The Giants of Greek Mythology - (Greek Mythology Explained) 

@@hadtrio6629 I think he's pretty diverse already.

Glad you're alive and back! Would you consider doing some videos on jewish mythology? I can't seem to find much info, not to mention you make the best mythology video's out there.

the music in the background (instrumental music from skyrim) fits this video series so perfectly

@@hadtrio6629 how diverse do you want it to be? Maybe he doesn't owe you anything and creates what he wants to? Go make your own channel.

It's funny how nearly all religions in antiquity have giants in them and nearly all of them are represented as having this redemption story to them. It is like the same author writing a series of books with different characters and locations in them but the same premise. You could even say it must be true, if everyone from Northlands to even eastern deserts such as the low kingdom are basically saying the same stories... Or I am overthinking it and they just stole ideas from each other like the Romans did with the Greeks mythos.

Hera a good mother to Ares

@@KingRichardDeLeonheart A good mother to War.

There always Lilith .

@@practicalphilosophy9031 well, a neglectful mother and the mother of all evil, how wonderful...

Their family tree is more of a 'connect the dots' drawing than an actual tree.

Nice to see you here

He brutally murdered my bro one time and men that shit is nasty. Anubis: how bout that serial god killer bald dude? Hades: ahh he went to Asgard so we good Anubis: for now

Watch Reign. Best of both worlds. Weird as hell.

True

@@HyperionaSilverleaf where do I watch it

Read the epic of gilgamesh, it LITERALLY reads like the plot synopsis from a wikipedia page for a shounen anime. Granted that's sumerian.

That's something dark😬😬

Damn you're one lucky guy! My father refused to go get the milk. Instead he just avoided me at home.

@@Sahiyena11 cigarettes are hard to find also

LMAO MINE TOO

Wow! Mine did the very same thing. He went on a hunting trip and never came back...We did hear he was living with his sister and her husband, but he never came back to us.

That's how Egyptian gods were formed

@@benreed638 No, probably Evil.

Egyptian Gods were worshipped before Greek Gods.

It not what came first or did not. İt is how the Greeks saw the world. They where the same has the romen in that they assumed every one worshiped there gods so when they found people that worshiped other gods they had to figured out how. All so we have no idea how old the Greek gods truly are. They predate classical Greece.

@@Andrewza1 Greeks liked to practice "personification", and to write about all sorts of things as if those things were persons. They were sophisticated and intelligent people, so knew that "Water", "Light", and Rivers were not people or in the actual shape of people, but would symbolically depict them like that at times and include certain symbols and references and identifications to such. Depicting things like people was meant to indicate that these things were believed to have some sort of spirit inside or life, animation, and ability to respond or be appeased in the way a human might be. They knew the river was a river and looked like a river, but in order to depict it they would create a symbolic form for it which they would use to try to make the river something more manageable for them to interact with or control through offerings and appeasement efforts. The Greeks in this fashion attempted to manage all of wild nature by giving every element some rational form they could try to deal with or control through offerings and appeasement since they could not easily control the elements in a direct fashion. The geneology of these portions of nature varied and they had no strict system as to what came from what, but they tended to be logical, so for example "night" may be "born of" "darkness" and stuff like that. Again, anyone educated in the meanings of these common words would understand the simple symbolic logic being used and not likely take it so literally that these things one clearly sees or encounters which cover huge areas were actually small statue sized people. They were fully aware that this was not the case, that they had made these images and used human models, and that these images or symbolic writings referred to inhuman things that don't cease or fade or die like humans do and are not human beings but clearly visible things like rivers or constellations of stars, or invisible concepts like "justice", "victory", "love", "vengeance". Whatever thing you wanted to deal with, you would call upon it. Some even considered these to be aspects or fragments of One Power but were called upon by particular names when desiring some certain area of life to be influenced favorably. Its also interesting your name, Coetzee, even your first name. I was just reading about the name Bargatze coming from Pan-Cratius meaning Ruler of Everything or Ruler of All. The name Andrew may be related to the term Andro, meaning Man. Names were much more relevant and looked into by the Greeks than people care to these days. A person's name or what they were called often referred to some quality they had or their special ability or aspect which was notable, otherwise for some deed they may have done and so their name was changed or added to.

Andrew W Whittaker as somebody who constantly plays Skyrim I forgot Talos was a thing in Greek Myth

@@mahn3580 same and it doesn't help that skyrim music is playing in the backround

Yes Talos was built by Daedalus to protect Crete by command of King Minos if i remember correctly, & yes Hephaestus had golden female automatons as servants named Keledones.

Cant believe hephaestus had a harem of sexy golden gynoids and still tried to rape athena.

true Daedalus built Talos

Not sure, the upload schedule has been poor and I have other topics I want to cover.

What is this Egyptian magic that creates avatars and mech contructs?

@@benjaminholden7132 its combat magic, i learned about it through The Kane Chronicles. It basically creates an avatar around you that looks like a green lantern construct. It also allows you to create a giant holographic fist to beat your enemies.

Anubian - Jackal Reviews Dont believe everything you read in Rick Riordan books, he twists the myths to be more «children» friendly or to fit the story betyer

Robin Kristiansen I’ve done research on Egyptian magic, and “combat magic” as described in Rick Riordan didn’t exist. The way magicians used the powers of the gods was more of a mutual understanding. They both are using powers through the magicians body. It’s really just a boost of power to a magician. But being able to summon a god was extremely rare

No it's not

@@mver191 What is it then if I may ask 😂

@@art_of_beelz Knitting and cats.

@@mver191 Fair enough

@@art_of_beelz What are your favorite myths and cultures? How seriously do you take the stories or what do you think you enjoy about them? Do you feel an affinity towards certain symbols or divinities?

Hyperboreans?

OMG rightttt

Pong Guy as far as I remember from the Percy Jackson series they’re like frost giants who breathe ice or something

@@bradenvester4308 hyperborean = beyond north wind. Some people thought it was the people in the British isles, some people thought it was a group of siblings of the ancient gods, some people think it dated further back than that... Everyone has a different idea of who the hyperboreans were

@@bradenvester4308 "beyond the north," a name for the tall golden men of "Thule," a country the Scythians told the Greeks about where the sun never set far beyond the northern end of the world known to the greeks. Probably represented a scandinavian nation in the summertime. Tall blonde guys and 21 hour daylight.

Sorry if that's creepy lol

I just woke up from his voice putting me asleep!!!

I’m literallyyyy listening too this whilst I’m trying too sleep 🤣😭

Da fuk

More as guardian of the Underworld, not pet, but yes.

@@vaggos013 so nepotism

And basically named him Spot (Cerberus means spotted one)

Lol the gods family tree was basically a telephone pole,decorated like a Christmas tree with animal sex, rape, and incest or some combination of the three there of. Lol compared to what his brothers where up to and the fact that creatures like the Minotaur existed, makes him keeping his cousin as a pet pretty tame. Hell Athena bust out of Zeus’ head fully grown with armor on that she got somewhere including a spear. Somehow lmao, no one died or was even inconvenienced at all lmao.

Zues: Athena fetch your brother would you. Athena: why is always me m Zues: you too seem so close Athena think back to Everytime she has humiliated Ares : alright I'll be nice for once

He refers to the Gigantes.

Read the book of Enoch

Gigantes were clearly defined in the myths, distinct by other divine generations. Word "gigantic" is our borrowing to describe "big, powerful".

@@mishkosimonovski23 Yes and No their is 2 kinds of Giants one from people and one of a different race, this can be found in most languages. Hebrew, Nephiliem & Rephiaem and in greek/roman, Titan & the word you used. They are distinct and different One was believed to be part human and part god, the other was a person who became corrupt by some other means(Nimrod), or Became a Renowned hero without any special ability's the king of Edom Alexander the great was one such man. This is why you have say the catholic church who worships "Saints" but in reality it dates back thousands of years to the Council of Titans in which they would worship Old fallen heroes called titans which where demi gods their spirits would return and help them. heroes like heracles, archilles, so forth so on. SO your right but like most things its far more lengthy and complicated than the history channel would like to make it, by that i mean that most of the so called historians would like to make it. Which makes sense on some level since it is pretty difficult to explain the whole thing to a normal person who say just went to schools or didn't study such area's to the extreme plus it can get confusing I'd imagine for some people. There's multiple terms for multiple things in every language this is why specific words have been chosen throughout history and even today to represent specific things so that their is no confusion in the meaning. However we know today that corporations & colleges have created confusion in order to profit. So without studying ancient materials oneself and studying the work of so called scholars alot of information gets lost in the transfer for the average person.

Cronus: Put em back, they clearly ain't done yet.

Spends 30 seconds coming out, and the rest of our lives trying to get back in it. He was just saving them the hassle

Nah. He imprisoned them in Tartaros.

AND continue to impregnate Gaia. He did not stop.

Which?

Like in the video, he does father a lot of children, but I think the title is more so like “the mother load.” basically calling him a monster among monsters. Hades would be closer to Lucifer/Devil and God/whoever rules heaven, as regardless of what you do in life, your soul goes to Hades for, punishment, paradise, or to wander.

MrRainbowZombieMan Hades is more of a warden in Mythology while Lucifer was an adversary to God.

Kronus wpuld be closer to the Devil, in Greek mythology. Specially when he castrates his father Oranos, which is closer to what the Devil does when he steals Mankind by tricking them to choose disobedience.

Tyler Todd yes in Greek mythology he is But in real life that job goes to me

Colin Preston that’s what I’m saying. He was made to be a warden of Hades. Tricked by his brothers to govern Hades. He wasn’t much of an adversary to Zeus as Typhoon seems to be, along with others like Kronos (being the leader of the Titans and Zeus’ adversary)

You still alive?

I think that you're thinking of Antaeus because that is what Herakles did to him on his way to steal the golden apples from the garden of the hesperides.

@@Maison05 Most likely I do, he also was one of the giants. I suppose I mixed them up:D

Lord Henry 17 I’ve had the same thought and actually wrote a report on it in Mythology class.

@@arkinyte13 yup. I'm positive ancient civilizations knew the consequences of incest

Why didn't they use humans as example? Why mythological beings?

All gods (with the exception of Hephaistos) were the product of incest. All of them (with the exception of Hephaistos) looked perfectly fine.

Yeah butt fuckers

Preston Cormick they do match but it’s the same one constantly, the old videos had like 7 pictures for each monster he described going through lots of different interpretations of each beast (or whatever creature) he was talking about. It made the videos more interesting. It was supposed to be constructive feedback so back off.

Hermes stole back the lightning healed his father and the muses gave typhon a weakning drug in his sleep then zeus beat him , typhon was too freaking good at wooping gods ass that the only way to win was to cheat

I mean it's not that hard to think of giants. They're literally just people but bigger. If giants had existed, we would've made archaeological discoveries by now.

@@theresnothinghereatall The Gigantes weren't actually necessarily big. They just commanded storms and drew power from the earth. And had lots of strength, durability, etc.

I'd classify Typhon, the Cyclopes, and Hecatoncheires as all giants, just different subtypes. Like a poodle and pitbull are both dogs. Just different breeds.

I'm curious, why do you think you might be interested in that?

In early depictions he was a storm giant. In later depictions he became a volcano giant. So, yeah. He could be classified as a giant of the hurricane

Yeah he was!!!! Would love to see a movie on his fight with Zeus.

Already done

@Joe Swanson thanks

Well I was going to say it's an entity and also the endless pit deep in the underworld but then I thought if Gaea is the earth and the underworld is below then what you said...sort of makes sense?
