Most Powerful Greek Gods (Ranked) 

I knew there would be this comment

Taking it a step further, I would say he was truly one of the gods to exist “of all time.”

I was searching for this comment

Morbius.

He was made a god, wasn't born one, made one.

You mean cratus (he killed zeus and heracles)

@@ntplaysytshorts238 I think he means Kratos from the games

Kratos in the games wasn't accurate. And in mythology he was weak I'm pretty sure

@@twixtys3121 its a joke.

@@alexisdrodriguez785 kratos is a. real god because he’s the god of strength

‘Titaness’, no, the term Titan in Greek Mythos was a title, Métis, is well as the other Titans are gods as well

She actually turned into a drop of water and he swallowed her

That's one myth. Another her mother is rhea

@@-_-user2435 There are a lot of different myths so some may not include that

Zeus one day had a terrible headache and hyphestus hit his head with an axe and athena pop up.. that's how athena came to this world she didn't had a natural birth

Heracles was a demigod while Dionysis was a real god and an Olympian. Although, later it is said in some of the myths that after Heracles died Zeus turned him into a god but it is not consistent in all of the myth.

@@arjunathalye4697 Then again, Consistency isnt a strong point in greek mythology and it often varies from version to version

@@arjunathalye4697 Also it looks like his ascending to Olympus is recounted in the homeric hymn to him

Hercules is more like a hero figure than God honestly, He was not worshipped actually that much, people rarely found his temples or myths related where he had acted as god. Where dionysus is actually 85% god most probably, because His maternal grandmother Harmonia was Ares's daughter technically, from Dionysus is Ares's Great grandson, His father Cadmus was Poseidon's grandson. So technically Dionysus was a lot more godly than Hercules.

I believe Dionysus although demi-god was still an Olympian

Yes!

I don’t think any of that happened bro

@@SaudiSportsScene bruh, it’s Greek mythology which is what ancient Greeks believed and made up so surely it’s not real

@@SaudiSportsScene it's the Greek mythology,stranger things have happened there.

@@SaudiSportsScene it's Greek mythology what do you expect?

This is true 👍

And besides, even if Zeus ruled over the skies, Hades will soon get everything his brothers had as all living beings of earth joins him in Hades

But posidein can control fish and clouds

If we follow the canon of Age of Mythology, it was Poseidon who was very jealous to Zeus and Hades was like "Meh!"

@@Tribrid-zv3nq actually you’re wrong he could do both my guy. You thought you got them huh?

Starting a war doesn't necessarily make you powerful, but I would definitely put Eris over people like Morpheus

Agreed. Where the other deities were running around causing indiscriminate chaos, death, and who knows what else, Hades was perfectly fine doing the job he was given.

Absolutely Zeus and Poseidon were a lot worse

They said that in the video.

I've always loved their story.

Hades was also faithful to Persephone, which is saying a lot.

Not so much with Nyx. Nyx is the goddess/primordial of night, yes, but not darkness. Her brother, Erebus, is the god/primordial of darkness. Together they made destruction and whatnot

@@wulaeofthetengu8336 My apologies, I meant how detailed their appearance was in this video

@@ThrillSeeker3524 Made my nethier regions look like the dudes arm

@@wulaeofthetengu8336 The Nigh? So like, she makes the sky turn black, but she's not the God of Darkness, her brother is? "Night" is quite an interesting thing to be a God of 😅

@@wulaeofthetengu8336 yeah they had to make Nyx scary cause Zeus was scared of her

I'm surprised that Nemesis the Primordial Goddess of Vengeance, and Retribution wasn't on here as not only was she Nyx's firstborn child making her the elder sibling of Thanatos, Hypnos, Eris, and the Fates but all 12 Olympians including the big 3 Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades have a healthy mix of fear and respect for her. Heck according to one myth Hera due to being in one of her infamous Yandere rages convinced herself that Helen as in the infamous Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus due to him having affair with another woman, and the woman Hera thought was Helen's mother was Nemesis and Hera deciding to use common sense made the call to not ruin Helen's life, along with making another smart call in choosing not to accuse/confront Nemesis over this supposed affair due to fearing that if she pulled these stunts Nemesis would bring her vengeful wrath down on her.

Same as Gaia, the mention of Khaos which should be no1 and the mistake of Cronus and Chronos

Yes and she defeated her Uncle Poseidon in giving the Greeks something useful thus they honored her by naming Athens after her... I admire wise, intelligent people more than I admire anyone else....

Agreed!

And let's not forget she was the only one of Zeus's children capable of controlling her temperament. Ares,on the other hand, was pretty much ruled by his emotions. To pile on the arguments against him. He was bested by the crippled Hephaestus.

@@lilletrille1892 true. He shouldn't have banged his brother's wife...

@@lilletrille1892 heck, that's why she always beats him whenever they fight, he can never act with any sort of restraint. This lets her use her greatest talent, her brain, to completely outmatch him.

And the fates are more powerful than even the olympians

@@shaunsomera4183 The Fates, Nyx, Erebus, Chaos, the primordial beings all trump the Olympians, Tartarus should be higher than just about any of the Olympians.

Poseidon an amphirite is the most wholesome story for me! But that's just because poseidon is my fav of all. I think zeus and hades understand love and romance. Zeus is the ultimate match maker because he found true love and couldn't handle it.

@@idigamstudios7463 there are many versions of Zeus where he controls the fates and no, Tartarus would not win as he has no feats. The whole "primordials are stronger than olympians" is not supported by actual mythology

@@hulkross8431 just because you don’t have fates dosent mean anything also fyi nyx would stop Zeus and so would her two other primordial children just because no feats dosent mean anything and she birthed the stars

😂

Who asked?

@@user-sz2px8pv3fWhy?

I’m mostly familiar with Greek mythology but I didn’t know that about Zeus

Another variation was Apollo didn’t trust him and tricked her into shooting him

@@historydude6022 interesting.

Yes! I second this!

Vedic or Indian Gods are strongest and most powerful. I think they are true definition of God. Other mythology gods are more of super-powered humans.

@@riderchallenge4250 Which is why most people in the west prefer these gods over the indian gods

Yes, that's correct. The ancient Greek myth of Atlas primarily portrayed him as carrying the celestial spheres or the heavens on his shoulders, not the planet Earth specifically. The image of Atlas holding the Earth as a globe didn't become popular until much later, during the Renaissance period. It was influenced by the idea of a geocentric universe, where the Earth was considered the center of the universe and all celestial bodies revolved around it. This idea was popularized by the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy and was widely accepted until the heliocentric model was proposed by Copernicus and later confirmed by Galileo.

Actually one of the myths is that Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and resultingly married him.

@@treeezy1472 There are multiple versions of this myth. The kidnapping is the most common, but I think it is way more plausible that Persephone went willingly, since she never tried to escape. Also Hades truly loved his wife. He is one of the only gods who didn’t cheat on his/her significant other (don’t know everything about this specific detail so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)

@@rubenthys3867 Nah you pretty much got it down right. Hades is one of the more loyal companions in all of Greek Mythology. And yea it's more plausible in terms of human aspects. I'm not sure if a minor goddess like Persephone would have wanted smoke with Hades😂 but there are multiple versions of myths for a reason lol, just gotta acknowledge them all at this point.

Persephone waltzing down to the Underworld herself came from a Charlene Spretnak’s Lost Goddesses: A Collection of Pre-Hellenic Myths in the very old era of 1978 in her *very* washed-down myths book that she wrote for her daughter, nerfing and kid-friendly-ifying the myths so all the assault and kidnapping and badonkadonk shenanigans wasn’t an issue. In the older Greek myths as the Greeks knew it though, Hades kidnapped Persephone with the blessing and order of Zeus, who is Persephone’s father and decided that “ehhhh there’s no way Demeter would be okay with this, just kidnap her it’ll be fine :D” Persephone *did* agree to marry Hades and all that junk, and when Hermes came down (on Zeus’ orders because Demeter’s killing the planet with her sulk-induced winter and famine meant a lack of people to do sacrifices and the only way to remedy that was to give Demeter what she wants: Persephone herself), Hades allowed Persephone to go to her mom, and because Persephone was a bit homesick, Hades vowed to her that he’d be the best husband he can be for her, and that she as his wife would become a queen of queens and ruler of the Underworld alongside him Spretnak aside, I like to think that Persephone caught on very quickly that Hades kidnapping her was a thing her dad A-okay-ed and thus this dood was her husband now, and she warmed up to him and accepted him because he was very nice, loyal and a good husband And yes, Persephone does go up to be with Demeter for a fraction of the year (that fraction in question varies depending on who you ask), and she does go down to be with Hades for the rest of the year- Demeter thus causes winter when Persephone leaves to be with Hades

1. She was kidnapped 2. She ate part of a pomegranate fruit which made her stay down there because hades had cast a spell on it, but that’s just another version of the myth, so there isn’t really a right or wrong

There is Chronos and Kronos bro Kronos is king of all Titans,father of zeus,and lord of time but Chronos is beyond time space itself said in mythology and is the essence of time itself cause he exist time exist in mythology

They are 2 completely different beings, Chronos as they mistook here was a primordial god along the lines of Gaea, Nyx, Erebus, etc and came before Cronus

🤓

@@blablaplays 🤓" 🤓 "

Plus Hercules is the Roman version heracules is the Greek name

@@jasonw95 Um, what does Heracules/Hercules have to do with Zeus and Hades relationship outside of a Disney movie?

Not to forget Hades has the best position long term as he eventually becomes king of all

Actually he didn't kidnapped Persephone it was an arranged marriage and the two Actually have the most wholesome relationship ship out of all the gods 🤓

Who said they hated each other tho

He was cautious of nyx because she would destroy him. That’s why

I agree love that author

Absolutely

I agree about Nyx, but it is Inforgraphics's opinion. He told in 12:23

The primordial are not the most powerful they should actually be the weakest

@@bruther7892 and why is that? From some texts athena once faced tartarus and dropped her spear in fear. also it is said that tartarus could destroy the olympians with a single thought.

@@bruther7892 the primordial gods were entities that were basically not comprehensible for humans, they were the forces of nature. they were everything. they were no simple beings.

Khaos being first and foremost as the originator of all

@@ClappingSuccubiCheeks Well first came Khaos and then the primordial, then the titans then the Olympians, its not hard to follow

No, they are not. The Fates themselves were basically descendants of Anake, the primordial of destiny(something like that). Outside of the children of chaos and the other main primordials, The Fates are the strongest. But this list was flawed once they so heavily underrated Tartarus. He was more than the god of the place, he was the very embodiment of the whole thing. Primordials are said to be the closest thing to the personification of their elements. Easily outclasses the rest

Weren't there giants that were meant to destroy them? I mean they have the job of controlling destiny but outside that they can't quite fight against another god if this decided it didn't like fate, and also they weren't like unreachable Apollo made them drunk and convinced them to change someones fate once

@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 Tf he only reason I'd say the dates are stronger than the gods and titans is because they were able to put restrictions on them, restrictions that most Gods/Titans avoided heavily. The Fates are never really shown to fight truly, but they are feared and still enforce a bit of control over the Gods.

@@treeezy1472 Is there a most powerful god? because there are so many primordials that I don't even think there is a most powerful primordial.

@@_grass It's different as the myth goes. But Chaos/Khaos is generally considered the first being that created the universe. Chaos is also the creator of the primordials as well... Their parent. It's complicated because some versions of the myths consider Khaos to just be some form of energy.

Still missed out on MAJOR details though

@@stealthven2352 well its hard to get all the info, especially when it comes to greek mythology, it can get really complicated at times

@@julianfalken8861 and to try to keep the video to a watchable video length. If this were 2 hours long, I for one wouldn't have even started it. I found it kinda interesting.

@@Bambihunter1971 exactly there is simply too much to explain, these types of videos are just to kind of overly simply these myths, for those that are really interested can dig a little deeper and see more of the iceberg known as greek myth, so this video does a really good job explaining the myths both in a accurate enough manner and also not to much time draining manner

Nyx is my favorite too and aphrodite

further better to pray myths rather then hanging dead bodies of horizontal corpses🤣

No, the myths didn’t change.

Athena was really quite cruel and vindictive. The myths of both Medusa and Arachne shows as much

It’s gonna be so much better then the movies. Since riordan is actually going to be helping for this one

@@trojanpatriot4346 The actor they picked to play Percy is going to be hilarious! He played young Adam in the Adam Project with Ryan Reynolds, oh my God, he was perfect. He's going to have us cracking up as Percy, he has that humor that is exactly what we needed! I'm actually rereading the books, Percy had me laughing even in the first chapter. I can't wait!

@@hannahhester8376 there are tons of amazing mythology books I can recommend that are 100 times better than Percy Jackson because that book is extremely inconsistent with some of ways they show off the gods and stuff and some of it is really incorrect

@Lizzybearstar DONT YOU DARE SLANDER PERCY JACKSON its one of the best book series ever next to Harry Potter

@@michaelhamsoniii9700 you need help then because it is actually not and I get paid to review books so I think my opinion is a bit more valid

Almost certainly

I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS

I love that game so much! Especially because of the mythology

That is an awesome game I love it

@@nightblossomaudios5898 I know it's one of my favorite games to play because I'm such a mythology buff

great example of greek (and basically any mythology) being to chaotic and having to many stories conflicting each other.

I was confused as to why he didn't use that legend.

That's not how any of this works 😧

😂 I knew this would be a comment eventually.

How original. U come up with that yourself?

Waiting for a game to put that as a voiceline

🤣

No it was actually because mentis said that her next child(not Athena but if she had a second baby) that it would be more powerful then him

@@trojanpatriot4346 ok

I think it said if metis is had a son by Zeus

Metis not Mentis

@@ImperialVictory thx for correcting me

Those are minor gods

@@user-tp9uw1pr6m and? tell me anyone who's not a mythologist that knows about Morpheus and he's on the list

@@SabamnOfficial yea I don't know why he kept Morpheus

Khaos??

@@xaoc6084 absolutely

Athena was also extremely cruel when you look at the myths surrounding Medusa and Arachne. Still an interesting god I agree though! Also there are a few errors in this video but its generally pretty good.
