Because you get to meet real people ( Greek speaking, Greek heritage) and see and hear their reactions, sometimes quite hilarious 😂, in real Greek, comfortably paced and not the language of the Tourist.

Nice episode. I would enjoy a video about the longest greek words like for example in this video I found apomagnitofonisis 😅 greek sometimes has realllly long words.

Dionysus was not a member of the pantheon. However after his religion was restored by Queen Thessaloniki he was one of the most worshipped gods. Dimitra (Demeter) was not the most boring of the gods at least for the ancients as because of her sadness for her daughter Persephone, the weather was changing and winter was coming. Also she was the one who killed the powerful Titan Athos (according to the myth in the place where the mountain Athos is in Greece) in the war between the Gods and the Titans. Εστία Hestia was greatly worshipped. There was not a single house in ancient Greece without an icon of the goddess of the family and housing.

I wouldn't say they're more popular with non-natives than with natives. With Greeks, you sort of expect everyone to know everything about Greek mythology, whereas with non-natives it's mostly people who're really into history/mythology who have deep knowledge about it and know more than just the basics. I'd say, as a whole, a bigger percentage of Greeks are knowledgeable in Greek mythology than non-natives, but because there's the expectation that all Greeks should be experts in it (which just isn't true and would be impossible to be true), the false impression is given that there's not much interest in Greek mythology here.

@@skyline3230 there are a lot of greek gods, but the question was only about the 12 they used to live in the mount Olympus. Hades used to live in the underground, so he is not included
I have no idea what they were naming??? What is a Greek God? I have heard of Aphrodite but I thought that she was a very beautiful woman. And I thought Poseidon is what you call the planet Neptune in Greek. It would have been good if you could have explained a bit about what a Greek God is supposed to be. I am an Atheist so I don't believe in God, but are these "Gods" meant to be people who existed or imaginary fairies who had powers like "God"???
For the Ancient Greeks, they did exist. They were immortals with supernatural powers, if you want to put it like that. They weren't purely immaterial as the monotheistic God is supposed to be. But they weren't people, either. For example, Aphrodite wasn't a very beautiful woman, she was the personification of beauty and love. Poseidon was the personification of water and the sea. So, if there was a storm, Poseidon must have been angry that day. Very roughly.
Thank you for your reply but I still don't understand what anyone thinks of when they talk about a Greek God or maybe its like the Christian God... Noone really knows what they mean, everyone imagines something different... A man in the sky, a fairy, Jesus, a white cloud.... Maybe it's the same with the Greek Gods... But I just can't understand what the people in this video were naming???

What I find interesting is the way you can reverse a sentence in Greek and it is still grammatical. Maybe you could do a video on this topic.
Because of declensions like German?

Which of these two should be included in the Olympians: Estia or Dionysos?
Hestia, I believe Dionysos was the God of Alcohol/wine.
Unfortunately it looks as if modern society is moving towards the values of Dionysus rather than those of Hestia. A pity ...
Both
Depending on the myth/list you look at, it's either one or the other but either of them should count when listing the Olympians, I think .
