Hi! We just released our first comic book on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Check it out and let us know what you guys think - Medusa: The Cursed Priestess - Link: amzn.to/39OjMYU
@@GunnerLegend Google the definition of "Mythology" These are stories that have been passed down from thousands of years. Some stories are based in truth, yet exaggerated. And some most likely not real as they are so outlandish at times.
Thanatos:"Zeus someone just interrupted my job. Again" Zeus:"HE SHALL BE PUNISHED IN SUCH A WAY THAT HE-" Thanatos:"It was your son." Zeus:"Understandable, have a great day"
@@treshkun6257 Well he is Death Incarnate. The only other deities who can do his job are Hades, who is too busy managing an endlessly expanding kingdom of the dead, and Iapetus the Titan of mortality who is locked up somewhere in Tartarus
@@spartanwarrior1 he didn't hate them, he didn't cared that much about them since they weren't part of his domninon. He was neutral in their problems but since he rules the underworld he still gives them riches in forms of minerals and seeds for the plants to grow. Also if their souls weren't taken to the underworld it would be chaos with all of them running around the place.
They didn't fully explain the myth in the video, but Heracles partially did it because he was ashamed for making Admetus house him while grieving for his wife.
@@irsyadsyauqi3105 Hypnos wakes up from his nap "w-wh-wha? did call me?!" Asks Hypnos excitedly "NO! I'm talking about your other brother" Nyx throws a brush at Hypnos' head which knocks him out
Not really. He basically threw himself into a funeral pyre, took on his full god form and lived as a official god of strength.even got married to a goddess if I'm right.
@@Asphyx12 I think kratos was the personification of strength, while Hercules was ths god of strength, which means he was the most graceful and honourable version of strength.
Herkules sounds like a lvl 20 dnd character. "Oh you were nice to me, lemme help you out by literally fighting death itself." Followed by a Nat20 for the strength-check and win.
"What are you talking about? You are a god yourself, so act like one. I'm here to do my job. You can always take my job if you so wish, but I just want to finished my job and return to my girlfriend, so if you please?"
I also really like the version where Hercules literally goes to the underworld and begs Hades to give back the spirit of Alcestis. He tells a whole story about how strong their love is and how they are not ready to part. Hades, moved by the friendship Hercules has for Admetus, agrees to help out and allowes Alcestis to return to the land of the living and spend the rest of her live with her husband and children. Admetus was so grateful for the good act, he gives Heracles many gifts!
There is a french channel called "Histoire et Mythologie en BD" who steal your work without saying anything about you, they basically just translate your videos. Just so you know...
this was a good story to inspire people to conduct yourselves well even in the face of something as terrible as imminent death. to treat others well even when you are hurting. This will have powerful effects in our lives. these myths are soo good!
this is the first greek mythology I have encountered that had a happy ending. I was worried about their relationship falling apart the entire time. I'm glad they didn't.
Death was finality in Greek Mythology, the final frontier. The Underworld was not a very cheerful place, there were 3 places you could go. The First is Tartarus, the lowest reaches of the underworld, it is a deity itself, a living, desolate and fiery pit where those hated by the gods were kept. The inhabitants of Tartarus include a number of the Titans, the Gigante Tityus, the infamous three being Ixion, Sisyphus and Tantalus and previously the Hecatoncheires (Hek-uh-tahn-ker-eez) whose name translates to "Hundred handed ones" and there were three of them Briareus (sometimes known as Aegaeon), Cottus and Gyges, and also their brothers the Cyclopes being Steropes, Brontes and Arges. The second destination was where most souls went, the Asphodel meadows or Fields of Asphodel, not much is known of this place but it is said to be a dark place where flowers that only grow in the underworld, named Asphodel, grow. The highest destination were the Elysian Fields, also known as Elysium, where heroes and other great humans were sent after death, it was said to be similar to life, although less enjoyable.
"He had the god Apollo stay at his homes when he would fall out with Zeus" Apollo: Hey.... I had a fight with my dad, -he so doesn't get me. Can I come over? You know..crash on your couch? I'll park my flaming chariot outside and I won't even be there in the morning because, you know, I'm the god of the sun?
I had a very weird dream today- I saw hercules statue moving and chewing on chicken thighs while I was in the car with my parents escaping from asteroids falling from space- I didn't knew it was hercules but my dad said he was hercules in my dream-
Neat little mix-up from the usual formula here. Felipe's art is quality and the webcomic format definitely worked well here. If you guys wanna explore doing more entries in this Mythological Comics series sometimes, that's fine by me! :D
I have read many greek myths in my time. But never heard or read this stroy. Makes a change that nobody died....there are some good endings in some story's. But rare . Exp: Cupid and psyche. Great art work. Maybe you should try and get a part time job at D C comics or marvel comics. Be safe all .😊
Hooray!! What a beautiful and happy story! BTW: being really new here to the channel, the cartoon style of story-telling is really good. Although, I would cut down on the extreme (deforming) transitions: those interfere with the good flow of story telling, rather than enhancing it. IMHO.
I kind of like the version better where Heracles arrived after the death of Alcestis but was still recieved as a guest. however Admetus told him a servent girl died not wanting to upset his guest. then he left to mourn at the tomb of his wife. Heracles waiting in the main hall drinking and singing crude songs from their time on the Argo. but he didn't understand why everybody was looking so shocked at him. when he finally asked a servant what their deal was they told him about Alcestis's death. then he was ashamed of his beheviour and mad Admetus didn't tell him. So he left emidiately. After a while he found Admetis at the tomb. He offered his condolences and presented him with a veiled women as a present. "I'm sure you'll like her, it was a hard fight to win her" Heracles said. Admetis not knowing how to tell his guest that tat was very inapropriate without offending him. So he told him that he couldn't accept the gift becouse of the promise he made to Alcestis. Heracles pretended to be mad and told him that he was making him look like a fool and declineng made him from his friend to his enemy. Admetis ofcourse shocked about this hesitently accepted. then he lifted her vail up and to his utter astonishment and joy he saw Alcestis looking back at him. They fell into eachothers hands as Heracles explained that he went after Thanaton and fought him before he had even reached the house of Hades. And so they lived long and happily ever after becouse of Heracles the jokester.
im trying to figure out what the story interprets. I assume the malays of Thanatos was interpreted for cancer and that the king had little time before it took his life.
I half expected to hear that the queen walked out of the room, healthy and alive... and "Miraculously" pregnant with a "Divine" child. You know... cuz 'Hercules'.
