    Hey Jake. It's come to my attention that several people may have been correcting you on the Hydra heads thing because of a video I put up a while back called "Every Mythical Inaccuracy in Disney's Hercules". Honestly that turned out to be a mistake on my end because I was using an older version of the story as a source and didn't take into account that there is actually another Greek telling where it grows back 2.
    I apologize if this brought you any grief. On the upside, I'm very happy to have been directed to your channel because this video was extremely funny and well researched! Keep up the good work!

      Hey man, I appreciate your response!
      There was no grief at all, but it did capture my curiosity for a while! And I actually spent a few days trying to figure out where that version of the Hydra came from. Aaaaaand I may have just finished recording a whole video addressing it, which now I'll need to rework large portions of 🙃 But that's on me for not thinking to just contact you directly like this 😅
      What source claims the Hydra only regrows one head at a time? I actually couldn't find any.
      The oldest Greek source I found on the Hydra was Hesiod's Theogony, but he doesn't actually describe its appearance at all. And everyone after him seemed to present just slight variations on the same basic idea of a serpent that regrows 2 heads each.
      One notable exception was Pausanias, who believed that the "real" hydra was actually just a one-headed snake and the whole thing with multiple heads was an embellishment by poets. But as far as anyone can tell, this belief of his wasn't based on a surviving literary source.
      The only thing I could find with the Hydra you described was D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths. But that book doesn't have any citations, so I was left to assume it was just a creative liberty they took. 🤔

      @@JakeDoubleyoo D'aulaires Greek Myths is indeed one of my sources. But the other one is a bit different.
      See I read D'aulaires as a child and, as you know, it describes the Hydra as "no sooner had he knocked off one head than a new one grew in its place". That made me curious as a kid because I new of the multiple heads version from Disney.
      Some years later, I was in Europe visiting family and I got a chance to actually go to Greece and visit a large ruin/museum there. They had a gorgeous ancient ceiling artwork of the labors of Heracles and the museum label also said that the Hydra regrew 1 each. I asked the tour guide about it and she backed it up saying the 2 heads thing was a later addition.
      I wish I had a sample of the label for you but I couldn't find one anywhere. Unless I head back to Greece I'm afraid the trail stops here. Btw you have my full consent to quote me admitting my mistake in your video addressing it if you like.
      The amount of research you do is very admirable and I truly believe your content has potential to be the next Overly Sarcastic Productions

    You forgot one thing about the nemean lion, Heracles tried to skin it with his knife, but it didn’t work. He then tried sharpening the knife with a nearby rock before trying again with no success. Eventually he got so frustrated that he just started bashing it with the previously mentioned rock until Athena showed up and was like “Hey Heracles, maybe you should try to skin the lion with one of its claws instead of bashing it with a rock.” And to Heracles’ surprise (and later, his cousin’s horror), it actually worked.

      @sonofcronos7831 2 года назад

      There is no such thing as reliable. Mythology is fiction so anyone can come up with their own story. And Ovid cant be really ignored because he provide a lot of details that we still use in rettelings of the myth that the greeks did not provide, so there is no reason to not use him to get details. Altrough he like most romans have a more negative view of the gods than the greeks have so we need to have this in mind.

      Roman Mythology is just Greek mythology, literaly. The roman gods are a mixture of estrucan and latin gods (Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn), and just alternative names to some gods (like Hades is Aita), and some they dindt even bother (Apollo is still Apollo). And all backstories of this gods are the exact same as the greek ones. For example Mars was an agricultural and war god, Ares was the closest to him in Greece so the romans started to say that Ares is Mars, and they took all stories of Ares and also give it to Mars, the same applies to all other gods that already existed in Rome before the syncretism.
      Also they have the stories of Romulus and Remos, but that is it.

      Diodorus:

And when one head was cut off, the place where it was severed put forth two others: for this reason it was considered to be invincible"
      Pseudo-Apollodorus:
      "The hydra had a body of enormous size, and nine heads, of which eight were mortal, but the one in the centre immortal ... By striking the hydras heads off with his club, Heracles achieved nothing, for as soon as one was struck off, two grew up in its place"

    Heracles is the son of Zeus and Alcmene. Alcmene was born to Electryon, the son of Perseus and Andromeda. Perseus is also the son of Zeus. So Zeus not only father to Heracles, he is also his great - great - grandfather.

    Y'know, I'm a bit confused regarding Thespius and Diodorus Siculus' telling of Jason and the Argonauts. Diodorus says that the "Sons of Thespius" were counted among the Argonauts; did he mean THIS Thespius? He was only listed as having 50 daughters, of whom Heracles slept with one each night for 50 nights, no sons. Was Diodorus referring to the sons Heracles bore Thespius' daughters? If not, who was he referring to?

    • @thomasrinschler6783
      @thomasrinschler6783 Год назад

      Diodorus can be iffy in his chronology even during historical times, so he's definitely not going to be reliable in mythological periods.
