Nerites, probably: “if I had a nickel for every time i was turned into a shrimp by a god while in a romantic relationship, I’d have ten cents. That isn’t a lot of money, but it’s still really weird that it happened twice.”
Mermaids are Celtic not Greek. And the kraken is Scandinavian not Greek. (This part isn’t related to mermaid thing it just bothers me that the sea monster in Clash of The Titans is called a kraken. That stupid thing is no kraken.)

My son's middle name is Anteros. But... sadly, it's not about consent so much as he punished people who were dicks to those who confessed to them. So... if someone tells you they love you, don't tell them to go die in a fire: Anteros will come for you. Of course you can generally say "no". Just don't be awful about it.
Not to burst your bubble, but he was also the avenger of unrequited love. He would punish people who turned down love proposals. So yeah, basically an immortal 'nice guy'.
My take on the story is that the Poseidon version takes place after the Aphrodite version and that one day Helios just got bored and decided to give the couple a neat little throwback to how they first met. You know, just for funsies.
It reminds me of Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory when Willie Wonka says "everything in this room is edible, even I'm edible, but that my dear children is called cannibalism and is frowned upon"

I think of it as this Mad Lad dates Aphrodite, gets shrimpified, Poseidon turns him back, they fall in love instantly, long happy relationship, get shrimpified again, gets turned back and lives happily ever after
I like to think that whenever something happens between the gods that ends with firing towards the ocean, Poseidon just rushes to check on Nerites and make sure he hasn’t been turned into a shrimp again.
true , he literally just had two scandals in his immortal life: one is the case of Persephone , which in the ends works out by surprisingly falling on love with each other (like Beauty and the Best , I guess) and the other one is cheating Persephone only once. Meanwhile , Persephone only cheated Hades only once with Adonis. Asclepious case? Hades just ask Zeus for Asclepious to stop ressurecting people , while Zeus go on and kills Asclepious. Hercules? Hades just talks with Hercules , made a fun competion and later on gives him Cerberus , asking for him to return his dog. Orpheus? he was so moved from Orpheus' tragedy , that he goes against his job description and gives one chance for the hero to ressurect his beloved. Heck , in one version , his son Zagreus is killed by Hera , yet Hades helps Zeus to use Zagreus' heart to ressurect Dionysus (which was also killed)
@@madhatterman01 His little brothers, Zeus and Poseidon seemed to have an affair with a mortal every damn day. Hades was lonely, he kidnapped ONE goddess(who by all records actually didn't mind living in the underworld at all, neither did she mind being married to hades) and to my knowlege(thats misspelt aint it....) NEVER HAD AN AFFAIR AND IN FACT ONLY HAD ONE SON WHOM I'VE FORGOTTEN THE NAME with his wife might i add #Hades4headgod
I so love the Nerites myths. One thing missing is that Nerites' sisters the Nereid sometimes include Amphitrite, best known as Poseidon's consort. That's right, Poseidon's boyfriend and wife were brother and sister.
So basically: 1. Fish dude doesn’t want to go to surface. (Gets turned into shrimp) (Then turns back) 2. Fish dude hangs out with aqua dude. (Gets turned into a shrimp) (Then turns back) Wow... what a life
"Aqua Dude" is now what I shall call Aqua Man. I'm going to have to cultivate an interest in comic books and/or the relevant cinematic universe to be able to use this, but it'll be worth it.
Aphrodite: "Nerites, the hapless romances of landwellers must be fixed. Come now, let us be off to the lands of mortals!"

I REALLY NEED TO LET OFF SOME STEAM! ILL JUST TURN SOMEONE INTO A SHRIMP! [Nerites] *gets turned into a shrimp* aw man not again
Aphrodite loses her hairbrush? Nerites gets turned into a shrimp. Athena can't even with Aphrodite right now? Nerites gets turned into a shrimp. Zeus gets Hera mad? Nerites gets turned into a shrimp. Apollo gets bored? Nerites gets turned into a shrimp. Nemesis thinks she's important and gets super mad when she isn't acknowledged? Nerites gets turned into a shrimp. Hades has an angst fit? Nerites gets turned into a shrimp. I could go on like this for forever.
I disagree only with the Hades one. He's too nice. However, I can see this... Hades: "Ugh, what a day. Been super-busy lately, and Thanatos is busy too and can't hang out, and Persephone's with her mom this month. I'm just so down right now." Nerites: "Try turning me into a shrimp. It'll make you feel better." Hades: "How would that make me feel better?" Nerites: "Dunno, but literally *everyone else* does it when they're having a bad day and it seems to help." Hades: "You sure?" Nerites: "Yeah, my sister has Poseidon on speed dial and everything. Hit me." Hades: "Okay." *KA-SHRIMP!* "Heh! Okay, you were right. That's pretty funny." Nerites: *bubble* Hades: "Thanks, kid, you've been really helpful. Neria! Need you to come get your brother un-shrimped again!"
Really subtle detail I love: At the intro to Aphrodite's part of the story, it opens with "BABYYYY I--" and gets cut off, only to resume at the correct part of the song with the piano version.
*Greeks* : Poseidon was one of the three brothers that ruled over the domains. He ruled the sea, controlling tides, earthquakes, and Tsunamis. He was one of the most powerful dieties we have. *Disney, making **_Hercules_* : yea, so here's what we got.. unimportant fish man.
@@alyssaburda2090 yeah, I should have added that. Honestly everyone in the underworld is good. Thanatos is just trying to do his job, Hades is as well, Persephone only killed Minthe because Minthe was a bitch. That said, she only resides there for like, 4 months out of the year so that might not count.
[God of your pick here]: I’m having an off day today *prepares the shrimp laser* Nerites, being turned into a Shrimp again; Ah shoot, here we go again.
@@timothymclean Aquaman's powers are super useful. Breathing underwater, super strength, being able to summon great white sharks and giant squids to attack your enemies, having a trident that shoots fucking lasers.
@@HunterStiles651 Aside from super strength and the trident (which arguably isn't a superpower, and definitely isn't something I knew he had), those are stupidly situational. "Oh no, Boomerang is robbing the bank! If only there was some water I could breathe or a giant squid I could ask to attack him!"
@@timothymclean Sure, it would be situational if he were an ordinary super hero, but he's not. He spends the majority of his time underwater, being the King of Atlantis and all. If the baddie you need trashing is on land, then yeah call Superman or the Martian Manhunter. But if he's anywhere near the ocean then Aquaman is almost as good.
Poseidon and Nerites: *Being in love* Amphitrite: *Walking up the steps of the sea palace* Honey, is that sweet little boy over again? Poseidon and Nerites: *Panic and start reading magazines* Poseidon: YEAH HONEY!
Actually, iirc, Amphitrite and Poseidon basically had an open marriage. Amphitrite didn't associate sex alone with love, so unlike Hera and Persephone, she didn't go crazy when Poseidon went out and slept with other people.
Red: "In the Ancient Greek world this is a thing called pederasty, which men would have sexual relationships with adolescent boys in an alleged effort to teach them how to be men." Me: ... but isn't that just- Red: "Which in the modern world is known as pedophilia"
Though in some versions they're helpful or morally ambiguous. Like in some versions Athena turned Medusa into a Gorgon to protect her so no one, like possiden, would rape her. But then helps Perseus on his quest to kill Medusa, who's living with her 2 sisters on a rock at the edge of the world minding her own business...
@@leventemucsi9547 The Lord of the Dead/provider of plantlife nutrients and the goddess of Hearth/the hostess goddess? The two beings who absolutely no one ever wants to piss of? To the point where those who dishonor Hestia are considered savages and the human Greeks even refuse to mention Hades' name for fear of incurring his attention? Thankfully they're the only reasonable gods, so you don't have to worry about incurring their wrath for petty reasons, besides doing something to spit in their face.
@Young Man As with most Greek Myths, it depends on the author. Hades is a big victim of this, with him either being a kidnapper, an honorable man who obeyed the marriage customs, or an enamored host that Persephone wandered into.
I love the subtle application of modern songs to these ancient myths. Gods are so often spoken of with such reverence and vague mystery that it's hard to see them as having personality and I think the songs really fix that problem.
I actually feel the opposite of the Greek gods. They have so much personality and such easy to see faults, that I actually have a hard time seeing them as being seriously worshiped.
@TheAwakeOrangutang Well, if you believed they existed as the ancient Greeks did, it actually makes a lot of sense. The Greek gods had emotions, they could grieve, feel anger, play favorites, etc. so if you decided to oppose them, you would probably die a horrible, horrible death. If a god liked you, on the other hand, they would often give you things.

**Nerites snaps his big claw, causing a fish nearby to explode. This gives Nerites a wonderfully devilish idea. Conveniently, at that moment Aphrodite is flying overhead**

**Nerites snaps his claw, the shockwave smacks Aphrodite directly in the face, causing her to fly off like a Smash Bros character**

I think of it as this Mad Lad dates Aphrodite, gets shrimpified, Poseidon turns him back, they fall in love instantly, long happy relationship, get shrimpified again, gets turned back and lives happily ever after
"Shrimpefied" is now a legit word, change my mind
I like to think that whenever something happens between the gods that ends with firing towards the ocean, Poseidon just rushes to check on Nerites and make sure he hasn’t been turned into a shrimp again.
"Don't get comfortable"
Me: But I already got my blanket and popcorn.
Hades is the only reasonable one
He may be ruler of the Underworld, but at least he’s a reasonable guy and husband. Mostly.
Well, he did kind of kidnap Persephone
*ALLEGEDLY*
MadHatterMan yeah but Zeus told him too... so it makes it better?
true , he literally just had two scandals in his immortal life:
one is the case of Persephone , which in the ends works out by surprisingly falling on love with each other (like Beauty and the Best , I guess)
and the other one is cheating Persephone only once.
Meanwhile , Persephone only cheated Hades only once with Adonis.
Asclepious case? Hades just ask Zeus for Asclepious to stop ressurecting people , while Zeus go on and kills Asclepious. Hercules? Hades just talks with Hercules , made a fun competion and later on gives him Cerberus , asking for him to return his dog. Orpheus? he was so moved from Orpheus' tragedy , that he goes against his job description and gives one chance for the hero to ressurect his beloved.
Heck , in one version , his son Zagreus is killed by Hera , yet Hades helps Zeus to use Zagreus' heart to ressurect Dionysus (which was also killed)
@@madhatterman01 His little brothers, Zeus and Poseidon seemed to have an affair with a mortal every damn day. Hades was lonely, he kidnapped ONE goddess(who by all records actually didn't mind living in the underworld at all, neither did she mind being married to hades) and to my knowlege(thats misspelt aint it....) NEVER HAD AN AFFAIR AND IN FACT ONLY HAD ONE SON WHOM I'VE FORGOTTEN THE NAME with his wife might i add

I so love the Nerites myths. One thing missing is that Nerites' sisters the Nereid sometimes include Amphitrite, best known as Poseidon's consort. That's right, Poseidon's boyfriend and wife were brother and sister.
given that it was ancient Greece, threesomes most likely followed
that is what we call a 'yikes', marrying the older sister and then dating the (way) younger brother? posideon is still trash i see

Thankfully they're the only reasonable gods, so you don't have to worry about incurring their wrath for petty reasons, besides doing something to spit in their face.
@Young Man As with most Greek Myths, it depends on the author. Hades is a big victim of this, with him either being a kidnapper, an honorable man who obeyed the marriage customs, or an enamored host that Persephone wandered into.

@@raspberrycrowns9494 Actually, tbh, I think this myth is part of why that happened XD
I love the subtle application of modern songs to these ancient myths. Gods are so often spoken of with such reverence and vague mystery that it's hard to see them as having personality and I think the songs really fix that problem.
I actually feel the opposite of the Greek gods. They have so much personality and such easy to see faults, that I actually have a hard time seeing them as being seriously worshiped.
@TheAwakeOrangutang Well, if you believed they existed as the ancient Greeks did, it actually makes a lot of sense. The Greek gods had emotions, they could grieve, feel anger, play favorites, etc. so if you decided to oppose them, you would probably die a horrible, horrible death. If a god liked you, on the other hand, they would often give you things.
Nerites: personification of the existential question "would you still love me if I was a bug?"

I really like that you use the same song whenever you’re talking about Aphrodite
