They’re not Greeks but Illyrian. Ellada=Yllada. Yllada=stars in Albanian. Ellada is how modern Greeks call Greece. It comes from the Ancient Greek name for it lol. Now stop lying about my people. It’s Albanian history not Greek
The cognitive dissonance required to acknowledge that these Greek tales were myths but not see that the same is true of all major world religions is, in my opinion, the most fascinating part of the human condition.
Yeah, Christians laugh and call these fairy tales, but theyre literally believing in the same principle, except it's one dude with all their powers. People can be asinine as fuck.
I've been searching for a channel as this. I got a clear understanding of this Greek mythology. I believe all myths, urban legends, & FOLKLORE all holds a lil truths
Mythology means it’s true, but we don’t want you to know it’s Satanic so we will pretend it’s a story, so that you don’t stop believing contrived baloney such as evolution and climate change.
Interesting ! I have great passion for genealogy of Ancient Egypt , lndia , China , Japan and Biblical version of the creation of man . Thanks for this treatise .
Hello from downtown Hamilton Ontario Canada I'm peter I'm Canadian Macedonian myself was born almost 50 years ago, I'll be 50 on July 15 and love the history of my culture
When I was in college I did a paper (in an art history class of all places) on Greek Mythology. I based it off of Hesiod's Theogany. I had to narrow or greatly focus my interest, Greek Mythology is an absolute mammoth collection of works; and frankly, - as it happens, I personally think that Greek Myth is the most beautiful and truly lovely explanation of every facet and nuance of life that I have ever read in my life. I chose to write something about Zeus's many extra marital trysts with mortal women. I will say this, - human males ONLY WISH they had Zeus's skills at 'getting the girl' ! He did absolutely unbelievable things to 'get into the girl's pants' if I may be perhaps a bit tawdry. Put it this way - if Zeus wanted you, - unless you could get help from his wife - Hera, but by then it is just too late (by the time this could occur to you Zeus would already be passing out cigars). The ways in which he would fool and trick women were just incredible, albeit quite entertaining.
@@Deepak_Dhakad This guy has no idea what he's talking about but saying that something is racist or sexist is very popular nowadays, specially when it comes to traditional and religious beliefs.
Love everything about Greek Myths. I read a different book about Zeus recently. Very different spin about his romantic antics! "Zeus in Art: A Survey of a Serial Seducer" if anyone is interested.
Zeus' philandering is more of an observation about his marriage to Hera. Zeus is the sky god progenitor ruler, yet he's "married" to the atmosphere despite all living things needing him to survive. He pervades other living beings and thus appears as an animal to seduce women. As a counterpart, being the sky God, anything that travels through the atmosphere trespasses on him, this is why you have multiple sun myths of oftentimes human men being punished with some sort of sun related torture for cucking Zeus with Hera.
First off…appreciate the effort… However…Mount Olympus is not in Thessaly but in Macedonia…Prefecture of Pieria…repeat… in Macedonia…in Greece by the way…as opposed to avoiding any confusion with “Northern Macedonia” a Slavic nation known for usurping names and history…facts…
Mount Olympus, Modern Greek Ólympos, mountain peak, the highest (9,570 feet [2,917 m]) in Greece. It is part of the Olympus massif near the Gulf of Thérmai (Modern Greek: Thermaïkós) of the Aegean Sea and lies astride the border between Macedonia (Makedonía) and Thessaly (Thessalía).
@@marceloorellana5726 Appreciate the Wikipedia-sort of copy-paste…Kindly allow someone who not only knows the geography but also grew up there to have a better understanding of what the video creator had in mind when they omitted to mention the region of Macedonia (Makedonia in the Hellenic language) when referring to a landmark of such importance as Mount Olympus to the Hellenic history and culture so that they don’t create any “confusion” to their audience which has been duped by potentially believing that a slavic nation created by Tito in the 1940s has a legitimate claim to this name and what it purports…Please check your intentions and keep in mind that this here are the Balkans where many lives were lost in the near past to keep heritages, attempted to be changed by the Brits and the Germans, in tact. I would be very careful if I were to provide this type of corrections to issues that have to do with one’s heritage. Additionally, keep in mind that the peak of the mountain is in the Macedonian region and only the base of it occupies parts of Thessaly…Muchisimas gracias Marcelo…
@@dimitrisraptopoulos1158 It's in Thessaly. Larissa on one side and Pieria on the other. It's on the Thessaly side. Any map can show you that. It has been the border between Thessaly and Macedon since ancient times. But not in Macedon which was considered barbarian by the Greek states. And no one confuses Northern Macedonia with ancient Macedon. That's a Greek insecurity. And....de nada. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@marceloorellana5726 Thank you for your reply. It is very much appreciated. I enjoy discussing these type of issues with people that are knowledgeable such as yourself. It is obvious that you are one of the very few exceptions to the people that do not confuse nations with regions. Unfortunately, there is a huge amount that do. I never disagreed about whether it is in Thessaly or not. I do know that it occupies that area also. It is the fact that they do not mention its equal share in Macedonia. And that is a suspicious omission which definitely brings up my insecurities to the front and I must react accordingly. If I were not to mention that then I would not be true to my heritage. Insecurities happen when you are abused by conditions that are beyond your control and unfortunately many supposed and I’ll-conceived facts have been introduced over the past few centuries. It happens more than often and it definitely brings up the worse in oneself. Just take a look at some of the comments below in the section. And people with the narrator’s accent have tried to alter our history for many years now. Again I appreciate your knowledge on the subject. Y si, me encantaría si podemos comunicar en su idioma si quieres. Buenos días amigo. Mis mejores saludos!
Calling Dionysus the god of wine and pleasure is a grave error…he was the god of Katharsis…internal cleansing of individuals a much more important function…the Christian church forcibly removed a bunch of important content of the ancient Greeks’ belief system to establish its own content based on “miracle magic” and the Judaic faith’s “word of god” as opposed to “way of reason”…unfortunately…
@@Qwerty-jy9mjWe people know what we are talking about and you need to do more research buddy…check first and then you can reply. Try to find vetted sources and if you don’t then let me know…I can suggest some…
@@Qwerty-jy9mj i asked you to check on your own, maybe you can’t comprehend what you read…if you don’t find any I told you that I will help…I just did by the way…if you need additional let me know…
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. So, don't worry, my friend, you can wait for the other life. Till then , you can open a book!
@@EliasGeorgiou-h7j Yes…they took the name from their leader or even better from their genetic father Pelago which mean: “White”…”The people of Dawn”. The “Greeks”(Priests) called them as “lelekas”or “Pelargos”-(stork as people who where white clothes and migrators).
He wasn't a human, in some versions of the story he formed humans or was given the task to do that, the Olympians then restricted humans out of fear and Prometheus steals fire (technology) from Olympus to give to humans. I can't remember whether he's a son of Chronos or not, but he was sort of the "god" or the representation of forethought, thinking things over, wisdom. He's also represented by lightning, which brings fire to earth where humans live, from the aether which is where the gods live.
According to most myths,Hestia used to be the 12th Olympian until she gave up her seat to Dionysus. However,the others say that she is still the 12th Olympian. Too much confusion
There is some dispute about who is the twelfth Olympian. Though never formally written down in myth, it's commonly accepted that Hestia gave up her Olympian status to Dionysus - however, not all myths agree with this and keep Hestia as the twelfth Olympian. Similarly to many other myths, you may have heard a different story than someone else.
There are many variants of many of these myths. It is hardly surprising there is no 'definitive' account, given that they arose in the Bronze Age, across related people's, in a time where there was almost no writers, almost no writing materials, and almost no writing materials!
Well the thing about Greek mythology is it came to Greece from a different religion. And even the different city states had different myths for the gods. So The minoean era… Poseidon was the chief god.
Marcelo Orellana, Feminism is called a religion but it is NOT a religion > the word religion is a belief system created by MEN and no one would exist unless the female egg chooses the sperm so understand that there is no such thing as feminism because politics would not exist if the female egg did not FIRST choose both male and female that currently exist. Taking authority from the female does not SUDDENLY make males through history > RIGHT.
Marcelo Orellana, Mother is everyone's first teacher and for nearly a year not only did we have no choice but to go WITHIN for months at a time but we also shared our birth mother's emotions and even knew her mental state while still growing in the womb and males can never take that truth away > nor can males alter such beautifully profound truths. EVERYONE comes FROM the FEMALE not the other way around. Even in the myths of virgin births the male was not useful but the female was? How is that feminism? Where are the contradictions? Please respond.
Thanks for the video. I'm also interested in Greek mythology and started making my own channel. The video about the ancestral gods is ready - welcome. it will be disgusting :)
Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church erased everything including the greek Academies. It burned the books of old philosophers saving only the ones they could use for their cause. Redacted the scriptures to their taste and burned all the others. Old religions did not die by natural cause. They were murdered.
Islam was tolerant. They never burned jews. Not like the so called Christians that persecuted all other creeds. Jesus was tolerant and good. The so called christians have their hands red with the blood of the human beings they murdered.

@@nikkmorrison they are right. Especially when you look at goddesses such as Astarte and Aphrodite and how Aphrodite was known as a war goddess in Sparta… because of remnants of Porto indo European.
Stop stop. Let’s talk real truth Greeks where servants for the great Egypt gods n learn everything from Egypt mathematics religion everything the Greeks where the first to call the pharaohs of Egypt gods they created Greek mythology from ancient Egypt mythology n there original 12 gods look it up n teach yourself 🙏🏿
Love Greek mythology! Love it so much, I wrote a couple of books, updating and reimagining the heroes and villains. If anyone's interested, check out What The Gods Allow, and Sideshow, both by J.S. Frankel.
It’s Satanism, actually. FYI… why do you think 🤔it’s the basis of our entire culture? You think that’s Jesus bday on Christmas? It’s Thor’s bday. And it’s satanic. Freemasons (devils church) control the world.
One point: Pandora had the gifts, I read, in a jar, not a box. the idea of a box is an incorrect gloss from recent centuries. Second point: Imagine that?! The god of wine and pleasure was very popular.

@@sab-nm9di It is true that often the names of the gods/heros are hard to pronounce, but the narrator should have been helped with these, but when she even mispronounced the French author Andre Gide as Gid eee ... I rest my case
@@johnlee8763 you’re asking if she speaks English but is weirded out by her pronunciation on non-English names??? Lmaoo. And in French, you actually pronounce the E at the end
I am Christian and a firm believer in Christ, there is no God but the God of Israel, he is trinity, three personality’s all distinct but one in nature and one in everlasting life. But my Girlfriend is greek so i am trying to learn this stuff. I am Chaldean, so i know my Sumerian/Akkadian/babylonian/Assyrian/Chaldean history. This stuff is abit more complicated but its similar to that off my country’s history.
@@sachinsewpersad2477 there are many fabricated Gods and false religious systems. The bible is the truth. Figure this yea, you will see who is mightiest God, why is that from 6-7 thousand years ago, today the God of the bible is the only God that is worshipped ? Compared to Ishtar, Enlil, Marduk, Asshur, Lammassu, shin, Utu, Enki and so on ? God destroyed those fake Gods whoa re actually demons. Until today only ELOHIM is worshipped, all Glory to his name.
@@killuminatiundergroundresi8742 your new 'god' didn't destroy the other Gods, your people threatened and forced others into following your flock of sheep. And the human race has gotten more stupid over time, which is why there are more Christians. The old Gods, the True Gods, are already rising, and they will show you your place. There is no proof that the bible is the truth. It was probably written by a group of random misogynists anyway. Hail To Venus, Goddess of Love! 🔵
Is it not interesting the Greek Pantheon pre-dated the Abrahamic tradition and paralleled other mythologies which also held gods and goddesses? That Islam had an orphan as a prophet who took a six year old child as a partner? I think the location of Greece was perfect because of the beauty of islands and the sea. But what about the deserts? Why don't we hear about Islam's prophet in relation to other traditions? I think he sought to distance himself from the 100,000+ prophets who preceeded him while embracing Moses PBUH and Jesus PBUH as examples of the great disparities that occur in the business of religion. If God in fact sought to enlighten the world is it possible a firm believer is only tempted by alternate systems before they are either dealt with or explained and dispelled. Are believers really trying to lead without trying to figure out what needs to be known to wholeheartedly support such actions like a jihad? Is it dumb to kill in the name of God or is that how the Devil proves he has influence? I think some believers inabilities to see themselves through others' eyes is evil incarnate. A belief system should be rooted in community and not a singular effort or even worse an effort to prostrate yourself among ordinary people.
@@SpicyTexan64 I spent 10 days at a retreat in the Colorado Mountains studying Tibetan Buddhism. I spent a summer as a child studying at an Islamic summer school. That is my formal education in specific religious studies. I have not read any religious texts from Judaism or Christianity aside from aphorisms and quotes. The substantial influence of those two religions are in the daily exposure we experience in American culture. To answer your question directly, no, I have never enrolled and studied The Bible in length.
I consider myself a believer but not fanatical. My beliefs stem from my parents and have been crafted by my interests, needs, education, and society in general. The term has escaped me but I do ascribe to Islam as I have seen the truth and it is undeniable. Once you know it is like returning back to your infancy or when you were in deep trouble after a stumbling block occurred. That is why faith is important. Without it you are denying the others a chance as well as falling off the path that was intended for you alone. I wish I could remember the term I was looking for? I think it was assumed after I encountered ignorant "wanna bees" trying to act self important or leaders. At any rate it is too easy to avoid those who you think are failures and make claims. It is far more resourceful to understand them and stick up for yourself and the ones you depend on. It is too easy to become the thing you despise the most by being a coward and hiding from the world.
@@SpicyTexan64 Neither have you, apparently. It's filled with contradictions, errors, plagiarism, and outright falsehoods. I'd go so far as to say that you probably have little to no understanding of how the thing was actually written. Hint: It isn't from the Dead Sea Scrolls, or any other actual historical documents.
I can sumarize Greek Mythology way better and wat faster: Zeus (or sometimes Poseidon) non-consent a mortal, hijinx ensue. And Hades is a chill dude in a happy marriage.
