Um, Zeus grandfather did the same shit to. It is a common theme in Greek mythology that the son will kill the father. One just as common is your wife will betray you for your son. Gaia betrayed her husband, Uranus to save her children the titans. Chrono the leader of the titan was betrayed by his wife Rhea to save her children. So when it came to the third generation... Zeus killed his wife with the kids to stop the cycle.
@@nisteven You'd think the gods would stop trying to kill their kids everytime one is destined to overthrow them..... but no, they just end up giving the kids an excuse to overthrow them
He didn’t have all the information. Sometimes when trying to prevent an event, you end up causing it to happen. If he knew she was pregnant, would he have simply squished her instead…?
what if Metis is secretly forcing Zeus to sleep with other women to make Hera leave him to have him back or possibly get revenge. that's just a theory....a conspiracy theory!
How was Annabeth born? Athena is a virgin and has never fvck anybody, unless Athena just *magically makes a child* Athena: your my child now :D Annabeth: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU
@@Idk_lamoooo I think she's born from Athena and the other parent's brain. They're basically their brain child. Athena made Annabeth from her own brain power ig
Zeus: I will turn her into a fly Me: Yeah good, turn her into a fly and squash her Zeus: And I will eat her! Me: Wait, what? Seriously, why wouldn't you squash a fly and instead eat it?🤣
Because Zeus was actually dependent on his wife’s wisdom. This way he could steal her knowledge and power. Before he ate her he was the typical crass and horny Zeus, after he was much more cunning and wiser.
To be fair the original may as well be lost to time as in the early days of Greek myth all stories weren’t written down, they were remembered. It wasn’t until far later that myths began to be written down and by that time gods and stories could have been vastly different than what was originally spoken while only retaining key elements.
The interpretation that she was born from Zeus's mind like a thought instead of having a mother is hard to believe cuz we haven't had any other cases where gods were being created without mating (aside from Gaya, Nyx and Hera and possibly other examples i forgot to mention)
He had her turn into a drop of water by telling her he wanted to experiance her power and he drank her in which gave him the power of knowledge and Transfiguration
Greek mythology is a lot of “look here this shit ain’t going to make a burp of sense sober so get high on shrooms or drunk on moonshine and mead I got a story to tell that you can’t ask specifics about”
See now Athena’s birth is by the most astounding, creepy, and terrifying births ever (and the reason why I love Greek mythology so much). I like it strangely…being born from the head of the King of the Greek Gods.
This is sort of unrelated but I'll never get over the fact the Athena is literally a god of war strategies but the romans, who were war based, got rid of that aspect of her 💀
Fun fact: Kratos is actually inspired by Cratus, who is the god of strength. So technically this joke is actually invalid, but I commend you nonetheless.
The artwork depicting Athena bursting out of Zeus's shows red blood bleeding from the god. In greek mythology, the gods and other deities actually have golden ichor coursing through their veins
The prophecy also did not say that his son was going to destroy Zeus, perhaps he would have only taken the throne but he would have spared his father's life. We'll never know for sure
Athena actually was born out of his head i researched for abt 10 mins reading how she was born yes he was the first guy to get pregnant and than Athena never had a true love.. But she had many brothers and Athena then became the Goddess of Wisdom and war and then she killed Medusa bc of her evilness and Zeus rode unicorns but also killed them he taught Athena how to ride too
I actually have the book with the depiction of Athena springing out of Zeus' head, where it looks like he's pulling his hair out. Interesting stuff. That book actually says he had her transform into a mosquito, not a fly, but it just had to be a creature small enough for Metis to be swallowed up, so either one works.
There's a major incoherence in this : Hephaestus. He is supposed to have been born by Hera who had grown tired of Zeus' infidelities and conceived him to spite him alone. Since Metis was Zeus' wife then, Hephaestus couldn't have been conceived. There's a major timeline issue here that always bothered me.
Well, Greek Mythos are anything but consistent. In some accounts it's Hephaestus who open the skull in some it's Prometheus. Prometheus made more sense as Athena was born just few months after Olympians victory in Titanomachy and at that time Prometheus and Epimetheus were trusted Advisors of Zeus until Prometheus betrayed Zeus by stealing fire from Olympus and giving it to mankind. Hephaestus was likely Zeus and Hera's first born or just Hera's alone depending on myth.
I don't think there's a timeline issue. Zeus ate a pregnant Metis and she gave birth inside of Zeus. Since Athena sprung out of Zeus full grown, that would mean that she grew up inside of Zeus. Meanwhile, Zeus married Hera, had his affairs and Hera had Haephastus, who would eventually release Athena
Maybe when they said Athena sprang from Zeus's brow, it was originally meant metaphorically, like saying the nut doesn't fall far from the tree. Athena, "sprang from Zeus's brow" meaning, she was just like him
I remember my mom told me this movie existed after i first read the book series which i LOVED and i was so excited to watch it with her. It was very... oh! I watched the others with her cause she really liked them and wanted to spend time with me but i hate them so much
This is actually slightly backwards; Athena was actually created before Hephaestus. In fact it's because she was created, that Hera got jealous, thinking Zeus had created the child on his own. Because of that jealousy she created Hephaestus on her own. But when it turned out that he was deformed, she threw him out of Olympus. It's because he grew up in solitude that he decided to start forging items.
Not necessarily, probably used resources from zeus body to make it...probably why he had a headache she was banging away making things in his head...he was probably low on iron and zinc...lolz...maybe he even developed a pica habit to supply her with materials...😅
Seems like a family guy skit. "Ah, I got this wicked headache, Hephestus. This hurts more than the child support bills I have to send." "Have you tried this method I saw on RUclips kids? It involves an axe." *Crack* "Hey, guys. I'm Athena." "Was my headache from you, your spear, your armor or all of it?"
Doctor my head seems to hurt quite frequently it is bothering me The doctor: ah yes of course please please lie down ill be right back *comes back in with a giant axe*
Not only that guys Athena was known to be the only one with the balls to fight against Atlantis remember folks Poseidon was nothing but Lucifer trying to take over the whole world from Atlantis that's all it was shout shout outs to Athena for having some cohenas
Actually Zeus got a prophecy from Gaia and Uranus that he'd have a son that would over power him and become king of the gods. if he had a child with thetis then that would be Achilles. So he didn't want that to happen so he absorbed Metis, Metis was already pregnant when this happened. Then 9 months later Zeus got a spitting headache, he banged his head against a table and cracked his head open. Athena came from his head fully grown and wearing battle armor. In some myths it says that hephastus, the God of metal work, cracked zues's head open but hephastus is a son of Zeus, his mother is hera, Athena was the first child of Zeus and hephastus wasn't born yet. After that Zeus married hera and had ares and hephastus.
You forgot that Prometheus cracked open Zeus' head and took her with him to teach her. Also you forgot that Metis was kidnapped and raped as per Zeus usual tactics.
The Gods were dumb af, the whole reason everything thing goes sideways is because they always try to to stop the prophecy, but in trying to stop it they always start it.
I don't know where i heard this one, but the other version, as you said, Zeus birthed Athena on his own and in a fit of jealousy, Hera tried to do the same and birthed Hephaestus.
So Zeus's dad tried to eat him so he wouldn't be over turned and then the same prophecy happened to him, interesting
Um, Zeus grandfather did the same shit to. It is a common theme in Greek mythology that the son will kill the father.

Yeah but was pregnant from his head😂😂
Also that other time, when he stuffed Baby Dionysos into his leg after accidentally vaporizing the mother
Calm down 😂😂
@@_jpg why did I laugh-
Actually loki got pregnant too
Metis actually diliberately let zeus eat her so she could control his mind in certain situations as well… actually she outsmarted zeus in this case
so Hera would try to harm or kill the women the Zeus sleeps with and the offspring?
She outsmarted him outsmarting
Mind blown, I didnt know that
So your Telling me...Metis is controlling who Zeus fucks meaning...Metis a lesbian?-/j
what if Metis is secretly forcing Zeus to sleep with other women to make Hera leave him to have him back or possibly get revenge. that's just a theory....a conspiracy theory!

When he said Zeus ate the pregnant fly, I think Zeus will have a lump in his stomach.
Those Stories are Amazing.
Greek mythology is a lot of “look here this shit ain’t going to make a burp of sense sober so get high on shrooms or drunk on moonshine and mead I got a story to tell that you can’t ask specifics about”
Well it was thousands of years ago so
I love Greek mythology
That picture that shows Athena coming out of Zeus' head with Hephastus' name comes from one of my favorite and most prized books.
The image of “Metis” is actually of Hera, specifically from the Percy Jackson official art I believe
You would be correct & that was actually my exact line when i saw too 😂

So very Amazing.
So basically athena is a headache
Ever since I took a deep dive into Greek mythology I find it so pleasurable when Zeus get owned by all his stupid decisions.
I agree
My friend told me about this, and I was just like: Damn that's crazy.
So... Zeus was a unicorn but his unicorn horn was a person that was his child?
I swear zeus did some very messed up stuff a long time ago and alot of people are talking about it

I never knew this, and i wished it stayed that way.

But I thought the prophecy was that if it was a daughter he would be fine but if it was a son he would be deposed and so Zeus didn’t wanna risk it.
