I just realized I never made a joke about Artemis being "arrow-ace" and I feel the need to apologize.

Zeus " I love all my children equally." Earlier that day: Zeus "I don't care for Aries."

I counted, he has 92 total kids. Could Zeus just keep his toga on FOR FIVE SECONDS?

I wonder if Zeus had 'even' more kids, but they were lost to time over the centuries and nobody bothered to try and bring back their existences to the myths

I like how the title its just "SOME" of his kids

"He crashed into her bedroom with a chariot, surrounded by lightning and also chucked a literal spear made of lightning at her. She died of fright." No, bestie. I think she got vaporized. You know, from having lightning thrown at her by a deity. Edit: this is in reference to the quote by Pseudo-Apollodorus, himself. I'm aware Jake added in that she was vaporized. Edit 2: Also, we know how Zeus "courted" Hera. And it wasn't like that. He had to trick her into marrying him, after he forced himself on her. He turned into a cuckoo and pretended to need help. She took him in her arms, he turned back and...yeah. She married him to avoid the shame of having lost her virginity out of marriage. It was a big deal, in Classical Greece and she was the goddess of marriage, after all.

How about you do a video on how Zeus took away the animals' ability to talk?

I honestly really like the interpretation of Artemis and Orion just being really close platonic friends as you historically, and even today, don’t see too many close male female relationships that aren’t romantic nor sexual in fiction.

The pugs tearing apart Actaeon as a Stag is the perfect touch!! 😂

I've always been partial to the theory that every greek city state would want their founder/hero king to have divine right to rule, and having their backstory involve Zeus being their father works better for that. After all, being the son of Hephaistos is cool, but doesn't make you uniquely qualified to be king (though you will probably have less hubris, tragedy, and murder in your life compared to the average Zeus offspring).

Since we’re on the subject of Zeus’ kids, the Theogony states that the nine Muses were children to Zeus and Mnemosyne, a video on them or including them in a part two would be pretty neat.

A thing I would be especially interested in in a follow-up about this is the fact that the judges of the dead in the Underworld are all also sons of Zeus. Even in his own domain, Hades has to deal with his brother's shenanigans.

zues really loved his family he even married his sister

Yay Hebe is mentioned! She’s so underrated and barely mentioned in any legends! Glad she’s mentioned here (as a footnote for Heracles, but still)

Fun fact: Zeus has 99 children. Hera is the mother of 4 of them. 52 are gods while 47 are demi-gods.

Zeus: i would never violate marriage. Also Zeus: has multiple affairs.

Ares' head constantly vibrating with that face is *gold.* 😂

THE ZOOM IN ON DIONYSUS AS A FETUS HAS ME DEAD 😭😭😭

I love that you put the aro, lesbian and ace flag when talking about Artemis and her "gal-pals"!

I love Artemis's constantly tensed fingers on the bowstring.

6:10 For the record, in the original myths it's said that the reason Daphne hated Apollo was because Eros had struck her with a lead arrow of hate at the same time he'd struck Apollo with a golden arrow of love. So neither of them was really thinking during that whole adventure.

Amazing, I also love the ways that you protray gods like especially Iris.

I'm curious about his mortal daughters, apart from Helen. I guess it will be a long video or part 1

7:04 'to be a patron and protector of young women until their marriage-' *aggressively pointing drawn bow at child*

Angelos, Arges, Eleutheria, and Enyo are Hera's lesser known daughters. Sometimes Eris is said to be Zeus and Hera's daughter but more likely Nyx's daughters. But yeah overall Hera's kids are lesser known than the bastards especially since they are girls and wouldn't be able to inherit and both sons she produce are kind of inadequate in Zeus' eyes.

Zeus and Hera did have other lesser known kids like Angelos (Ancient Greek: Ἄγγελος) or Angelia (Ἀγγελία) who was a daughter, who became known as a chthonic deity. Her name means messenger.

Aaaaayyy, Eileithya and Hebe are in the Thumbnail!

5:58 Just a note: the quote says that Apollo flipped the lyre upside down and played it, not the flute. And it was in fact because Marsyas couldn't play the flute in reverse that he lost.

I always crack up everytime this series depiction of Artemis is shown having to converse with anyone because it just looks like shes barely restraining her urge to arrow them in the face....even when its a woman in labor XD

Anyone else get a kick outta hearing Hyacinth's demise described as a "Frisbee accident"??😂😂

Zeus: God of "If it breathes, it takes my seed"

If you want a video idea, could you do a video on Apollo's earlier life? I think he's a really interesting god, and a video about just him would be awesome.

The best quote about Greek Mythology I ever heard (from UsefulCharts’ Trojan War video): “All roads lead to Zeus.”

I already knew nearly all of the myths you talked about but your animation and humor makes it worth wathcing! Great work dude!

i relate to jake's problems with small hands on a spiritual level ... i have the hands of a 10 year old boy and nothing looks good on them :(

good news: Apollo's boyfriend Hyacinthus did get resurrected by him and attended godhood. there is literally a festival (Hyacinthia) dedicated to Hyacinthus's death and rebirth

You were the first youtuber that does greek mythology (and others) you inspired me to actually get books and read infomation about greek mythology! Thank you so much for teaching me intresting things to me!

I love the fact that he had to put "some" in the title.

Fun fact: Holzkern is german and as german rends to do, the word is selve describtive. Holzkern can be split into 2 words: Holz and Kern. Holz means wood and kern means core. Therby the most literal translation of Holzkern is wood core. This name choice probaly stams from the fact that these watches are made out of wood

Love the new character design!! :)

I'm so tempted to make a Google Doc of all his kids. It would be time consuming, but probably fun.

How did i just discover this Channel today? I love the greek Mythology series

Can we just aprciate how well jakes editing skills are now?

So many texts that I have to learn for my exam were showed in this video, very cool!

jake is back at it again!

Loving some of these newer doodles

I'd love to see more videos going over the children of well known gods like Zues and other olympians.

I love your videos because at the start before I was watching your videos. I did not really know a lot about Greek mythology and then I Found your videos and watch them And I love Them now

Can you make a video about Eros and Psyche? Or something about the primordials

Good video and is no one talking about the dragon ball reference he made at the beginning.keep up the work Jake ❤

Loved the vid!

I JUST FOUND YA CHANNEL I LOVE IT SO MUCH

ZEUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED Zeus: Do you know how little tha- I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS Zeus: Oh it’s Kratos

Looking forward to part 2

amazing video haven't watched it but still

I really like the suggestions about artemises sexuality! I think they are fun and funny!

broski I started reading the kane chronicals, and i would really appreciate if you made some more egyptian mythology.

Tbh il ove the new animation style at your self nice 👍

4:59 Wow. Her water broke. Gosh you're a genius, Jake. 😅

In regards to Artemis being in love with Orion its better to loved and lost than to have never loved at all

6:34 theory: the reason why Apollo replace Helios because of Zeus's arrogance and hatred of Titans. Helios sided with Zeus during the Titan war só unlike Pontus and Tarturus got replace by Poisendon and Hades respectually as Gods of Sea and Underword Helios was aloud to keep his Job but after Apollo Join the 12 Olimpus he got the fame as god of the Sun because he is the king of gods spoiled ritch kid. The reason is because those Hélios is like Gaia and Uranus he is the Sun plus Hélios beign the god of the Sun is Very important for two stories that beign the kidnaping of Persefone and the afair of Ares and Afrodite (all versions i read makes preaty clear it's Hélios) both of whitch happen with all 12 olimpian Gods (including Apollo) are in they place P.s Sorry for poor english

Thank you for clarifying the difference between apollo and Helios that always confused me

I hope it is not an April Fool's joke since it'll come out in April 1st

Part 2 this was fun!

I know this doesn't matter at all But i really like how every character jake draws slightly moves whenever on screen and it makes them look less static and more alive Its a small thing but i like it

We gonna talk about how Apollo Ruined his twin's love life?

Lol hera and Zeus and baby aries is what I needed this afternoon

Aphrodite feels like a glaring omission.

Hey it would be pretty cool if you did a video about Odysseus and his journey

New designes for semele and leto! Akso could you talk about the myth of phyce and eros?

i love how you now animate your Charakter

by the way in some versions of Herakles's birth Hera uses force to delay his birth and the next descendent of Perseus becoming king was was also her idea

Wrist watches making a comback as a convenience

He had a lot of kids in his time.

Waiting for part 2

Really digging Iris's tunic 🌈

0:52 Interesting information: many themes and soundtracks from God of War greek saga took inspiration from this hymn (I'm talking about the lyrics) The first part very similar to the beginning of God Of War II main theme There are many references in "Glory of Sparta" soundtrack too and all of its variations

One of my favorite multinstoried gods are the three faced goddess and her mate or partner, the horned god. Theres evidence of them dating all the way back to ancient sumeria and similar mythologies show similar figures appearing in Greek, Druidic, and Nordic myth! A good example is the goddess Hecate and a mirror of her in Irish myth, the Morrigan!

0:30 Love how baby Ares is born a cranky rattling baby.

Anyone counting how many of these kids are actually Heras?

Hey Jake I love your work. In my opinion, the simpler brown eyes are nicer for your avatar.

... Would their be a video about Typhon and Echidna's children?

Omg I love this video

I love your design of Iris.

Dionysus: "Thigh" was often a euphemism for genitals.

Jake can you please make video about Circe?

You should cover Orpheus

I’d love for you to do the Bacchae

Thank youuuu soo much

It’s probably for the best we don’t know how many kids Zeus has, just more people to suffer Hera’s wrath. Great design on Hebe btw

In case people were wondering, when jake says marsyas got off easy at 6:06, he's being sarcastic, as the winner could do whatever he wanted to the loser, and apollo won, and flayed marsyas alive. The More You Know.

Pseudo-Apollodorus on his way to unify and canonize every AU of every concivable media:

Can you make a part 2

Love the new talking dude

JAKE POSTED ONCE MORE

Can you make a video on the evolution of Dionysus?

Can you do a video of the mith Eros and Psiche

Cool animation

1:04 Although both Heracles & Eurystheus were descendants of Zeus, the god actually announced that the next born descendant of _Perseus_ would be high king of Mycenae. If it were a descendant of Zeus then the actual king would probably be one of his great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren somewhere in the world of Ancient Greece
