Bogus lies

Is this a true story? How come gods can’t appear today in modern civilization

@@GunnerLegend its a myth

@@mau2759 its either real or fake i say its fake welp

@@GunnerLegend Same, some things in myths seem so unbelievable , Like how a statue was turned into a human because of a kiss

What about hermes & Dionysus .

Dionysus: dude... your wine sucks

You're right about Ares. Zeus couldn't stand him. He once said that if he wasn't his son that he would banish him the Tartarus Little publicized fact, Athena is the next in line on Olympus as she is Zeus' favorite and basically has the run of the place anyway. So there are no issues between them. Artemis adored Zeus and he loved her. Read the myth with Artemis' wish list where as a child she sat on Zeus' lap and asked for things. As I recall, it was, a silver bow, never to be wed, 50 nymphs as attendants, and the city of Ephesus.

@@daniellogan-scott5968 Well you are right but I just wrote it as a joke, I do know about Artemis being Zeus favorite and other things but Zeus has done some things to them too, you know eating Athena's mother and impregnating one of Artemis followers

Yet surprisingly Ares didn't actually involved in the rebellion (that we know of). Yet a lot of popular media portray him as actively attempting to overthrow and usurp his father.

HA Irony!

@@truthspreader1996 Guess the apples really doesn't fall from the tree if you shake it hard enough

Underrated comment.

calm down aristotle!

Zeus still caused it.

His father and grandfather were both overthrown by their children, if he’d been too wrathful he probably would have been to, and he knew it, so he took this as a sign to be a more lenient ruler, which is why he was never overthrown.

@@KangarooMonkey True the best rulers know when to be merciful and went to rule with an iron fist ⚡️

Blessed are the meek for they inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

There punishment was to make the wall, to to see it fall in the trojan war and help the Greeks armys win the war.

@@petertyson6634 Zeus was playing the long game with Troy. He made sure it's walls were unbreachable and set events in motion for the Greek kingdoms to gather up their armies and greatest heroes (including several demigods) so that they would break before the walls of Troy, and many of them would be killed to prevent them from rising up and overthrowing him like he had done to the Titans.

His “dog” is a Cerberus not an actually dog

@@JupiterHeart dude that was meant to serve as a metaphor never heard of that?

@@JupiterHeart Well his Cerburus is a three headed dog soooo…

@@JupiterHeart Cerberus is the name of a three headed dog.

Does Cerberus count as one or 3 dogs? Hades is definitely a dog person.

You mean, 'Dad & Auntie'. Persephone is Zeus' child by Demeter, after all.

@@joetune1945 Demeter is also Zeus's sister.

@@joetune1945 both

Persephone actually didnt like Hades. He Imprisoned her and gave her lush gifts and luxury for her to remain "Happy" but she always knew she wasnt truly free. Still, these hades comments are funny to read.

@@Cookcook25 that depends on the myth. On most depictions the two are very much inlove the kidnapping was either a facade or a means to an end. Persephone truly Loved Hades as both we’re equals and hades was a good guy. She WAS free and she knew it cause her mother and her husband let her do anything. Thats why she both loved them greatly

There's many myth and story about hades and persephone but i stick with game story called hades(where we play as zagreus son of hades) That version hades is more chill and he even govern dead soul by checking their demand either approved or denied These may be not part of any myth story Still i like that game and the story Even some of certain people like achilles,perceus and even sisyphus are chill guy

It's interesting that the Ancient Greeks were self-aware that Hera and Zeus' relationship would be toxic.

Favoritism 💀💀💀

​@@itzleah8910 Transcends the ages.

Hades too

@@mister_grizzlee5105 Hades is more focused on his job at the Underworld

But what about Asclepius, Hermes, Morpheus, Thanathos or even Artemis and the mentioned Hephaestus? A bunch of major gods other than Hestia would dodge that situation too. A bit surprised Ares went along with a coup too. I will have to research the original now. Also, Dionysius is a older deity that was incorporated into Greek mythology, so he would have a claim too, despite being considered Zeus' child in later Greek myths.

... is it wrong to pick up a girl in a dungeon

@@jakejake8985 Pirithous, my lad! How good it is to see you!

All of that is just headcanon essentially, since the myths don't actually provide any details other than "Hera, Athene and Poseidon wanted to bind Zeus, but Thetis called Briareos and they gave up". We don't even know whether they wanted to depose him or not.

I guess they thought Zeus wasn't going to gain outside help. And they all thought in their heads that they would be the next ruler

Or real

Hestia

The idea was to overthrow Zeus but the Olympians had no idea what to do later. Perhaps they would rule as a council. Perhaps they would ignore the world altogether. Perhaps they might spawn a video game franchise.

It's because Athena is Zeus's favourite child.

@@HighLordoftheBathroom This is true. " The rest of us Olympians obey you and bow to you, but you say and do nothing to stop her antics, you condone them rather, simply because this girl who wreaks havoc is yours." Ares to Zeus in the Iliad Book 5. Tangent: Think about this for a moment. The goddess of Wisdom is being accused of being lawless and mad. Where the other Divines obey and bow, she does whatever she wants. Ares thinks this is due to favoritisms because Zeus "gave birth" to Athena. To the fool who obeys the letter of the law, the wise seem to be crazy or in rebellion when in fact they are true to spirit of the higher laws. The wise are free thinkers.

@@daniellogan-scott5968 Is that why Ares has always had that rivalry with Athena?

@@HighLordoftheBathroom More than likely, he was jealous. Zeus treated him like straight filth while Athena did whatever she wanted without consequence.

@@rolandorodriguez4504 ironically Ares was Heras favorite.

yup.

Hades has enough to deal with like keeping his son from escaping the underworld lol

@@ladynikkie Who is his son again?

as well as Hestia

How's the castle goin alcina?

My god I love all these Hades comments

And Hermes was too busy making deliveries and harboring souls to the underworld to even care about a rebellion

No. She wasn't punished because the myths simply don't mention what happened to the insurgents. According to a later Roman source Hera was indeed punished, but no mention is made regarding the others.

@@omniavanitas7893 bro was talking about Athena not Hera XD

@@marleonfabian8884 Re-read our discussion. I said that the myths don't mention whether any of them, not just Athene) were punished at all. You brought up Hera, Poseidon and Apollo claiming that they were. I just explained why that isn't true.

@@omniavanitas7893 Well regarding "She wasn't punished because the myths simply don't mention what happened to the insurgents. According to a later Roman source Hera was indeed punished, but no mention is made regarding the others." Apollo and poseidon was punished, its even in the video, they were made to help build the walls of troy. SO basically your saying this video is telling fake myths? OR you just didnt see the video and commented?

@@marleonfabian8884 I know what the video says, but I happen to think that actual ancient Greek texts hold a little more value. The most detailed account of this little story is found in the Iliad. All we are told is that Hera, Poseidon and Athene thought to bind Zeus in chains (we are given no motive, nor are we told what they intended to do after this), but Thetis found out and called Briareos who scared the gods so bad that they gave up on the plan. We don't know what Zeus' reaction was or if he punished anyone. Apollo was made to build the walls of Troy because he had killed the kyklopses (the sons of Gaia and Ouranos) and yes Poseidon helped him, but there is no evidence he was forced by Zeus as a punishment for getting involved in that scheme. We can of course speculate, but that's all we can do. No mention is made regarding either Athene or Hera.

its kinda ironic that hes the eldest while zeus is the youngest which explains why zeus is so arrogant most of the time

Hades is easily the most chilliest of the Gods, both Zeus and Poseidon are playboys

@@itachi-kun7736 lol but he did kidnap his Nephew/daughter of demeter and zeus and married her by force and every coming winter she has to die just to meet him and come back to life at spring :(

To be honest i really really hate zeus in all greek myth First he was a f*ckboy sleeping with many beautifull girl that turned to monster bcs hera jealous, and zeus never help those mortal poor soul Second many of his action based of emotion where the god must fair and judje with wisdom. Third yeah hades one of my favorite boy who have chill, calm and "smart" one.

@Jacob J419 Ok

I mean it actually worked till the hundred handed freed him

pros to being king of everything. you can get away with whatever you like until you die or are dethroned

You gon try to punish the strongest

@@barbiewasacommunist8061 actually in people think zeus is strongest but they say poseidon is the strongest. I think zeus gets extra abilities from being the king

It shows there's always someone above the law.

@@kaiser9109 read some of the scriptures and original stories. Shows and comics really make Poseidon seem like an equal, but none are on Zeus’s level. He killed typhon single handily, killed his father, and ruled the decision of all the other gods. In one of the scriptures it literally states that all the gods combined don’t even match Zeus

second only to you

True 😂😂😂

Gigantomachia*

In one story Zeus crippled Hephaestus by throwing him off Mt. Olympus after he sided with his mother

And in another version Hera was chain just like in this story except she had weights on her leg that pulled her. After crying from agony for three days Zeus got tired of hearing her and freed her.

You have been sent to *v o i d* to atone for your c r i m e s

Guys please, this myth is barely mentioned in the ancient Greek texts. Why are y'all talking as if there are a million versions of this story? There is one single version and you can read it in Homer's Iliad. And sorry, but there is no mention of Hera being punished like that as a result of her involvement n the rebellion, unless you count a much later Roman source.

@@omniavanitas7893 I am

Metis? there is like one myth that ik of that has Athena states she has no mother but like all the rest have metis. So in the most well known versions,Metis is Athena’s mom

Btw I think you don't know that appollo and Poseidon got their God power removed during the period they were doing the labour so basically they became mortal during that period

Why would it be his birthright? Kronos was the youngest son of Ouranos, so clearly primogeniture isn't a thing among the gods. The position of supreme god is won through force, not through silly legalities anyway.

Yeah plus Hades was a pretty nice guy

Doesn't matter he can't hold a cantle to Zeus

I thought it was Hestia who was the oldest

@@user-tp9uw1pr6mactually, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon is considered to be equally powerful. Zeus is only king due to the luck of the draw. Literally.

@@kamishin7135 There is a tradition that Son beats Father and it's thought that maybe Zeus escaped it.

That whole "Zeus swallowd Athena and splits his head to two when she's grown" makes me wonder is these stories are made up by cross faded story tellers

@@jacerjb6774 It would have been funny if the snake armed giant or even Hera did the Yamcha pose.

Blood of Zeus isn’t accurate

This has nothing to do with her status as favourite daughter, but with a misunderstanding born from the mixing up of two distinct versions of the myth: In Homer's Iliad, the main as well as the earliest source for the binding of Zeus, the only rebelling gods mentioned by name are Hera, Poseidon and Athena, but no punishment is mentioned for any of them. In the Iliad, there is no indication of Poseidon and Apollo being forced to build the walls of Troy as result of any rebelion and in fact, later accounts claim they did it willingly in order to test Laomedon. As for Hera, the only punishment mentioned for her in the Iliad happened as a result of her persecution of Herakles, for which she was hanged from her wrists and with anvils attached to her feet (Iliad book XV). The Iliad scholia, however, relates the story differently. In this account, Apollo takes the place of Athena and the three rebels (Hera, Poseidon, Apollo) are indeed punished. Thus, the scholiasts changed the reason for Zeus's punishment of Hera, and expanded on the idea of Apollo and Poseidon's forced labour. Now, some scholars believe that Athena being made part of the rebelion in the Iliad was a Homeric innovation (the author specifically made the three principal pro-Achaean deities be the same ones who rebelled against Zeus in the past) and that the version recorded in the scholia was the more genuine tradition, while others suppose that the scholiasts merely tried to make sense of a myth they knew little (if anything) about. Of course, since this myth is only very rarely mentioned in our surviving ancient ttexts and never in detail, it is impossible to know for sure how it originally went and even if it existed at all before the Iliad. Tl;dr: Athena wasn't punished not because of preferential treatment, but because the version of the binding of Zeus where the punishments for the rebels were mentioned did not involve her at all, and in the version where she was one of the rebels there is no mention of punishment for any of the conspirators.

@@omniavanitas7893 Nice info and Thanks for killing the joke. Try taking it a little easier next time 😂

@Mullerornis absolutely true. Old Gods like Odin, Zeus, etc. were as cruel and arrogant as Yaweh and Allah, yet they only praise and deemed the latter a good Gods. Hypocrisy.

@Mullerornis YAHWEH IS REAL. zeus is not! Get a clue and fixed your ignorance!!!

And this is why he is the Harvey Weinstein of the Gods

Hot pfp

All right let mee try to defend zeus for a sec, in all fairness Zeus and hera are siblings and in fact before humans, everyone was related and I guess divorcing Zeus would go against her being the goddess of marriage

@@momod5575 I hear ya. He and Hera are just as bad as each other. Plus, other Olympians do it too, like Aphrodite and Hephaestus. Plus, he’s literally the only one who can lead them, as it’s said in this video.

Yeah, Watched all of it yesterday. It was awesome!

I hope for more season because I was surprised how good it was.

@@AlorTheKing Samen here. Blood of Zeus was pretty good, could be more epic if they bring in more information and more extra characters in this series. Perhaps more episodes. Hopefully their would make season 2?

Yep and finished it the same day it was that good to me

And that's why Hades is Zeus favorite brother.

he cheated his wife. so yeah

She was the wisest. Maybe a bit of ego got into her or something.

Ares didn't want to get between his parents' drama.

Ares domains covers law and order and courage and oath keeping. He also has an aversion to being power hungry. Alot of the negative stuff was written by the athenians even thougth they got routinely butchered by the sons of Ares with the Thebans and the Spartans and other groups that considered themselves descended from his kids. He probably didn't want a civil war considering Aphrodite nearly got aborted by Cronos and Cronos may have tried to do that on purpose. Aphrodite could of advised him not to get involved also who knows political warfare one of the things Ares is god of.
