      Dude, don't take better help sponsorships if you read the fine print they admit they they do not check any of their "therapist" for actual licenses and that you can't sue them if you get a fake therapist that diagnoses you and ruins your life due to the medication they recommended hurting you.

      @@Dice_roller Intelligence doesn't mean you can remember the name of hundreds of spawnlings. You can be smart and still be bad with names, especially if you're dealing with hundreds of different people. I speak as someone with an IQ of 139, that took 6 months to learn the name of the guy who sat next to me in a club that only had 5 other members and still doesn't know the names of half the names of the people in the club I manage now even though it's only 12 people.
      Also, considering Zeus's track record for doing spectacularly dumb things on a regular basis, I question Hesiodos' sincerity on the subject. I'd be inclined to give the title of smartest god in the Greek pantheon to a more rational diety like Athena or Prometheus. And again, even if he really is the smartest, it's not like he's the god of memory, so expecting to remember the names of his hundreds of kids is asking a bit much of him I think.

      @user-tw3rh9po4t Месяц назад +14

      I’ve mentioned it once before, but if they somehow wanted to make the usage of Hercules somehow accurate to mythology, they would’ve made it so that Hercules kept it because of his trauma from Hera and refusing to be named “Glory of Hera”, since that didn’t exactly save him from her wraith. Then again, he didn’t decide on the name of Heracles in the first place.
      It would be inaccurate in name, but much more accurate than Hades being a main villain. Hades is far from a nice guy, but there are better candidates for main villains from Greek Mythology.

    My best guess for why the Roman name for Heracles is more commonly used is because Hollywood made it the more popular version with the earlier movies and then Disney established it in everyone's mind as his one true name. The only time I had even heard of the name Heracles in media was in the movie the Spirit. For whatever reason most people connect more with his Roman name. It might have something to do with the rise of Roman Catholicism over the centuries. Which could also explain why they blend Christian mythology in with Greek lore.

      @@cartooncritique6625 That makes me wonder if it really is Catholics doing that to appease the Western viewers. Because a lot the times even Hades is likened to the Devil and the Underworld to Hell. Despite the fact that in Greek myth everyone goes to the underworld. How you are treated in the Underworld depends on how you lived on Earth and if you feel guilty for the sins you committed.

      Not only that, but there is no story with Apollo riding the sun chariot while doing other stuff. During the day he is always on Earth doing stuff, for example in the Iliad he was a active participant of the trojan war, while Helios pulled the chariot. The same goes for the Odyssey and this is in the very end of greek mythology. So Apollo never took the sun chariot since Helios is the sun god during the last stories of greek myth.

    I do think its important to point out that it makes sense for some characters to have similar names to other greek mythological characters, realistically you can't expect a single person to have their own name exist in a vacuum because people historically and presently share similar or the same names. Also I do think it makes sense to have some abrahamic influence on the show, mainly because Abrahamic religions were heavily influenced by Hellenistic religions and borrowed allegories and concepts from Classical Hellenistic philosophy.
    And the Greeks did a similar thing by linking older deities with newer ones, like making Pan the son of Hermes even though Hermes was likely an offshoot of Pan who eventually became his own deity. So I kind of like seeing it a lot.

    Love your videos but your sponsor is, or was, in hot water. Apparently they had regular people- unlicensed people practicing on customers when they had NO Training and NO BACKGROUND in therapy. Some of the reports claim that the "therapist" had other people in the room listening to the session, eating while in session (a whole meal), leaving mid session only to come back at the end of session and end the call, etc. It's along the same lines as the "become a laird" by buying this square foot of land-sponsorship. Anyways, all the best.

    "What demonic cult leader would have an angelic name"
    You mean like...LUCIFER?
    Kidding, love your videos btw, I just thought this sentence would be a funny answer.

      Even though Lúcifer/Heosphoros _(Ἑωσφόρος)_ is a title of Iesous and not an evil demonic force like ʿĂzāʾzēl for instance.

      Not in this season, but judging from the teaser for Season 2 both him AND Persephone are going to be the villains of Season 2.

      @@cartooncritique6625 According to the writers there maybe 5 seasons, I wish I was making that up.
      Fun Fact: Hades will be voiced by Fred Tatasciore, who played Beast in Wolverine and the X-men.
