I’d like to think that Hades is just chillin in the underworld groaning as the roof of his house is shaking violently
Hades, angrily banging the ceiling with a broom handle. "Keep it down, you assholes! You're making enough noise to wake the dead!"
Yes he was, though this is described as "cowering".
I’m sure he was used to it after hearing Gaia and Tartarus’ baby-making
@@jlupus8804 Tartarus is partly his domain...you have to wonder how he dealt that 1/3 of his crib was responsible for the literally gigantic hot mess causing mayhem.

typhon: I LIKE SNAKE LADY
He has monster kids!
I wasn't expecting to share the same tastes as a greek kaiju, but here we are...
I did like how the part where he has tiny flowers for his snake wife
When you truly love someone, you don’t care what they’re like, even if they are a nymph snake thingy. From what another person said, Echidna and Typhon were happy, they had no fights and loved only themselves and their kids (which makes Typhon a THAD by staying loyal to his wife, and for being a good father to his spawn). I honestly think that between Persephone and Hades, and these two love beasts, that’s as healthy as god relationships get in Greek mythology. Unlike some gods who should KEEP THEIR LIL DEMIGODS IN THEIR TOGA, ZEUS!
Typhon: I like nice snek lady, and smull mes
Typhon: *crushed under mountain*
Sun Wukong: First time?
Sun Wukong: If I had a nickel for every time I got crushed under a mountain, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@Silverwind87 That still sounds like one more nickel than Typhon has.
@@Silverwind87 - Nerites-the-Shrimp: Welcome the “weird stuff happening twice” club, buddy. I don’t have any nickels, though... no pockets in a carapace.

@@eugeneimnotgonnatellyoumyl5513 - no, the universe was Buddha’s hand. The mountain was just a mountain.
I love the image of Typhon just delicately handing Echidna a bouquet, like he’s a world ending terror but he’s got class!
Mama Gaia raised a gentleman.
*"I'm not one of your Titan tramps! I'm a (snake) Woman! I like my Ancient Greek Kaiju dangerous. Monstrous! You want to by my lover?! Earn it! Seduce me!"*
'Least he had the decency to stick with a lady, better yet one he actually liked.
Maybe he's a monster, but mama gaia raised a gentleman with *class*
i mean he mainly opposed the gods who with like 2 exceptions were massive pricks, and he treats his lady nice, are we sure hes the baddy?

Gotta love the idea of Hephaestus hanging out in Mt Etna with Typhon under him, powering the forge
“Hey dude pick it up I need more fire for Achilles’ new duds”
“FUCK YOU I AM A DESTROYER OF WORLDS”
“Yeah that’s more like it, thanks Typhon”

"Ohh he probably tried to write it with mouth I need later thank Hades"
One of the cyclopses (cyclopsi?): Hey boss, we need more fire or we're not gonna finjsih the poject by the deadline

Actually..... you're right
Is that why they got Liam Neeson? Probably.
@@foundation2854 we would think too much of the planet imo, also zeus as a name is pretty cool. Something about the names of Greek gods and not their Roman counterparts tends to sound majestic in modern times... though it’s probably because scientists made latin their go-to for naming stuff.
Neptune still sounds pretty cool tho and we tend to hear references to him here and there, similar with Venus and but stuff like Mercury (outside of like brands), Mars (I literally only care about Mars rovers and the chocolate bar), Saturn (no offense who ever even talks about Saturn???), Uranus (outside of jokes), and Pluto (outside of being pissed over it being demoted to a dwarf planet) usually don’t have a lot of presence and badassery these days.

Ok I’m an Egyptian and I’m a little bit offended by this yet at the same time.. I can’t stop laughing lol 😂

Really makes you remember that all the monsters are mostly pissed that the gods killed their dad lol
@@xavierpittman1533 Well, not even killed. Imprisoned under one of the tallest mountains in Europe so he's pissed but alive.
Greek here:
In some versions of the myth, while Hermes and Pan go to reassemble Zeus, the god Ares is fighting Typhon until Zeus comes to have the final fight, essentially buying time for Hermes to do his job.
Ares is not mentioned in the popular myth because most knowledge we have from ancient Greece comes from Athens which did not like Ares as a deity.
Edit: Apparently Ares also managed to weaken Typhon a bit due to his spear getting stuck in Typhon's intestines. So he helped his father as well.
Edit2: Wow I did not expect this comment to blow up. Thank you.
Gigachad ares
Ares was a bro.
Huh, a moment of Ares actually being awesome.
I think its important to always remember that the Greek States and such had their arguments over their games
Some of them they liked
Some of them they hated
Hermes: "Damn... We need to go fix Zeus, but I can't reach the cave with that monster in the way."
Ares: "Leave that to me."
Athena: "Ares are you out of your mind?! Typhon defeated father single handedly and you want to take him on alone?!"
Ares: "This monster declared war on Olympus. And given that war is my domain, I'm determined to answer. Besides, if we're going to die anyway, I might as well go out in style. Apollo give me some theme music!"
Apollo: *Turns on jukebox.* *"Here I am! Rock you like a hurricane!"*
Ares: "Hell yeah! Have at thee!" *Charges/flies at Typhon*
Hermes: "Is... Is Ares actually being awesome?"
Athena: "I see it and even I have trouble believing it..."
Cerberus is the son of Typhon, so he's probably more intelligent than a regular doggo. So I just want you to imagine Cerberus talking to Hades like Garfield talks to Jon.
"Oh Spot, we have a visitor!"
"Don't tell me it's Orthrus."
"It's Orthrus."
I cannot unsee that ROTFL
Orthrus: hi bro some random guy called Hercules killed me so i'm here now.

Can he mail the hydra to Abu Dhabi?
@@metarcee2483 Probably the Chimera, they're siblings lmao
So, Zeus, king of the gods, lord of the sky, is a shape shifting horny disaster
But Typhon, nightmare of the ancient world, killer of Gods, bringer of storms, has a functional healthy relationship with someone who actually likes him.
Oh Greece, you, weird place.
What're you talking about..? *Ugly people* (like Typhon & Echidna) are always portrayed as Evil Villains, even in these Modern times 🙂🤷♂️
@@paradoxacres1063 Well actually some say that echidna was a brautiful woman and was choose by gaia both by her size and her beauty being the one who she thought would be the best for Typhon, do yeah he also had a more healthy relatioship with his mother than zeus since reia is forget after the theogony

@@paradoxacres1063 Tell that to Eris/Discordia after getting revenge on not getting invited to Achilles' parents' wedding, invoking a war in the process when beauty (Aphrodite) won over leadership (Hera) and strategy (Athena), and ultimately guided Aeneus to find Rome.
I think it's mostly "sequel drama." As in, the longer a story goes on and the more writers get involved, the more likely relationship drama is to occur. Typhon and Echina have relatively few stories, so no need or opportunity to insert quick conflict.
Meanwhile the gods get tons of stories, so you get a lot of Disney Sequel style "I know the previous story said they lived happily ever after, BUT..."
I like to imagine that Haphestaus and Typhon have this weird, friendly coworker relationship where they both kinda want to kill the other but have long since become resigned to each other’s presence and existence and just kinda make a small talk these days.
I heard that some myths paint Hephaestus as Typhon's "warden" so to speak, along with the Cyclopses that act as his assistants (the same ones Zeus freed from Tartarus in the Theogony btw).
Hephaestus: DO NOT DARE INSULT ME CREATURE
typhon: THEN FREE ME, PATHETIC CHILD OF ZEUS

Zeus getting described as "a misbehaving chicken leg" and "the world's horniest ukelele" brings me way too much joy.

Typhon is interesting because he’s the first and only time that the Olympians have struggled this severely in a war.
The Titanomachy was a close one, the Gigantomachy was tough, but they were all solved by cleverness and the might of the Order of Zeus.
Typhon is the only time we see those things thrown out the window and Zeus actually get beaten back this terribly. He wasn’t just a monster, he was THE monster.
LuminaryPrism75
He’s the Big Daddy of all monsters.
@@culturedamericanweeb431 quite literally too
Clearly they should have written the mythological version of JLA/Avengers if they had lasted longer. Stupid Jesus, without you we could have had Thor dual wielding the Trident and Hammer while wearing Hermes's sandals atop Cerberus.
He is the only monster from greek or any mythology for that matter that i was actually terrified of. I recently kind of got over it.
He is essentially the first thing Zeus could not tell to f*ck off by throwing a few lightning bolts at it.
If you want Zeus's ass kicked, you should do a video on the time Hera led the rebellion against him.
Yea and how it ended badly
Zeus quashed that rebellion.
@@HarshDude126 Yes, but Blue has not done a video about it yet.
they literally had to trick zeus into falling asleep because none of the olympians were strong enough to beat zeus, including poseidon
@@pokimanefartcompilation zeus was a chad amongst chads,im pretty sure it is stated he could solo all of olympus along with the entirety of heaven and earth.
I won't lie, Hephestus probably doesn't care about Typhon. My headcanon is that Hephestus works away, humming merrily with Typhon threatening him in the background, before he turns around and says "dude, I'm not afraid of you. Shut up and help me make this sword! Just be glad that your mother actually loves you." And then typhon is like "yikes dudes...owch. okay, when I get out of here I'm sooo making you my second in command"
It would be a good story potential or an interesting oc
Typhon seems smart enough to not want to waste Hephestus' talents.
So basically every Greek myth starts with
"And along came Zeus.."
“He hurled his thunderbolt!”
very true
the real monster was zeus's libido all along...
He zapped, locked those suckers in a vault
And every other story Hermes is just there giving cool mystical items to a hero. Just like Hey I know your dad screwed up your life by Screwing your mom But I am your cool uncle that's gonna only Show up once good luck and don't die Kiddo
"Ripped out his tendons like a misbehaving chicken leg" and "And they re-string him like the world’s horniest ukulele" are two sentences I never thought I would ever hear, yet here we are.
Facts tho, completely okay with the fact that I did tho
Haha
@@PheonixGirl-hg7cf Truly the best sentences in the whole dang video XD
You forgot to mention the spaghetti Zeus
Those two sentences sound like some legit scary threats. I like it.
For Hades, I could imagine him carrying a puppy version of Cerberus while he sees a dying Echidna.
SAD
If Echidna was slain by some Greek hero, does that mean that part of the reason Cerberus guards the underworld is so that he can easily visit his mommy?
@@UrpleSquirrel Yes.
"I think the lesson here is that the real monster was the English language all along." As an English literature major, I approve this teaching.
"The real monster was the English language all along."
English is what happens when drunken Roman soldiers try to make dates with flirty Saxon barmaids.
English gets other languages rip roarin' drunk, beats them up, then goes through their pockets for spare vocabulary.
English is the redheaded stepchild of languages.
(the "three languages stacked on top of one another in a trenchcoat" thing has been mentioned already)
Nah, Saxon supplanted the local Vulgar Latin almost completely. Most of the Latin-based vocabulary actually comes from Norman French a few hundred years later.
It's more like drunken Saxons trying desperately to impress their absent French stepdad by dressing up their language with a fancy accent and weird grammar.
Drunken Norman soldiers & Saxon barmaids
These are amazing
I usually just say the three languages stacked on top of each-other thing, but I add that the trenchcoat is leather made from the hide of a fourth language.
Why am I telling you this?
As a lead up to:
Yours is cooler.
@@tarmil you made that word up and we both know it. Franketymology isn't a real thing. RUclips comments even have spellchecker how did you get that wrong? did you uninstall Grammarly?
So you're saying that typhon didnt get to rule because zeus's friends helped him retake the throne?
So maybe the greatest weapon really is the friends you made along the way
ribgribber lol oh hush
okay buddy, you just lost tendon privilege
Not his friends, his children. So, I guess, the greatest weapon is the children you made along the way?
@@ThingsStuffington so that explains why Zeus had so many children
Just remember the real monster was the English language we made along the way and you'll be fine
2:12 I can just see typhoon being all shy trying to ask her out “like uh do you want to go on a date”
Gaia: That's my boy!
Who’s Echidna?
He's the perfect foil to Zeus.
and with each word he speaks the earth shakes a little in classic huge monster fashion
Returning to this to say I actually found a passage from the _Dionysiaca_ that gave Typhon a creepy villain monologue when he got to Olympus, where he told Zeus all the _lovely_ things he wanted to do to his family upon overthrowing him. Apparently, this included chaining up Poseidon with the chains that bound Iapetus; sending a bigger, stronger eagle to peck out Hephaestus' liver to avenge Prometheus; trapping Hermes in a jar forever to avenge those two giants who kidnapped Ares; enslaving Ares and Apollo; forcibly marrying off Artemis, Athena and Leto to Orion, Ephialtes and Tityos respectively with very...not pleasant implications behind that (especially his claim that he wishes to "make Ares a slave and Athena a mother"); and turning Hera, Selene and Aphrodite into his own personal harem (what do you think Echidna thinks of that?).
that genuinely startled me a bit while I read it.
So, Typhon was planning to go Emperor Joker on the universe, which is something that none of the Olympians would want for themselves or the world?
Too bad for him. He got barbecued by Zeus and then turned into a kaiju-pancake.
Maybe he was going to share with Echidna
Well the Dionysiaca was written in the 1st AD, so Nonnus probably has a lot of "canon" materials to work with, basically gotten everyone more or less nightmares and write it out.
Considering that Echidna was said to "take all the semen that did not end in the marital womb. The semen sown by the hand of man, the semen spent on the brothels and on the sheets of a concubine's bed" and that that was why she was always pregnant and birthing monsters, not only the major ones spawned from Typhon, well...I don't think she'd have a leg (badum tss) to stand on if she was opposed to the idea.
"The real monster was the English language all along"
Never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with
It’s not one language it’s 3 stacked on top of eachother in a trench coat
I know,I am angry but in Argeement
@@stormrunner4081 A "from somewhere I don't remember the English language is 3 languages in a trench coat taking spare grammar from other languages
The truth has been spoken!
The real monsters were the words we used along the way.
Zeus, if the giant monster that rips out your tendons is still more of a romantic than you are, then maybe you should do some introspection
...though then you might run into the wife you absorbed, so...
Most sense of the day😂😂
A theory I think I saw once was that the reason Zeus is constantly making stupid decisions is because Metis is subtly influencing him and trying to get him to screw up badly enough to get himself deposed so she can get revenge on him for swallowing her.

Can you imagine how humiliating it was for poor Orthus to have Cerberus as a brother? Imagine going through life with only two heads and working a thankless security job at a giant's stable in the middle of nowhere, knowing that your three-headed brother is living large in the Underworld as the god of the dead's pet. To add insult to injury, all anyone remembers about you is that you were unceremoniously killed on the job by one of the most famous heroes in mythology because some king decided that both your brother and the cattle you were guarding were more impressive than you.
yeah, he was a woobie pupper
And ironically enough, Orthrus is actually older than Cerberus according to Hesiod. Specifically he's actually the OLDEST of Typhon and Echidna's children, with Cerberus being the second oldest.

I find it hilarious that Typhon and Echinda had a healthy and functioning relationship and had all their monster babies yet Zues can't be loyal to his wife and he is suppose to be King of the Gods. Same with Hades and Persephone. They actually love each other. And are loyal to one another. Zues? Commitment? WHat's tHAT!?
Zeus*
Remember that time Zeus transformed into the literal symbol of monogamy to get it on with some rando? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Wishful Ink Zeus is a man-whore & Hera is a bird for going after everybody but her unfaithful husband.
Maybe whatever action Echidna gave was just that good that Typhoon just couldn’t get enough. Maybe the same with Persephone and Hades but I think that’s more love then anything. Besides, Persephone didn’t deliver all the monsters into the known Greek mythology.
Actually hades cheated on Persephone twice, once with the nymph of the River cocytus menthe (Persephone crushed her and turned her into mint) and another with a different nymph who hades straight up kidnapped and Persephone turned into a poplar tree

In that story, Giants are born scarcely larger than human babies and are slightly taller than humans when first sexually mature, but they keep on growing. Angie was willing to make it with the Aesir dude when he was eight feet tall and she was nine foot two with eyes of blue, and even when she was twelve or fifteen, but when he dropped by when she was thirty feet tall, she just laughed at him.
That isn't a bad way of explaining it, and puts a different cast on the ogre's beautiful daughter, too.

World mythology really does have this tendency to overlap doesn’t it?
@@CJCroen1393 I studied several different methods of massage developed in different countries. They all had elements in common, because they all developed from study of the human body.
Our myths developed in different cultures, but they were all created within human brains, in human bodies, living Stone Age and Bronze Age lives.
Maybe that is the real nature of what Jung called the collective unconscious.

How else do you herald a prophesy
FUN FACT relevant to the start of this video: the Wikipedia category “offspring of Zeus” contains 114 pages.
(Some of them are different versions of the same characters but STILL)
And those are just the ones we know about
A lot of kings made their ancestors children of Zeus to make themselves look better. If ancient Greece was just one nation he would probably have had fewer.
That's honestly lower than I expected.
By complete coincidence I'm like #69.
Preston Jones tbf, that’s only counting the ones with Wikipedia pages
Honestly, my biggest surprise take away from this is that Typhon is suppose to be this kaiju sized father of all monsters that is prophesied to usurp Zeus as head-honcho of all the cosmos like Zeus did with Cronos and Cronos did with Ouranos and who has had an epic 1v1 with Zeus that resulted in Typhon getting trapped under a mountain, ... but whenever someone wants to make some modern fiction involving the Hellenistic Pantheon they make Hades the primary antagonist, maybe Cronos if they did their research and not even MENTION Typhon! Where the hell is my modern Greek epic about fighting a Greek equivalent to Godzilla so terrifying that all the Olympians run all the way to Egypt just to get away from him!?!
That did actually happen in the fifth Percy Jackson vid.
Percy Jackson. for the back half of the series luke/cronos wasn't even the Olympians biggest problem. it was the newly freed typhon making his way across the USA towards olympus in New York
May I introduce you to a little Nintendo DS RPG called "Glory of Heracles" ?
that would be absolutely fascinating, like the cycle was never broken but instead waiting for the day Typhon got tried of imprisonment and emerged to claim the world under one, himself. a demiurge figure compared to the hellenistic pantheon as the father remains Tartarus which represents the exact opposite of what Uranus legacy was, a giant family tree consisting of many powerful entities. the new generation Gaia wrought with Tartarus however is a whole new breath of life into reality compared to the old world, one that is defined not by stories of many immortals aiding man but just the mortal lifes who aspire to the one immortal that is Typhon, the result of Gaia starting anew with everything that Uranus was not.
Why do you think Percy Jackson culminates with a teenager facing down Kronos on Olympus itself? It's cause all the gods are busy dealing with something much, much worse.
Except Hades, who's just so done with his family's bullshit that he refuses to help at all and I guess plans on letting them wear Typhon and Kronos down. Fair, considering that literally everyone assumed he was the villain of book 1 (you were supposed to be smart, Chiron)
"With Tarturus itself as the father..."
WTF Hades you just let Tarturus mate with your grandma!? Are you that polite!?
To be fair, if Hades had tried to get between the two, he'd have two fight two different beings that could each rip him to shreds while Zeus laughed at him.
Tartarus: (gettin' it on with Gaia)
Hades: (trying to look away) Nope, not gonna ask. Not gonna ask...
I think at that point it’s less “getting physical” and more “getting metaphysical”. Plus Tartarus is already underground, so...

3:24 I’ve heard another version of the story that I prefer. In that version Typhon had taken the tendons with him, and a minor satyr god named Aegipan (I think he’s minor, but maybe it’s just another name for Pan, I don’t know) gets them back. He calmly sits down on a rock and plays his panpipes, pretending not to notice the giant monster raining chaos all around him. Typhon is so confused by this, having never heard music or met someone who didn’t immediately flee from him that he stops and talks to him. The satyr offers to write a ballad about Typhon’s victory over the olympians, but says he’d need an incredibly powerful harp. Typhon gives him Zeus’s tendons to make it, then Aegipan plays a lullaby on his panpipes that makes the giant monster that even the gods feared fall asleep like a little baby. Then Hermes flies him away up to the cave and they return the tendons so Zeus can finish him off.
I love that version because it’s such an underdog story.
This is what bards can accomplish when they're not..... doing the kind of things Zeus does.
Level 20 bard intensifies !!!!
I wonder what would happen if he actually made that harp. I mean, if he could make Typhon sleep with a lullaby, imagine what he could do with Zeus' tendons... idk
I knew the same story, but whit Kadmos lol.
I believe Aegipan was turned into a constellation afterwards, or became the god Pan instead.
Pan: "Hey! Don't Hermes and I get a thank you?"
Zeus: "For the tendons thing, or my constantly enduring boner thing?"
Pan: "Both. Both is good."
Something interesting is that since this myth is linked to Mount Etna, it might probably an andromorphization of Volcanic Lighting during Eruptions since it looks like there is a fight between Zeus and Typhon inside the smoke and ash.
“World’s horniest ukulele” is something that I wasn’t expecting to hear today but I’m certainly not going to complain about it.

Typhon was my favorite monster. Pretty much Gaia's kill-switch for the Gods. His whole purpose was to annihilate them. The fact Zeus couldn't actually kill him says loads about his level of power.
Probably my favorite myth, honestly. Where else do you get kaiju, Gods, and a fight that melts the land, ignited the air and boils the sea with its intensity.
Ragnarok
Yes ! Honestly Typhon is the best and the fact that he didn't marry his familly relative and had a mutually consentual realtionship is a +1000 points
Gaia really does have a long history of helping her children or grandchildren fuck up her other children or grandchildren
What I like about typhon is that in most myths he is straight up stronger than Zeus and looses only because Zeus had help. In one version Zeus doesn't even have a round two, he just drops mt etna on top of typhon while he sleeps, and in another typhon is tricked by Hermes into drinking a ton of undistilled wine and is too wasted to fight back against zeus
When I was around 12 years old, I found a Greek mythology book in my house (probably the Theogony). While I was reading, I was getting increasingly more confused at why Zeus seemed like the protagonist since a lot of what he was doing made him look more like an antagonist. And when I got to the part about Typhon and Echidna, they seemed like the secret heroes of the story. After that, the monstrous couple became the two most important characters to me and they still are. One thing that I despise is when a writer characterizes Typhon as only a stepping-stone villain without any further depth or dialogue. I like how you've boiled this down for people to see him more objectively. Thanks for that. I often feel like I'm one of the few people in the world who truly cares about Typhon and Echidna wholeheartedly. I've devoted so much of my time and writing to them. My first foray into writing was creating a children's book for them and their babies when they were younger (inspired by how John Gardner wrote Grendel from his view). But my truest act of devotion was writing my urban fantasy novels where my future children rally dragons from all cultures around the world in an attempt to shatter Mt. Etna and finally free my pinnacle role model.
It was not the Theogony. Hesiod goes out of his way to make Zeus the good guy in the Theogony and in Works in Days. I mean you can still see Zeus bad things there, altrough Hesiod will get some excuses or will use his lovely poetry to make Zeus not look so bad
@@sonofcronos7831 wasn't Hesiod kind of a Zeus fanboy?
@@user-tp9uw1pr6mall of ancient Greece is Zeus's fanboy/fangirl so yes.
Typhon's description of his tenure as the King of Gods sounds less actively malicious (although it would very much suck for the Olympians) and more alien to us mortals. Like invasive species outcompeting us not because they inherently hate us, but because they are better at surviving.

@cak01vej wasn't Kronus the titan of harvests and such while Chronos was the titan of time?
The paradox of reading Percy Jackson: wanting Percy to succeed because he's a good boy, but wanting him to fail so Zeus finally gets the butt kicking he so rightfully deserves
That's the thing I love about Mark of Athena. Percy admits that he won't ever fight for someone like Gaia, but that the Gods are still MASSIVE assholes, and that won't ever change.

In some myths, Hera is Typhon's mom so I just imagine right after ripping Zeus' tendons, Typhon imprisoned Hera somewhere who is terrified of her monstrous kaiju sized son.
Indeed, IIRC, some of these myths say Typhon was created by Hera _entirely by accident._ She just wanted to one up Zeus "birthing" Athena by producing a child without his help.

Dr. Doobydoo 11
I wouldn’t call Zeus a villain. Sure, he is an asshole that cares little for human life and bangs very female that moves but he is still an effective leader and keeps the gods in check. He’s also the mediator in most conflicts (Athens vs Poseidon) and hasn’t done nothing directly antagonizing. He even lets Heracles free Prometheus.
Just a Lil thing I noticed; It was Hermes and Pan who helped stitch Zeus back together. And in the Hermes analyzing video, the idea that Hermes initially started out as an epithet for Pan was introduced. So perhaps in the OG text, Pan/Hermes helped stitch Zeus together solo, but the story got rewritten to accommodate the division of Hermes and Pan. Just something I noticed.
Fun fact: Pan also fled to Egypt along with the Olympians, turning into a half-goat half-fish within the Nile. So Pan is also Hermes.
Even more fun when you realize that the "green man" revived the storm god, caster of lightning, to kill the apocalyptic multi headed "dragon" that scrapes the heavens and breathes fire. I mean that's like THE quintessential commonality in nearly every religion
