An exquisite jewel is this video depicting the twelve labors of Hercules. It does an excellent job of exploring the unbelievable exploits of this mythical hero. The depiction of Hercules' struggles is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and reverence, as he faces off against terrifying monsters and fantastical beings. The narratives are interesting and instructive, shedding light on Greek mythology and Hercules's lasting impact. Bravo to the makers for so brilliantly adapting these classic stories!
I love how much is included in your videos. I used to attend my grandfather to so many museums and this is how he would relay the stories in the paintings. I love i
Nah....in those days everyone lived out their passions and was happy and free. Nowadays everyone has therapy and talks like a therapist - and everyone is depressed.
When I first learned of Heracles, I was so sad when I found out he died and was left at that at the end. And I was mad for so long, because I thought he died for nothing. This absolute king of a hero deserved everything. So when this little piece, for the ending was him reuniting with Zeus as a god, and marrying again, even getting into the good graces of Hera, I am just beyond happy. But I am tho curious what happened to his previous wife that poisoned him.
I mean, that's just blatantly not true. She liked Odysseus, Perseus, Herakles, Bellerophon, and Achilles. Probably plenty of others too. Those are just off the top of my head. Half of Her myths are Her basically being some hero's fairy godmother
@@WildMen4444 bruh seriously remember the fact that she was one of the three maiden goddesses and also I mean sure she may guided some heroes but not giving her blessing because it would require to do something so great that would earn her respect
😁👏👍 Yep that's was The Complete Story of Hercules alright. Humanity shall remember Hercules in action to complete 12 labors. Well done. Well done indeed.
It's interesting to know that Hercules is a Superhero in Marvel Comics but also has had a few love affairs also in the comics he had one with She-Hulk which fun fact She-Hulk has a lot of lovers which include thanos's brother and Iron Man and the juggernaut and she tried to get Wolverine but in his words he doesn't want the juggernauts sloppy seconds😂
Maybe.....but she had steel. She was married to the most powerful God on earth. What was she gna do after - date a mortal and complain about how her was a womanizer and the king of the Gods.
Ok so about the two endings I said it before. The cloth burnt his skin and he died. That's the first version. The second version is that he requested to be burnt although a cloud came and lifted Heracles to the mount Olympus where he became a God. So they didn't happen at the same time

Pausanias, Description of Greece 3. 19. 5 : "Wrought on the altar [of the Amyklaian, at Amyklai in Lakedaimonia] is also Herakles; he too is being led to heaven by Athena and the other gods."

@@WildMen4444 bruh seriously just listen carefully. When Heracles was about to die, suddenly a cloud sent by Zeus lifted him up and he went to Olympus and he became a God
This idea may sound fan-based, but something about this gives me an idea. What is Zeus and Metis had the first son before Athena, the strongest of all of Zeus' children that Zeus decided to put him into a kind of training similar to the 12 labors, and in the future Zeus' first son would become the father of Hercules and his brother. What would any of you would say the name of the first child of Zeus and Metis before Athena would be?
Yea... the 12 Labors Of Heracles wasn't given as a way to distract or prevent Heracles from taking the throne... They were given to him as punishment and as a way to atone for killing his wife and children which only happened because Hera magically drove him mad. And the way Heracles ended up under Eurystheus' service is because he sought out the Oracle Of Delphi for guidance on what to do to atone.
Again Hera didn't allow the baby to drink her milk. Zeus made Hermes to bring the baby to Hera's bed and the baby drank the milk and then Hera woke up and she made her milk to explode thus creating the milky way. Also Hera sent mania not by herself
Athena pointed out the baby to Hera and She nursed Herakles. Herakles bit too hard and the milk spilled which created the Milky Way. How the heck would She cause milk to explode?
@@WildMen4444 bruh that's not how it happened. Zeus made Hermes to take the baby from the crib and he put it in Hera's bed and the baby started to drink her milk with hunger.
@@WildMen4444 then from the pain she woke up and she moved the baby away as the milk came out like a fountain to the galaxy thus creating the milky way
In the verisons of the myth ive heard, Hercules (Herakles) dies of a poison shirt given to him by his wife. Hera tricks his wife by saying the shirt would keep him faithful. So same but different.
I think you mean Heracles. Since Hercules is the roman version of his name, and this is the greek version of his story. So yeah, you want Heracles. Not Hercules. Just pointing that out. Fun Fact: his original name was Alceus, but they changed his name in honor of Hera.
Hi, thanks for your comment and sharing your thoughts. This has been discussed in this comment section before, but again, we will continue to argue that both names are translations and we'll use whichever name performs better. As most people only know him as Hercules, Hercules will be. Names aside, we hope you enjoyed the video ;)
@SeeUinHistory I did enjoy it. I'm a huge fan of the 12 labors of Heracles. And I didn't mean any disrespect, I just thought I'd point that out. I also hope to see more great videos from you guys.
The real name in Greek is Ἡρακλῆς, which would be very difficult to pronounce. We know that Hercules is the Roman translation. We chose to use the name by which he is best known because of search results and algorithmic reasons. 👍
For a channel priding itself on knowledge regarding greek mythology, it does itself a disservice saying Hercules, instead of the proper Greek name HERACLES...
@@WildMen4444Zeus=Jupiter Athena=Minerva Hermes=Mercury Heracles=Hercules. The Romans gave every greek god their own name. That's what he means. After all Heracles was not a god entirely he was a demi god. So you can't say that he even existed. Sorta like the cherry tree or the honest abe story it's probably stories that the Ancient Greeks told their children to motivate them to be strong,honest and generous like Heracles I mean we see that in every fricking religion Deucalion is Noah, the Christian god is Allah for the muslims and Yahweh for the jews, the Devil is Lucifer for the Christians and the Jews but Iblis for the Muslims. The list goes on.
@@bluesky6985 Samson and Heracles are probably on the same level when it comes to existence, real to those who believe and are part of their faiths. But historically speaking Heracles came before Samson, so in a more logical sense Samson is likely based off him if we consider them just myths.
The 12 labors of Hercules is always an incredible legend that it will never be forgotten.
12 is always that number that just always pops up throughout history.
You mean Heracles?

To me Hera really needs to get theraphy to control her anger and jealousy.
Hera needs theraphy but what she really need is divorce Zeus.
Nah....in those days everyone lived out their passions and was happy and free.

She's doesn't have a problem with his other children she must be used to it by now
She’s not the problem Zeus is

Zeus got his own great granddaughter pregnant. No wonder Herc had so much power. He was 63% Zeus

ITS HERACLES
He had even different name at first...he was being called Heracles (which means "Glory to the Hera") in order to appease the goddess.

Also Athena wouldn't give her blessings on the baby because she didn't like any males except for her father giving the love of her father

@jcly96 TRUE!
Exactly. This video left an extremely crucial piece out which makes me wonder what else have they gotten wrong or left out in their other videos.
Do you prefer the Roman pronunciation of his name,or the Greek?
Can someone please recommend a book where all these stories are told? Specifically these, not just a broad mythology book
These are different stories than what I remember. Is this channel making this up or is it different sources?
Probably just different sources. Most mythological stories have several versions
did you use mixed sources?
Heracles wasn’t even his real name, but he got the name from Hera.
Heracles means glory from Hera

"His name IS HERACLES!". No seriously though, good video but, everyone is using the 'roman' version of his name in the 'greek' version of his story.
