@@MystOfMythology Happy Sunday sir. I hope your 2024 has been going great! Hmm I can see that regarding Typhon. Well, hopefully someday somebody will make a movie about him...and other underrated mythological monsters.
Excellent as always, Mr. Myst. Didn't know Typhon's history. Massive respect. Imagery for him that holds true to the descriptions in source material had to be tough. Thousand headed hands and the like can't have been easy. You've inspired me to stop wasting my time with inferior mythological content. 😉
In some tellings,the Greek Gods and Goddesses fleeing Typhon to Egypt in animal forms led to the creation of Egyptian Mythology. Thus connecting Greek and Egypt Myths.
An interesting idea but is there any actual connections you can draw between the mythologies? Like can you link together which greek gods could have become which egyptian gods? What about the story of the egyptian gods and what happened to them, or how they saw the setup of the world as being, are they even compatible with the greek stories? I'm not as familiar with the egyptian gods but i cant see much in terms of possible connections myself
@@gamezx Hey, you're asking some great questions there! You're right to be sceptical - it's not like the Greek gods just morphed into Egyptian ones. But there are some interesting connections. Some scholars have drawn parallels between gods like Zeus and Amun-Ra or Hermes and Thoth. But you're spot on-the core stories and ways they saw the world are pretty different. The thing is, Greece and Egypt did influence each other, especially during the Hellenistic period. So, while the myths didn't exactly merge, there was definitely some cultural mixing going on. That story about Greek gods fleeing to Egypt? It's more of a metaphor for this cultural exchange than a literal explanation. So yeah, while there's no direct 'Greek god A became Egyptian god B' thing, the connections between these mythologies are pretty fascinating when you dig into them. If you're curious, look up 'interpretatio graeca' - it's all about how the Greeks interpreted other cultures' gods.
This myth (as virtually all myths) has multiple different tellings and accounts, with different details for all of them. But you always find a way to weave them together into one coherent story, taking parts from all of them and tying them together. I have such great admiration for the excellent content (and context) you provide. I know how much work you put into it. Keep on being awesome.☮
THE-X-Force! Buddy! Thank you my friend. Yeah, I don’t think I’ve worked on anything as hard as this and enjoyed it in my life. Thank you for the acknowledgment it means a lot sir. ❤️
@@alexanderstevens3289 Hey Alexander, no, they are actually from two totally different mythologies - Typhon is Greek and the Kraken is Norse (Hollywood is to blame for mixing things up)
It's interesting to me how the Romans are descendants of the Greeks. Like it's there in front of you. Hercules was a demi-god in the Greek pantheon but in Roman mythos a God. And what's still mind-boggling to me is that Hades is betrayed by Zeus and Poseidon and yet he bears no ill will to them.
I'll might get some backlash for saying this, but the more I learn about mythology, the more evident it becomes that one mythology is built on top of another. This might be obvious when we talk about history, but when it's a religion, the faith dictates that it is the first version, and any previous beliefs are heresy. And just to clarify, the Roman's weren't genealogically descendants of Greece, but they certainly did take their Pantheon and give the same gods, with almost the same stories Roman names.
@@MystOfMythology Facts, That's why I love history and mythology. I'm even learning to become a history teacher myself. Mainly social, ancient and warfare. But first I have to finish grade 12🥲
A noble profession. If I could go back in time, I'd go back to myself when I was 13 and in History class-slap my 13-year-old across the pack of the head and tell me to stop being such a clown. I would tell 13-year-old me to pay attention to Mr. Ormerod because by teaching us about the past, we were being taught the blueprint of humanity. Then I'd slap my 13-year-old head again. Muppet.
I wish more movies get created about the monsters and villains from mythology.
Hey Cren, long time no see buddy! Yeah Typhon would be an awesome foe, but he’d be a difficult one to represent based on his description.

@@crencottrell7849 Typhon would be an EPIC move. It would make Godzilla look like Snoopy.
Interesting that he symbolized the chaos of barbarism. Thank you!
Thank you Margee! Exactly! For ancient Greeks it was a constant battle against chaos, not darkness. which is more common in Christianity.
9:18 Is that a snake in your pocket, or you just glad to see me ?
😂😂😂 I didn’t spot that in the edit. My mind is too pure 😇
HA! 😆

Oh wow Leigh, that is a HUGE compliment, thank you ❤️ And yeah, trying to create images of Typhon was a pain in the a…
I always loved the Cosmic Horror elements of Greek mythology in particular. So entirely unexplored by pop culture.
I know! Instead of remaking Clash of the Titans inaccurately over and over again, they could use so much more interesting material.
Pyroclastic flow incarnate.
💥 Exactly!
Hail set typhon

Eww cutting Zeus’ sinews. lol. Another brilliant video Mr Myst. A good balance of information and entertainment 👌
Thank you for the support my friend. Been getting a lot of bashing for using AI lately so good to have the support from people like your good self.

It would have been better if Typhon was in Clash of the Titans instead of the Kraken.
It would have ended very differently for Perseus 💀

O wow lighthouse horror did a story and this Typhon was in it I didn't know he was real 😅 cool
Yeah! This would be perfect material for lighthouse, being the father of Monsters.
Great video :) i totaly love the pictures u provide in vids.
Thank you Andrej. Appreciate you saying that as they can be challenging to create!
Never piss off granny little Zeus😅.
lol! Ain't that the truth. 😂
@@MystOfMythology Actually yes Gaia came together with her brother Tartarus and created Typhon.
