For me this is very interesting although the video is quite dull but it is informative. Well for me

Criminally underrated The best summery of greek mythology for sure

I agree

When you think about it, the birth of Aphrodite makes sense. She’s the goddess of carnal love, so coming from genitals removed while attempting sex actually works, and as a sex goddess, it would be improper even for the Greeks to have her be a child at any point, hence her emerging as an adult from the foam.

This was a great summery of Theogony. I really appreciated that you took the time to make such a detailed video of the family tree of the gods. Thank you very much.

This is brilliant - witty penetratable and for the first time piqued my interest in Greek mythology 👁

You sir, are a boss. Love the video format, incredibly informative, the subtle jokes and your pleasant voice make it an enjoyable yet educative video. And you're even so free to include the SVG file of the family tree which must have taken you ages to arrange and complete, hats off to you.

The "unnamed serpent" who guards the golden apples is Ladon (yes that's also his name). He guards the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides. One version of Heracles' 12 labours has him kill Ladon. In another version he actually asked Atlas to retrieve the golden apples, not killing the apples. While Atlas was away, Heracles took his place. Yes that means Heracles, literally, for some time, *held the entire sky up*

Ten minutes in and I'm already in love.

Could not have read Theogony properly without your awesome video. *Thank you* for taking the time and hats off to you for an exceptionally clear approach to explaining Hesiod's work. Well done!

This summery is actually so well done and probably the best one out there!!! the fact this has 53 likes is a crime!!

Officially my favorite video on KZread. Thanks!

I'm commenting for the algorithm. This video deserves more!

This is one of the best recaps on KZread.

Hello. I am rediscovering Greek mythology. There are many things and similarities that I notice showing more that Greek mythology is nothing else than the poetic description of the physical, psychological and spiritual evolution of the human being. I share with you my interpretation of some moments hoping that it deserves attention and development, and with your help, do not hesitate to share your ideas: What if the history of the world until the arrival of Zeus, is the history of the appearance of man in the womb until the age of his consciousness!?: From the embryo to the infant: 1- Nothingness, darkness, emptiness, nothingness, Chaos - this is the inside of the mother's womb. 2- The appearance of the Gaia embryo in the womb Ouranos. 3- Gaia's embryo grows, takes shape and the first components of the development of the human body are born (the Titans) 4- Gaia and her titans grow to the point of not having any more space in the womb Ouranos which tightens them, imprisons them and suffocates them. 5- And it is thanks to Kronos that they free themselves: With time comes the day of birth and liberation. And the final separation of Gaia and Ouranos is done by Kronos who cuts the part of Ouranos (the cutting of the umbilical cord of the newborn). The baby infant Kronos detaches himself from the belly of his mother. From the baby infant to the conscious child: 1- Once the baby is released from Ouranos, it is Kronos the infant and Rhea goddess of fertility and milk who enter the scene. 2- With time, while feeding, the infant Kronos only swallows the milk, growing in strength, form and senses, but he is still guided by his instincts, reflexes and animal nature. 3- Until the day when he is given hard food (the stone of Rhea), which announced the end of the age of the infant and the arrival of the conscious child, the end of the age of Kronos and the arrival of the age of the young Zeus. 3- "Zeus the Conscious" little by little, battle after battle, war after war (the Titanomachy, the Gigantomachy, battle with Typhon) finally wins and takes over. 4- End of the unconscious baby under Kronos and birth of the conscious child under Zeus. 5- Zeus settles at the top of the kingdom in the head of the body, gives to Hades the entrails of the kingdom "the belly", and to Poseidon the parts where the oceans and the rivers of blood flow. 6- From the top of Olympus in our heads, our Zeus (our consciousness) rules the whole kingdom at lightning speed, lightning being his main attribute. (All the functioning of our nervous system and our brains is electrical impulses,... interesting coincidence ) 😊 To be continued...

An interesting paradigm, try to bring it to an other abstraction for example cognition.

U deserved more like.... Well-built, well-written, well-presentation video.

This is the best Greek mythology explanation ever! Great work!!!

thank you so much.. this is so helpful!!! ur a god

Thank you! I will definitely be sharing this with my myth students.

Thank you so much! I will refer back to this video from time to time!

I’m so surprised that this video is not as big as it is. This man deserves so much more

This is fabulous! Thank you for taking the time to make such a great detailed video!

This video explained Greco-Roman mythology in a very organized way and the video was funny but educational.

you're really underappreciated .. great video

Great job. Makes it so much easier to organise all that information.

Maybe we can see Metis/Zeus giving rise to the fates being their light/reason/illumination of the mind property, but the Nyx (darkness/trickery/death) is always part of this, so they must be of dual offspring. Very much the Nietzschean Apollo/Dinoysus duality or what Jung will later see with the shadow. Really enjoyed the video!

Excellent! Thank you.

I’m about 20 minutes in and this is such a great video! Love the humor too. Greek mythology is both fascinating and horrifying at the same time

Shame this only has 22K-ish views. You deserve more!

U did an amazing job!

That was bloody brilliant, I was after something that would explain it to me, which you do excellently, but it was also immensely entertaining. Thank you so much.

i love how witty this video is

Wow, phenomenal work. I am reading Theogony, and this visual (along with your commentary) made it much easier to process...and there was added bonus that it was enjoyable!

I love this, this is brilliant! Thank you for making this!

37:48 I had to look up what "the Rick Perry method" was. First thing that came up was another Google recommended question: "What is Rick Perry's current position?"

Omg .. u are subscribed 😂😂😂 the humor, the Animation, the research.. all mixed up in one giant awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍👍 P.S. I liked the video from disclaimer itself. Shows tht u are humble and get fun in the work tht u do... All the very things required in a homosapien's life 👍👍👍

Hey, what app/program did you use to make this flow chat?

42:33 and he knows about Lilith. Subscribed Love your etymology and vocabulary too

I love the "partially" in a 1h video

I love reading classic works but I have such a hard time wrapping my head around them and focusing without having prior knowledge. This video has prepared me to read The Theogony. Very well!

This is particularly brilliant. I enjoyed it. Thanks

this is severely underrated

Why isn’t there a lot of sources out there for researching any of these God’s specifically I was looking for ponos

Amazing job, pal!

I came here to comment about how possibly one of the 51 nereids you had listed may have been the one son that Nereus and Doris had, but his name is actually Nerites and isn’t listed here. Hesiod just sucks at counting

The greatest video for my mythology class thank you so much❤️ From Turkey.

thank u for this I am fighting for my life in my greek class. keep it up.

I started reading theTheogony and it kinda felt tooo much info all at once and a bit boring But God damn man,Thanks This was amazing

Just beautiful

Great summary- thanks

Lovely video, just subbed

Thanks. Printed it out . ....2.7 meters wide and hang it up on the garage wall. Amazing.......thanks.

You are my new best friend. I love this and you are just everything.

I’ll have something to show my mythic students now thanks!

This video is just brilliant❤️🏛🗻

this is incredibly helpful thanku

Brilliant. And funny. Thank you. x

This is awesome. 👏🏻 Breaks down the genealogy thoroughly and systematically, AND makes me laugh! 😂 💓👍🏻

Absolutely, Brilliant!

Damn, I don't think I've ever seen someone hold such a grudge against Posiedon.

This is SO easy to listen to. It's my fourth time after only a few days of finding the video Also I feel like you could voice a character in Hades

Love it, thank you (Proud to be the 1000th like)

Thank you so much

Bro this is funny and good do more

Brilliant!

I don't understand why they translate χάος(Khaos) as Chaos. Yes it sounds the same but these mean different things so it isn't a good translation. χάος is more like a chasm, it is emptiness. "Nothing" would be better than Chaos.

Chaos want a god but instead a void. It’s the root of Chasm. Just an emptiness from which matter and eventually, order, sprang forth.

Very good

I followed this link to get to Blake Tyrell's translation: msu.edu/~tyrrell/theogon.pdf You can find another translation on Project Gutenburg here: gutenberg.org/ebooks/348 I had to buy the translation by Apostolos Athanassakis. Hope it helps!

do you have the completed chart available?

Indeed I do. I didn't do a very good job of scaling it, but you can find a couple versions here: imgur.com/gallery/dtyuV5j If you prefer to edit the SVG for yourself, you can find it at the very bottom of this page here: www.projectpersona.com/projects/hesiods-greek-god-family-tree/

Can you make for others family trees of the gods like norse , that was wonderful and I wait for more .

This is a fantastic effort. Is it possible to get a hard copy of this chart?

Can I get a link for the ebook of the theogony I didn't find a good one

thanks! i was looking for the same in russian, but not succeed

COITUS INTERRUPTUS - Harry Potter contraceptive But fr fr great full video 🙏🏽

Could you do these for other mythologies too?

This was really good and could you make a Norse version of this

Awesome video!! Question if Aphrodite is formed when Ouranus blood spills into the sea, wouldn't the sea be Pontus?

Echidna did ever revenge to Hercules

💡💡💡so good

Wow that was crazy 😂😂 i watch it like 3 times. Btw u missed a c in "senescence" in son of Nyx.

A note for the time stamp 33:11 he says goddesses but marks them with a square instead of a circle, Demeter Hera and Hestia are females not males.

Tartarus and gaia are the son of chaos

*names the hundred-handers as quietly as he can*

❤ lovely.....

The Second fates could be clones or avatars, and I don't think the time flow for Gods are the same as Mortals 1 year Immortal time could equal 129,680 years Mortal time, 1 yuan

11:39 killed me lol

44:46 I guess the heavens is approximately 1.931.93 light years away then. I suppose it'll be easy to visit heaven once we could travel at the speed of light.

Anyone else catch the accidental Avatar the Last Airbender reference

Can i just say i *LOVE* how you told ppl to fk off to PercyJackson if they cant stand historical accurate literature 👏🏾

23:05 Ok, but was she rougher than the rest of them, though? The best of them, perhaps?

Lol! This is really funny

Now that I think about it, Kryten is a greek sounding name.

Me: Why is the gap so big when there are only 5 children? *Remembers Zeus* Me: Ooohhhhhh

chaos can give birth coz of eros influence as the god of vital energy. same for gaea s partenogenesi

How does this have such few views??

Can you tell me where in the Greek classics the Gods are looking down on man and comment that he acts like a chicken not knowing he is a man?

Chronos and Ananke pls...
