freaking horse in the sky

Pegasus was allowed into Olympus because he was the main source of Bellerophon's greatness. He wouldn't have been able to do many of those feats without pegasus, even as a great warrior.
Pegasus is literally Bellerophon's 99% power.
@@dangle3392 has a short cool down too...
Without Bellerophon, Pegasus wouldn't have done any of these things. Zeus just loves to mess with everything, often out of spite.
Also, Pegasus was the child of Poseidon, so he could be allowed entry to Olympus by right of his divine blood.
@@Bruced82 It doesn't matter, the fact is Pegasus did most of the work, so he was the one that was rewarded and not Bellerophon.
Imagine one night, a Greek person looked up at the stars and said "you know what, those stars look like a horse to me". And thus, a story was created.
Person who created the Capricornus constellation: g o a t

The Greeks did not create constellations, lol the constellations were named way before the Greeks.... 😅😅😅

If this was an RPG game it would have recovered 100% of the damage dealt.

I heard that he lodged it into its mouth and when it breathed fire, it melted to its mouth
Yeah, that's a much cooler version. Of course, I'm sure this story was also much longer than 5 min 40. lol

@@conejitorosada2326 that’s a good way to put it

Athens also wrote Ares worse because Athena is their patron city god. So most stuff from Athens is biased.

Did you guys intentionally animate Pegasus to look similar to the Disney version or was that a happy accident? Either way it still looks good 👍

I am pretty sure he went to Elysium though which where all heroes went. So he wasn't completely shunned.
1:19 Greek temples never had odd number of columns.
Fun fact , the name bellaraphon , means killer of Bellos , this is because he accidentally killed a guy called bellos when he was younger .
