@Ghost Ghost Maybe you mean the opposite. Even the name mesopotamia is given by the greeks. Mesopotamia as athers ''states'' were lucky enough to be near achient greece and they draw their glory from the achient greece. (maybe i look like i underestimate mesopotamia, i want to clear up that i found very intresting the history of mesopotamia and i try to learn many thinks about it )
@@theunknown.2345 the first evidence of mesopotamia was around 9000 bc , the evidence of Minoan civilization(part of hellenistic civilization) was at 130.000 bc , Minoan civilization at 2000 bc they had heated floor (can you imagine....)
Only in the Ovid myth was Athena cruel to her, same with the Arachne story(also done by Ovid). And honestly speaking Ovid wrote Greek characters much like how Garth Ennis writes superhero comics.
Early depiction of Medusa had her always be a monster from the start. The thing about her being a human that was involved with Athena and Poseidon was a later rendition
Can you do videos about These people in future? Blenda: The Swedish heroine Cambyses II: The Blasphemous Conqueror Goliath: the Giant of Philistines (Yeah, we have many videos about King David but what about his famous adversary?) Sir Kay: "the Brother" of Knig Arthur -(and maybe some mention of the Cath Palug?) Sir Dagonet: Jester who became a knight Sir Pellinore: Knight who broke the king's sword Rostam, Sohrab, Esfandiyār and some other heroes in Persian mythology Ashurnasirpal II The Assyrian Vlad the Impaler Nanaue: the Shark Prince King Charlemagne Furious Roland: Greatest of Charlemagne's paladins Renaud de Montauban Astoflo: Most handsome of the Charlemagne's Paladins Ogier the Dane: The sleeping paladin Ganelon: the Traitor Bradamante and Ruggiero: Love story of the two knights.
Gorgons didn’t have snake tails, that was 1981’s Clash of the Titans version that was so popular now everyone thinks that’s how the creatures always were. In an 95’s cartoon of Hercules I saw shows Cerberus with a scorpion’s tail and dozens of snakes on his back.
A really interesting topic to treat is the "Summer Day" on 14 march (1 March of the Julian calendar) which is a spring festival and pagan holiday celebrated widely in Albania. Is celebrated with little differences by city to city and basically is a tribute to Artemis/Diana.
Its weird, there's stories where medusa was a Gorgon, with sisters, other stories where a woman was turned into medusa because of her beauty and probably a relationship with Zeus ...
I guess there isnt really a clear answer. Though I find it peculiar that medusa is the only one that could die, yet her head still possesses some of her power/curse. It almost would have made more sense the other way around.
If we don't go by Ovid's tradition having Medusa as a beautiful maid transformed into a hideous gorgon, other traditions have Medusa and her two other sisters - Stheno and Euryale - as gorgons from birth. Medusa was mortal, whereas Stheno and Euryale were immortal. So the other two sisters were far more powerful than Medusa.
. Like a lot of mythology more than one version. Interestingly the Greek depictions of her change over time becoming less monstrous and more human so it seems the mythology was changing before the Romans got hold of it.
Important thing: Cerberus is a term that may come from a proto-european roots, it doesent mean "flesh eater" or anything that drastic... it means "spotted". Basically, Hades named his pup "Spot" and it's adorable. Also, the third gorgon sister's name is "Stheno".
Wasn't the guy who killed the Chimera (I cant spell his name) a son of Poseidon and that is why he was able to ride the pegasus and he died by attempting to fly to Olympus because he thought he should be a God.
What i always found interesting is,Greece and Rome share a lot of the mythical and folklore stuff,there's similarities in names too and military wise,this is of course because Rome conquered ancient Greece and borrowed a lot of their culture and twisted it to make it Roman but both of them actually borrow heavy from the Egyptian culture,Greece did the same with the Egyptian culture like Romans did with the Greece,borrow stuff and twist it a little.For example when you see a centaur in movies and stuff,you dont know if it's egyptian,greek or roman,greeks and romans obviously both had centaurs but egyptians had the Ipotane,the equivalent of a centaur.Same goes for a lot of the gods,Heracles being Greek,Hercules Roman and Heryshaf in Egypt,Amphitrite-Greek,Salacia-Roman,Hatmehit-Egyptian,Aphrodite-Greek,Venus-Roman,Hathor, Isis-Egyptian
1:16 There have been reports of humanoids flying around in Mexico. A policeman was dispatched to the scene, and his squad car was attacked by the creature. What he described looks just like Siren. He said the creature had bird legs, but her upper body was of a woman. Not beautiful like that painting, but the creature's upper body was of a very old hag who resembled a witch in fairy tale stories. The flying humanoid was filmed multiple times, and its video is on RU-vid somewhere, so is the policeman's interview.
Great video of mythical Greek bestiary. Only one drawback - the use of the Latin 'Hercules' instead the proper 'Heracles'. Please go with the latter in future videos about Greek mythology. 👍🏾
WHAT was Poseidon thinking to mate Medusa as Gorgan monster? All sources, without doubt, point Pegasus is the product of Poseidon and Medusa, Ovid version or not.

@@alexterieur8813 It was the offspring of Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, and a snow-white bull sent to Minos by the god Poseidon for sacrifice. Minos, instead of sacrificing it, kept it alive; Poseidon as a punishment made Pasiphae fall in love with it. Her child by the bull was shut up in the Labyrinth created for Minos by Daedalus.
You are talking about different translations - roman and latin - of a greek name, in english. I think is interesting that english in the only language that has this discussion - we work with 5 other languages and everywhere else people get that the name has been translated over and over and the translation does not change the character.
I dared animal dart guy, cause I don't make sence, watch they do ALL of the stuff I see on tv cause its a"movie" about what see and hear, they call it the Rittenhouse society, what Eric sees and hears, it is sooo weird.....
