    Hey guys, I wanna apologize for making y’all wait so long for a video that ended up getting cut in half. I’ve been in somewhat of a creative funk for the past month or so. Before continuing the story of Theseus, There’s another more one-off project I’ve been itching to get started on. I think that’ll be the breath of fresh air I need right now.
    I’ve also been woefully neglectful of my extremely generous supporters on Patreon. No excuses for that, but I hope to be better at sharing behind-the-scenes progress for this next video.
    I know that after saying all this, most of you will leave very gracious and supportive comments and tell me not to worry. Which is super appreciated! I just needed to get it off my chest.

    In the version I've always heard, Dionysus didn't take Ariadne before they left Crete. Instead, Theseus abandoned her on an island on the trip back to Athens and Dionysus (weird choice of gods) saved her...

    • @birdmcturd1626

      ​@@birdmcturd1626 Ignoring the fact that Dionysus doesn't seem to really have spent any actual time as a mortal, being a mortal hardly makes one more empathetic than a god.
      Usually it makes them the exact opposite. After all, the greeks didn't worship the gods because they thought they were unempathetic.

      If you read the text in the video, it mentions that it happened on Naxos. Not sure how Jake missed that. I assume that he might have thought Naxos was on Crete, and not its own separate island?

    • @serafin_795
      @serafin_795 6 месяцев назад +18

      Yeah, I heard it too. Which makes me think that Theseus never loved her, he used her for his convenience and as soon as he could, he got rid of her. Which is extremely cruel and selfish, but in retrospect, this hero has a pretty big dark side, even having no problem kidnapping girls or descending into the Underworld to try to kidnap Persephone, a married goddess and make her his friend's wife.

    • @MermaidMusings7
      @MermaidMusings7 4 месяца назад +2

      There are multiple versions of the Dionysus/Ariadne myth, which can be confusing. In the Orphic religion, Zagreus/Dionysus is the son of Persephone and Zeus. In 'classical' mythology, he is the son of Zeus and Semele. Every myth that we know of has multiple versions, and it depends on which version you choose to believe.

    Both Medea and Pasephae mother of ariadne and Minotaur are Colchian (modern Georgia) royals, medea is the daughter of King Aeetes of colchis, Pasephae and Circe his sisters.
    In Greek mythology they are children of Helios the sun titan, but in Georgian Paganism sun is a female godess Barbale and her Priestesses were magic healers who practiced witchcraft. So Greeks interpreted our sun Priestesses as witch daughters of Helios and Hecate.
    Greek mythology is wide and includes a lot of other cultures but with their interpretations.

      🤭 🤭 You've probably heard that she was so beautiful Aphrodite visited a curse upon her, that one half of her is horridly burned, yes? Yeah, Mesperyian is not an actual ancient Greek deity, she was honest-to-God made up by this one girl years ago, around 2007, as part of a high school writing project of hers.

    Huh, every version I've heard had Theseus abandon Ariadne and Dionysus took pity on her and carried her away.

    • @Troublethecat
      @Troublethecat 7 часов назад

      Yeah, that's the older version of the myth. There is a version where Dionysus commands Thesus to leave her behind so he can have her, though. That came from the Athenians because he's their favorite hero and so they wanted to make him look like less of a jerk.

    Last time On Greek Mythology Z, a deadly Minotaur had the children of Athens in it's mighty clutches. And King Minos was seemingly untouchable on his throne. But, a mystery hero seems to be on his way! With the maze hiding the Minotaur, it'll take our hero all he's got! Can this new Hero stop the dastardly villian? And what greek myths may pop up also involving cattle in the meantime? Find out! Today!

    Is this a different Medea? I was under the impression the story of the golden fleece came after the story of the Minotaur since Theseus was either a member of the Argonauts or was in the underworld
