Finally The Truth About Hercules Is Told
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2024
- It's about time that we talk about Hercules. Greek mythology's greatest hero, riddled with wrong information, inconsistencies, and... non-heroic stuff. Let's start with problem number one: His name was Heracles or Herakles, depending on your preferred spelling Hercules was the name the Romans gave him - Hercules is the son of Jupiter.
With that out the way, let's move on to problem number 2: Most of the time... Heracles really was not a heroic man. This man has an insanely high body, count, and... it all started with him sending his whole family into the afterlife: Wife and children. So those 12 labors? They are the world's most epic community service. But... let's break down Perseus' great grandson Hercules bit by bit in this episode:
Episode 2 Of KUWTGG Season 2: The Age Of Heroes - Heracles, aka Hercules
Notes:
When it comes to Heracles - who I will refer to as Hercules in these notes, (even though it's wrong, but... it's the bigger keyword....), there are so many stories that it was impossible to fit them all in one video. He was the Superman of the time - quite literally: Everybody and their mother had a Hercules tale, so he differed from region to region and his timeline is all over the place. Really think of him like a comic book character, existing in various series, spin-offs, timelines, etc.
That's why I left out one story: The Gigantomachy, where Hercules helps the gods debate the giants. The problem is that it completely messes with the timeline, since, technically Hercules can’t really be there, since it happened shortly after the titan war, which is long before Perseus, his grandfather was born.
For all accounts and purposes Herakels was just added by poets for no reason. Like adding Batman to world war 2 in a What If story.
You get me?
Thats on top of the gigantomachy kind of just being a remake of the titanomachy, so… yeah there are many reasons I left it out, since it messes everything up, but maybe I will give it its own video...
I also left out the part where Hercules was enslaved for three years after he killed Iphitus - enslaved to serve Queen Omphale, and he had to do women’s work and wear women’s clothes, while she wore his lion skin and club. But again…. That severely messes with the timeline of Herakles meeting Deianira and taking Iole captive, so… I left it out because it would make things too complicated. Just do know that somewhere there is a version of the Iphitus story, where Hercules is enslaved by a queen.
And those man eating horses? It is said that Alexander The Great’s Horse, Bucephalus, which was genuinely legendary and conquered the world with Alexander - it is said that this horse is a descendant of those horses.
Get All My Artwork & Support The Channel:
/ briefed
I get a lot of questions about my artwork and where it’s from or rather who draws it. Well the answer is that I create it - I don’t draw it. I use AI to create the artwork, using specific prompts, specific style influences from 18th and 19th century artists, and I spend about 10 hours per video just on the artwork. Each video has roughly double the artwork of what you actually see in the video, so a lot of it is unused.
The good news about that is that you can get all that artwork on my Patreon:
The artwork I do use, and the artwork I don’t use.
Plus, by subscribing to my Patreon you are making a major contribution to Briefed and helping me to keep this channel going, because this is my full time job and the survival of the channel and quality of the videos greatly depends on said support. In return for supporting, you get more than the artwork though - you also get access to exclusive videos and you can download every video you see on here to download and keep.
If you choose to become a Patron - thank you. I do not take it for granted.
Footage:
In the beginning and throughout, I used a clip from the 2014 Hercules. Then a clip from Blood of Zeus. The movie scene is from Crazy Stupid Love, and the other bits are from Game of Thrones.

Dudes voice is awe inspiring
awww man thanks 🥹
Yes! Very soothing ❤
His humor also, and of course the star of the show : the dog
@@Bgjvanhelvoort88 yea for sure. Gotta love a mans companion. 🦮🦮
@@Briefed_Mythologyno joke, your Julius Caesar and Octavian episodes were my favorite. I’m a self proclaimed “romaboo” 😂
"Just like Martin Sheen...no good comes from his seed..." 🤣🤣😂😂 I'm dead 💀💀👻
Lol, he gave us Charlie the legend though even if he's no good 🤣🤣
this is the best channel RUclips has ever recommended to me. brilliant story telling.
thank you 🥹
The family Sunday dinner conversation at Hercules house must be one hell of a thing.
all family gatherings in greek mythology make reality tv look cute
‘In any other situation smashing things and..’ I’m done 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Athena got bored of babysitting Heracles. 😂 She was like fuc&$ this I ll take u back to your mom who abandoned u.😂😂
Well .. she not a god of childbirth, she had other things to do
So i was finishing your whole video library when this video auto played and i thought to myself, "did i miss this one somehow?" and I just realized it was just added an hour ago. Anyways, I just thought it was a nice little treat that there was a new video right after i finished all your other ones.
aye perfect timing haha. also thank you for watching all my videos 😊🥹
Herakles, the most famous bastard.
16:45 the story of the 12 labours is sending me back to grade 7 English literature which began my love for mythology
10:17 Thotiana - that name could not have been better-assigned if we had planned it ourselves...
The peak of naming ngl
"Boy 2 Man" Gold 🪙
Bruh… this man brings the mythology and history to life.. and makes me laugh out loud when I’m alone!
You've absolutely got to add more content bro!!! I love you content. And I love learning
thanks bro 🥹 more coming every Saturday 🫡
Imagine the look on Hera’s face, during Herk’s apotheosis. What a sight and comedy to behold indeed!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dog enjoys the stories as well. Just back there chilling.
ANOTHER BANGER my guy!
Your research game is just as FIRE as your humor!
Entertaining as hell man.
keep up the great work. Thank you for the great story telling
I like the way you narrate the tales! The subtle humor is fantastic!
From Herakles's point of view Hyppolyta had just tried to have him killed after sex, I would've been pretty mad too.
yup. actually understandable. still didn't have to kill her though - whatever happened to knocking people out like in non lethal playthroughs
@@Briefed_MythologyAncient Antiquity, fam. 'Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.'
I love the anime references! It was a long week and this videos was a nice break, Thank you!!

Hercules was a Nephilim.
Was he though, or is this a person observation
@@alba..8479 He was considered a "Demi-God". Meaning he is a hybrid. If the fallen angels came and set themselves up as gods and took wives and had hybrid offspring who we know as the Nephilim and they had great physical stature and power, along with being the ones mentioned as the men of renown and the heroes of old then it's not an observation it's a fact. These beings were the fallen angels and their hybrid demonic offspring the Nephilim.
@fendisaintlaurent4257 thanks for explaining, and it's an astute observation
Early squaaaaad. I am always looking forward to your uploads!
early squad report 🫡
Bro. Great Story telling. Awesome and Educational
Been binge watching for two days and for the second time ever i joined a patreon . Your videos are so fucking awesome !!! Im glad to help support your journey and i hope many blessings fall your way ! Epic brother just epic all around . Thank you !
ah man - thanks James, that means a lot. truly. I do not take that for granted. thanks.
The best Herakles depiction is in Robert Graves s The Gollden Fleece. A crazy brute that even his companions feared
So happy to see this channel keeps growing week. Great work bro🙌🙌✌✌

Wow the ending lol great vid as usual
My dude! Just found your channel today! BRO u are awesome!!
.This video got the follow. Love your presentation. The Vine at HYDRA AND MARTIN SHEENS SON, HILARIOUS!
Fire as usual. Keep it up
BTW, LORE CONTINUITY,
Grandpa Perceus turned Atlas into a stone mountain with Medusa's head.
And by the time Hercules showed up, Atlas is de-stoned.
Anyone ever stop to think on that one?... Like, literally, Atlas just destoned himself over time.
it just doesn't make any sense and is a case of greek mythology multiverse haha two popular tales that directly contradict each other
World's first plot hole.
Loved the video, haven’t seen a legitimate RUclips channel talk about the real Greek mythology. Yo should do the real story of Theseus.
I love Greek mythology and I just came across your channel. You are soo frickin funny! I def have to binge you!😂❤

Brother I love your videos! Awsome work 💪😎. What kind of camera do you use?
thanks brother 🫡. I just use my iPhone 14 back camera actually
Another great lore video, thanks.
thanks for watching 😊
That's a great way to tell the tale of Hercu... sorry, Herakles. Super funny script, very good edit. Very nice
Love this!!!
Oh sheeeeeet let go! Have you done a video in typhon? I feel like you have but can’t find it
yup it's on my patreon. I think haha
Greek here, your video is very good you pronounce the names and spell them well there's just a bit of inaccuracies in the video when Herakles had to bring back the Cerynitian Hind and the Erymanthian boar back to King Eurystheus and you didn't mention Herakles' cousin Theseus stopping him from jumping off a mountain after the death of his family. Very solid story non the less
I love the channel. Odin is my favorite mythological deity.
Will u make vids on weapons from mythos like GUNGNIR & Herc's Admantine Mace?!?
I think only marvel Hercules has a mace like that. In all the versions I know he had a study wooden club.
@@evanspencer6693Herc got an Admantine Mace in the mythos. It's where Marvel came up with Adamantium from.
It sux what Marvel does to most mythos
Asmr would be epic and funny with his voice and jokes😂
I really appreciate your videos bring peace to my mind! One day I wanna be able to collaborate with you once my channel is started!
The man be spitting hot fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
he knows how to tell a story this was good as hell
Found the channel, absorbed the entertaining historical mythology/history on the human condition in less than 1 wk…Been waiting almost 72 hrs for a new vid bro!! 🥶 Hercules! Heracles! LFG! 😂
I looooove it. happy to have you on board Salomon 🫡
This man is Hilarious!! 😂😂. Good story time by the way.
I'm at the start of the vid .... excited to see my boi promethues rescued
Yaaaay....but also hercules was a mega k k k kunt
He exaggerated the actions of Heracles, blaming him for the killing of his family by hera and blaming him for the 12 labourers. When he was enslaved by his cousin, he did not choose the twelve labours he was forced to do them or die
When I need a sound sleep.....
Sounds like Gilgamesh pre Enkidu 🤫👀
You should upload 3 times a week💯
ah I wish that I could jay, really wish that I could
Great grandfather style took me out😂😂😂
Addicted to your videos lol
Love this
4:14 ITS THE RETURN OF THE ROCK!!! I smell whatcha cooking.😂😂😂
10:19 I'm dead, LMFAO😂😂😂
P.S.: I feel like my joke fell on its face, LOL. I was eluding to that song "Return of The Mack". I'm not as good at the metaphorical and witty jokes like you, but I tried, lmao. As always big brother, we loved the video. We've been sharing your videos to our friends. They are entertaining asl and educational as well. On behalf of all us subscribed to you and that watch all your videos. Thank you.
haha the PS helped me understand it and then I had to laugh hahaha so mission accomplished

Best RUclipsr
