In this episode Heracles faces his most formidable trials yet - Picking apples - Fighting dog - Maintaining a healthy marriage (Gone wrong) (Gone acidic)
"Isn't the sky supposed to be a god?" I have to imagine Ouranos, the sky god, is just watching space Netflix or something and is using Atlas as a convenient back rest.
Heracles: "Hey, Uncle Hades, can I take Spot out for walkies?" Hades: "Oh yes, please, he has been getting incredibly antsy lately." Heracles: "Sweet, I'll show him to my cousin, he's going to freak!"
For anyone who doesn't know, the only reason Nessus' blood was poisonous was because Heracles shot him with those arrows that he coated the tips of with the poisonous blood of the Hydra from his second labor.
Hydra blood is so spicy that when Heracles accidentally shot Chiron the Sage with one the guy begged to have his immortality stripped away just so he could have relief in death. It's really nasty stuff.
Fun fact: before remarrying, Heracles did some revenging (which involved multiple murders and sacking Troy) got himself sentenced to two more years of repentance labour to a different person, easily wrestled Thanatos (the Literal god of death) to the ground and almost got into a fight with Apollo and that’s not mentioning the gigantomachy.
@@videogollumer heracles invaded Troy, Elis (the kingdom of Augias, the guy of the previous video), and the kingdom of Euritos, he made war with them and eventually killed most of their sons so maybe is this what the guy is talking about. The gigantomachy happened while Heracles was mortal. The giants were indestructible as long as a especifially mortal hero did not hurt them, because they would became mortal again and could be killed. Actually this is why Zeus fathered Heracles, to make the perfect hero to help the gods against the giants. However each author puts that history in diferent points of his life, but was during his mortal life.
@@videogollumer I think @charliefarmer4365 is referring to the time Heracles accidentally punched a servant boy (Eunomus) in the face so hard that he died.
Fun fact: not a moment after the labors were completed Hera drove Heracles insane again but this time he had to serve a queen. He wore dresses and sewed while the queen wore his Nemean Lion skin. It backfired because Heracles grew to like sewing.
A common misconception or just difference in other depictions, is that he held up the sky, but a very common depiction of atlas is that he wasn’t just holding up the sky, he was holding the entire galaxy, doesn’t make much sense but I find it kinda funny he just was…..holding reality itself, which was depicted as infinite in Greek mythology
2:28 I just really love the mental image of Hades an intimidating God, baby talking to Cerberus 2:43 Also how many takes did it take to get that scream
I like to think that Deianeira just knew what her name meant and thought "Best way to make my name accurate is to kill the manliest man..... Unfortunately Thor isn't here so Heracles will do"
It is odd if ya' think aboot it how Hercules kinda won out over Heracles as the name most people say, because that's basically the only Roman name I can think of that's like that. For the most part all the other major Grecoroman mythological characters either go by their Greek and Roman names interchangeably for most people or there's a slight Greek bias if anything. Zeus/Jupiter, Poseidon/Neptune, Hades/Pluto, etc., people generally play it pretty fast and loose with all that stuff. But it's almost always Hercules as opposed to Heracles. I wonder why that is...
it rolls of the tongue better and disney solidified it. The only other one to go by their roman name sometimes is poseidon and neptune (although I think poseidon is the more popular one), but nobody calls zeus or hades jupiter and pluto.
@@projekttaku1 Neptune is sometimes used in spongebob as a non-Greek non-Roman non-god king but other than that I think most things still use Poseidon (idk not very common)
I don’t think it’s Disney. I’m pretty sure Disney picked the name Hercules BECAUSE it was the more well known name. I think the name Hercules has been used in English literature a lot more. The term “Herculean” as an adjective has been used since the 16th century. I mean hell, Hercules is an actual NAME given to real people but I’ve never heard of anyone named Heracles
Not calling Hercules "Herakles" is a Herculean task within itself.... right? Heracles, Hercules, Herakles, HERC. Out of all the Greek myths, Herc is the one with the most... people, Gods, families, anger, luck.. The most issues. And yes, I see you over there Oedipus and I acknowledge you.
my headcanon for 00:55 is the sky is trying to kiss the earth in that spot and atlas needs to hold it up because if they kiss the earth around those mountains (greece) will be flattened
some content ideas: Orpheus and Eurydice, Bacchae, Theseus and Minatour, Trojan War (or just Illiad or Odyssey idk), icarus, eros and psyche, narcissus, theogony, io, song of achilles book, ares being captured by horny giants, midas, apollo's partners/victims, thanatos, river styx, achilles and patroclus, diomedes, sons of atreus, which gods are from greece and which gods are from anatolia/troy side, sisyphus, furys, fates.
2:13 tldr pirithus planed to kidnap persefone and turn her into his wife, hades heard about the stupid stunt this two idiots were doing and when pirithus and Theseus enter the underworld he sat them in two chair that sprouted snake and glued them to their seat’s 3:05 also I think deianeira name translated to “husband killer” You should do the story of Medea it’s really cool
Yeah, Jason gets punished for cheating on her, and she gets off Scot-free for several accounts of murder, murder, murder, and MORE murder! That lady was a witch by profession AND by character, disgusting. 😒
@@omarsalem1219 Except Zeus actually allowed Hades to take her. As for Demeter, yeah, the whole attitude was "Nuts to her!"; she definitely would have said no.
@@coffetrueno9791 Actually, Demeter got Persephone back (for one half to two thirds of the year) technically BY doing nothing; by which I mean she went on strike until her daughter was returned to her, inadvertently causing the first winter.
Cerberus/Kerberos "Ker" means "Death Spirit" Kerberos' name perhaps means "Death-Daemon of the Dark" from the ancient Greek words kêr and erebos(darkness).
Jake probably got so mad after he realised he didn't draw the little dots on Cerberus' right facing head (the little whisker things that the other two have)
Theseus and Pirithous: short version. Pirithous wants to marry Persephone. He and Theseus go into the Underworld to capture her. It goes as well as you would expect.
@@matthewcarlyon5133 What part, that I did/didn't watch them yesterday, or Jake couldn't have timed it better. If the former, Imagine calling someone you don't even know a liar, absolute cretin.
In this episode Heracles faces his most formidable trials yet
- Picking apples
- Fighting dog
- Maintaining a healthy marriage (Gone wrong) (Gone acidic)
(Gone Greek tragic)
(Gone RUclips animated)
At least after his death, he got Hebe. And since he didn't have any other wives after that, seems Herc and Hebe are doing well.
Not even fighting, just walking a cute triple puppy
Now that's what I call a *toxic* relationship

"Isn't the sky supposed to be a god?"
I have to imagine Ouranos, the sky god, is just watching space Netflix or something and is using Atlas as a convenient back rest.
I personally thought it was so Ouranos didn't have more children.
Ouranos was castrated by Chronos tho
@@claudio6391 Well I guess Zeus just didn't want his grandpa having sex.
@@michaelnettles3059 cockblocking his grandaddy.
Hercules just held up his Great Grandpa for... however long it took Atlas to fetch the apples.
Heracles: "Hey, Uncle Hades, can I take Spot out for walkies?"
Hades: "Oh yes, please, he has been getting incredibly antsy lately."
Heracles: "Sweet, I'll show him to my cousin, he's going to freak!"
Lol

@@OrphicPolytheist thats cool
@@OrphicPolytheist they are interconnected, but they don't have any specific timeline by any means
So how is nessus still alive unlike the other centaurs from pt.1?
@@alwafia.382 no, why would you think that?
Hooray! We finally get the thrilling conclusion to the Heracles trilogy
Yup it’s a Greek Miracle
Yes
Yep after this Hera kindly asked him to kill some small white skinned man with a marking and that’s where we truly see his conclusion
*“And 2 seconds later you wake up”*
This needs a movie
Fun fact: before remarrying, Heracles did some revenging (which involved multiple murders and sacking Troy) got himself sentenced to two more years of repentance labour to a different person, easily wrestled Thanatos (the Literal god of death) to the ground and almost got into a fight with Apollo and that’s not mentioning the gigantomachy.
Care to elaborate on the child murders you speak of? Also, did the Gigantomachy happen before or after Heracles got promoted to godhood?
@@videogollumer heracles invaded Troy, Elis (the kingdom of Augias, the guy of the previous video), and the kingdom of Euritos, he made war with them and eventually killed most of their sons so maybe is this what the guy is talking about.
The gigantomachy happened while Heracles was mortal.

@@sonofcronos7831 "Sons" doesn't necessarily mean "children". I mean, how old are we talking about?
@@videogollumer I think @charliefarmer4365 is referring to the time Heracles accidentally punched a servant boy (Eunomus) in the face so hard that he died.
@@History-yq5ou He said "multiple". Also, how old was he, and was Hercules meaning to punch him but not kill him or was it entirely accidental?
Fun fact: not a moment after the labors were completed Hera drove Heracles insane again but this time he had to serve a queen. He wore dresses and sewed while the queen wore his Nemean Lion skin. It backfired because Heracles grew to like sewing.
2:42 lost my shit from how he screamed when Cerberus was dropped 😂
A common misconception or just difference in other depictions, is that he held up the sky, but a very common depiction of atlas is that he wasn’t just holding up the sky, he was holding the entire galaxy, doesn’t make much sense but I find it kinda funny he just was…..holding reality itself, which was depicted as infinite in Greek mythology
Isn't the reason Atlas has to hold up the sky because the god who is the sky (Orius I think his name is) is dead? Killed by the Titans?
@@artcasual99 Ouranos.
@@yusheitslv100 Thank you I knew it began with an O but I couldn't remember
@@artcasual99 nah, he's alive, but castrated.
@@artcasual99 He wasn't killed, he was just dethroned with his children having privelege being removed
2:28 I just really love the mental image of Hades an intimidating God, baby talking to Cerberus
2:43 Also how many takes did it take to get that scream
2:30
this is definitely the funniest part of the video imo
pupper cerberus wants his walkies.
Been waiting to see the goodest boy in all of Greek Mythos and he was delivered beautifully!
heracles was literally the nicest greek god
@@projekttaku1 think he was talking about Cerberus
@@projekttaku1 He literally committed several instances of manslaughter.
@@declicitous1763 my point still stands.
@@videogollumer notice I said nicest *greek god*
2:29 2:30 2:31 Cerberus is just a normal dog but with 3 heads and never thought Cerberus would be a normal dog
There is a version of the Atlas labor where Herakles is a total bro and goes "Why not just build a pillar, and we can both be free?"
I want a animated movie just entirely in this style.
same
i love how everyone agree hades loves his dog so much and it’s so adorable
Hades: Cerberus! You want to go on a walk? You ready for walkies? You want to go on a walk? Oh, you want to go on a walk.
Me: It's so cute!
That scream at 2:43 was so genuine.
I like to think that Deianeira just knew what her name meant and thought
"Best way to make my name accurate is to kill the manliest man..... Unfortunately Thor isn't here so Heracles will do"

The voice acting for Nessos' final words is...amazing. How do you did you gain such amazing vocal range?
I love Achelous’s design
You design Greek gods so well you should have more subscribers
Amazing, Hera finally got the *Hera*py she needed. 😥🙏
*Herapy
@@bootyspoon4675 OMG YES
THAT WAS HORIBLE
@@arturvasques3376 >:O
Even worse,It was herable
6 seconds in, already laughed and then clicked like. Thank you, as always, for your time, efforts, and patience.
3:48 -5 hitpoints was another Genius interpretation by JakeW
I just binge watched all the Heracles vids, GREAT JOB!!! I'm subscribing!!!
Atlas literaly holding a png of the sky in the best joke i ever heard in a while
Happens to the best of us, Jake. It's not your fault that the mythical Greco-Roman hero's first big movie was Italian made.
Finally I've been waiting this one, for a long time!
I’ve been waiting for this video.
Again a beautiful masterpiece by Jake
Thanks for making these videos
been waiting for this.
YEESSSSSS ITS FINALLY OUT THANK YOU JAKE I LOVE YOUR CARTOONS ABOUT GREEK AND MYTHOLOGY VIDEOS
I have awaited this for a while now 😭
the animation gets more, and more realistic by the episode. Amazingggggg
Finally we got it and it is very good
NICE JOB, JAKE
Always a good day when jake uploads
2 months to animate, research, and re validate misinformation is actually pretty impressive
ITS FINALLY HERE!
The legends back
Thanks for the cool video chief. I like the funny Hades
Love the Humor, Great Video!
Hey Jake, could you make more videos about Egyptian Mythology? Love your channel, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️
This is really good! I think you should do some sort of summary for the Odyssey
Not calling Hercules "Herakles" is a Herculean task within itself.... right?
Heracles, Hercules, Herakles, HERC. Out of all the Greek myths, Herc is the one with the most... people, Gods, families, anger, luck..
The most issues. And yes, I see you over there Oedipus and I acknowledge you.
thank you for the story!!!
my headcanon for 00:55 is the sky is trying to kiss the earth in that spot and atlas needs to hold it up because if they kiss the earth around those mountains (greece) will be flattened
Ayyyyy new Heracles content!
2:28 You managed to make a monster dog look like something that I would pet.
Love your videos btw could you do a video about cool artifacts
As an animator, I whole heartedly understand the "BECAUSE ANIMATION TAKES A WHILE"
I already know this is gone be good.
leesssss goooooo more Heracles content!
Okay, Great! Now do a video on Kindgon Hearts Lore!!
I love how all he needed to do was just ask his uncle If he can take his dog to a walk
Love this!
Atlas is so happy at his chiropractor appointment!!😂
Great vid
Woohoo we need more
That thumbnail is perfection
Let's go, part 3
Hi I love your videos! Idea: Do Perseus!
And that's the story of how Hercules became one of the most broken servants in all of fate
@JakeDoubleyoo Love your videos! What about Jason and the argonauts? Achilles? Odysseus?
finally, this is out
3:01 Achelous is my fav
Finally the last part
Finally, now I have them all
So the poll was to distract us? Either way new video so can't complain.
Ah, Spots, always nice to see them.
Favorite youtuber
That scream at 2:43 is sending me to hades
some content ideas: Orpheus and Eurydice, Bacchae, Theseus and Minatour, Trojan War (or just Illiad or Odyssey idk), icarus, eros and psyche, narcissus, theogony, io, song of achilles book, ares being captured by horny giants, midas, apollo's partners/victims, thanatos, river styx, achilles and patroclus, diomedes, sons of atreus, which gods are from greece and which gods are from anatolia/troy side, sisyphus, furys, fates.
he's holding up the sky to keep Ouranos and Gaia apart.
So it's less that he's holding up the sky than that he's holding them both back
Shu: *First time?*
2:13 tldr pirithus planed to kidnap persefone and turn her into his wife, hades heard about the stupid stunt this two idiots were doing and when pirithus and Theseus enter the underworld he sat them in two chair that sprouted snake and glued them to their seat’s
3:05 also I think deianeira name translated to “husband killer”
You should do the story of Medea it’s really cool

2.43 how long did it take to get that scream? It was golden 😂
I'm liking commenting and subscribing
Hades been the chillest best homie 😂
After all these years....
I finally have them all.
Do the death of Helios I know it's hard to explain people what titians are but I think it's a very much needed video
Jake: uploads
Us: A blessing from the lord
YASSS THANK YOU FINALLY
This wait felt as long as the odyssey
The fourth wall break!
The reason to sub, like, comment and more
Imagine just one day in ancient ancient greece just before the trojan war you see the literal sky being thrown
I wanna know how that would look
"So how did you finally die?"
"The relationship with my wife became....toxic."
I've heard Cerberus means Spotted, so the Three Headed Hellhound is named Spot. Any confirming?
Cerberus/Kerberos
"Ker" means "Death Spirit"
Kerberos' name perhaps means "Death-Daemon of the Dark" from the ancient Greek words kêr and erebos(darkness).
I was wondering if you could cover the myth of Cupid and psyche
We waited a year for this
Jake probably got so mad after he realised he didn't draw the little dots on Cerberus' right facing head (the little whisker things that the other two have)
DO THE MINOTAUR MYTH PLZ IM DYING OVER HERE
Heracles 3: This Time It's Personal.
I find it interesting that every time we see Jake in pictures, he's got glasses, but his drawn version never has glasses on.
Theseus and Pirithous: short version.
Pirithous wants to marry Persephone. He and Theseus go into the Underworld to capture her. It goes as well as you would expect.
2:24 is my favorite part
You forgot about Hebe, goddess of youth becoming the consort of Heracles.
I only just watched Parts 1 & 2 yesterday, you literally couldn't have timed this better 😌
That's literally not true.
@@matthewcarlyon5133 What part, that I did/didn't watch them yesterday, or Jake couldn't have timed it better.
