Lauren Reacts! Every Greek God Explained in 11 Minutes--The Paint Explainer *Ooh! Something I know!* 

6:15 He was named Alcides by his human parents, and later was renamed Heracles in an unsuccessful attempt to appease Hera, with Heracles meaning Hera's "pride" or "glory".😊

A common misconception is Apollo was the Sun God of ancient Greek Mythology but in fact it was Helios who was the Sun God. Apollo was more a God of Light he did have a lot of dominion over the many aspects of ancient Greek society cause he was arguably the favorite god of Olympus

Since you're doing a video on myths, perhaps reacting to one of overly sarcastic production's myth videos would be cool. Perhaps one of Red's deep dives, like the one on Hermes or Hades and Persephone, or even the most recent one on the archer twins

Omg the mistakes he saying in the video One of is tha Athena was a child of Zeus but out site of marriage 😂 SHE WAS HE'S CHILD FROM HE'S 1ST MARRIAGE actually.

Videos like these remind me of my most hated project that was my first highschool greek mythology grade. We were reading Oedipus, and presumably to distract from the main take away from that story being incest, my teacher used it as an excuse to give everyone a greek god to do a report on. I was hyped for this, and my teacher knew it. We didn't get to pick the god, because basically everyone would have said "Hercules" because that's the extent of most 15yr olds knowledge of greek mythology, and they're already going to be wrong because they think Kevin Sorbo and Disney's animated movie are appropriate sources of info. They're entertaining AF, just not accurate. That's fine, I knew the majority of the pantheon at that point. I was low key hoping for Hephaestus. Still one of my favorite origin stories, and in general a favorite craft. I didn't get him, I got a different god starting with an 'H'. Was it Hermes the messenger god? No. Was it Hades, god of the underworld? No. Was it Hermaphrodite, that would have been interesting...but no. It was Hestia.... Who the fuck is Hestia? One google search later "Are you fucking kidding me?" To summarize, she's the goddess of housewives. And that's about it. I got an A even though I was planning to fail out of spite, because I spent my whole speaking time talking about how she is arguably the most boring god of greek mythology. You can debate me on this, though as you can probably tell, I have a very biased opinion given the experience.

Don't you just love it when "Explaining" videos get basic stuff so very wrong? Or when they pretend to talk about a subject as they were experts on it but then don't even get the basics right? Talking about greek mythology - uses Herakles' ROMAN name Talking about greek mythology - presenting a ROMAN fan fiction as Medusas actual story Talking about each god and their parentry - claiming Athena didn't have a mother Talking about the gods' aspects - claiming Persephone was a fertility goddess Talking about greek mythology - claiming Zeus ordered Hades to give Persephone back when he was the one who ordered the kidnapping in the first place and Hades let her go without orders 🤦‍♂️

Funny thing is that this isn’t even close to half of the Greek gods, this is mostly just the Olympians and some others, but still

The are more more greek gods...

Only interesting was Nike - wonder if company has got sued for using Her Name, LOL?? And off course Pandora is shown as a woman - only lady would open a box that's strictly forbidden to open... 🤓 🤓
