I know it's not a popular opinion but I think the idea of Medusa being a mortal daughter of two gods, without a real place among mortals or immortals, has much more interesting potential for stories than making her the 85th victim of an Olympian's libido.
I'd love to see some videos on the Etruscan deities, alongside the Carthaginians, as they're highly underrated imo. It should also be noted that the Roman deities were not just carbon copies of the Ancient Greeks but also may have taken inspiration from the Latin's northern neighbours in Etruria!
Hey jake! maybe you should do a video on Artemis and Apollo telling their tales or some lesser known gods or on Poseidon son Polyphemus and how Odysseus stabbed out his eye.
Can you show the Roman forms of your gods because you made Neptune and Minerva unique form their Greek forms like the heroes of Olympus? That would be cool. Maybe discuss the differences between Greek and Roman gods
This honestly helps me a lot on some things as I’m trying to write a fictional book about monsters throughout mythology and legends and Typhon is a center focus for my main character to release. Now I have some more beings I can use as I wanted to try to be as accurate as possible, but also have the idea of showing that they evolved throughout the years in their own way instead of what we know of them back then
I laughed so hard when the giant ran away from the presence of Athena wearing someone else as Armor and throw Islands at him, that's some messed up looney tunes shit right there
I love the history of Aeneas. Especially the part where Virgil on his death bed begged his apprentice to burn his weird Homeric Aeneas Fan-Fiction. He did not. FYI, that's where the Byzantium Empire comes from, and why Rome actually moved the capitol.
You have a few mentions of dragons in this video. I thought that the word and beast dragon was a medieval invention, and the word dragon originally meant snake. (The greeks not knowing the beast dragon)
that is actually quite a complicated question, dragons (whilst not always referred to that) were kinda a historical constant, there were of course the european dragons which you mentioned and the chinese dragons there are also figures such as quetzlocoatl (not sure I spelt that right but have mercy) and of course the greek hydra and the other multiheaded serpent dragon creature heracles got atlas to defeat, and romans (whilst not a valid form of greek myth) also had the cockatrice, the chicken basilisk thing. so whilst they likely werent outright called dragons they were what atleast the modern era considers dragons. though it is an interesting topic (especially for fantasy nerds like me) I would like to hear a counter arguement
dragons are a staple of fantasy, a genre almost always set in the medieval era but i'm not sure of any direct dragon references in christianity, the prevading religion of the medieval era. as for the mentions in this video, dragons in some form or another have appeared in so many cultures, so far across the world, across so many eras that some scientist wonder if they may once fhave been real thousands of years ago. TLDR; not a medieval invention but you maybe hear dragon and think of the "traditional" european interpretation despite their prevolence in dozens of cultures ancient and modern.
Drakos are giant Snakes in greek mythology, they usually dont have wings or are related to fire. Typhon however is called a Drako but he is a giant with wings and serpent legs and heads and also heads of lions, bulls, eagles and bears scattered across his body, but his main head looks human. So he is definitily not a traditional medieval dragon.
I would blindly believe what you say about Ram and Krishna over the many conflicting stories told by my grandparents. That is, if you ever decide to do videos on Indian mythology (pretty please), going with how you like doing videos about polytheistic myths. -big fan of your animation and brand of humour
Hey, Jake? Could you do the story of how Loki killed Baldur in Norse mythology? (And also Ragnarok?) I love your videos, and how you portray the gods (in all cultures)
Good choice snitching on hermes. The god in front of you is always the most dangerous. I love tour detail and fun presentation. A terrific teacher! Subbed.
the gorgon looking straight at onlookers reminds me of the egyptian god of fertility (I believe) also the only character to be depicted from the front and put in a lot of different places. Are there any indications they share some history or something?

Hi jake! love your videos and the effort you put into them, is it alright if you could discuss Philippine Mythology? i want you to talk about it because you have a fun way of telling stories and myths and the art just makes it better
Broman, this channel popped up while i was Greek Mythology in the MCU.... that DBZ fusion dance got me to subscribe to you alone. Great content and outstanding modern learning structure. The basic key points are there with a mix modern structure kids can't help but pay attention to..... thank you sir
Hi jake! Love your content, im also a Percy Jackson fan and i was wondering if you do a part three if you could explain "The Mark of Athena" and demigods (thats if they are both mentioned in the mythology) and maybe the Titan War if its also in the mythology, you don't need to add all of it as i know it takes a long time to animation all of this: take your time! We'll still be here when you post part three
There being no art of the lead tipped spear gives me the same energy as disney movies and cw shows being like "im the son of jack the ripper" when there is no part of history claiming he sired children, its like the ancient greeks heard the story and then said "um no it was a lead tipped spear and he melted it over the monsters mouth while it just sat still and let it kill him" just feels like the same terrible "heavy fanfiction" writing that we get of our childhood stories nowadays.
Favorite example of syncretism when it comes to mythology will always be the Chaoskampf which pops up all across the globe. A deady battle between a god representing wind/lightning against a fearsome primordial serpent : Thor and Jörmungandr, Zeus and Typhon, Indra and Vritra, Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi.
god of X is like saying professional basketball player they can still drive a car without being a racecar driver i like to think of it as their profession just like anyone can cook "make wine" but Dionisius makes the best wine
When I did a presentation on greek mythology my disclaimer for the various / different version of the legends I kinda mad a joke but true “ disclaimer these legends are hundreds if not thousands of years old making it the longest game of telephone and plenty of time for people to make fan fics of them. So if you think I’m wrong I’m just sorting a different version “
I know it's not a popular opinion but I think the idea of Medusa being a mortal daughter of two gods, without a real place among mortals or immortals, has much more interesting potential for stories than making her the 85th victim of an Olympian's libido.
The true story of the Medusa is so much more interesting. There’s a reason her hair was made from snakes and could petrify people .

It is better to say "patron god of..." than "god of..." because they don't have specific powers, just represent specific things.

Dragons aren't snakes in greek mythology. There's a lot of different kinds. There are serpentine dragons but there are fire breathing as well
@@trystanreadman1764
I believe Lucifer transformed into a dragon in order to face Michael during the rebellion in Heaven. Though I might be wrong.
I remember being told about Orion & Artemis at school when I was young, so thanks for bringing back my childhood memories!
There's also an idea that Homer was actually a complier of myths, or a group of archivists using the same pen name.
Two years ago,on this day,I found Jake. I love your vids
Boy, I can't wait!
I REALLY wanna see your spin on romanian/thracian/dacian mythology (yes i am indeed romanian, yes that is the reason i wanna see it)
