While I know Apollo and Helios are sometimes considered the same entity, from my experience, they are more commonly seen as separate deities but similar all the while, And in the version that I am most familiar with, Phaethon is driving the sun chariot and then promptly being shot down by Zeus with his lightning bolt after Phaethon caused brief destruction to the world. His forever scorching body fell into a body of water and it became extremely toxic. His sisters then found this lake and mourned for their brother until a god (Can't remember which) pitied them and turned them into trees that lined the edge of the body of water. And finally after all this, Helios, filled with grief, refused to drive the sun anymore, and passed it on to Apollo. So... yeah.

There's more to the tale than was mentioned. In some versions, killing Argos was because he killed Echidna, mother of all monsters. See, Typhon came to kill Zeus and a whole fight broke out that ended with Zeus throwing a mountain on top of Typhon to kill him. Zeuse then decreed that his wife, Echidna, would be spared because she was a widow and had birthed many of monsters--Cerberus, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the list goes on--who may seek revenge on humanity for her death. Argos killed Echidna in her sleep. So killing Argos was hitting two birds with one stone. Io was freed and Echidna was avenged.

They named the red planet Mars, for the god of war. Neptun, for a far away, blue planet. Pluto, for a planet who's not exactly a planet, one which they are not sure if is in or not, just as pluto isn't really an olympian, or part of the main group. The only exception I know for this is Venus, as Venus and aphrodite were already associated with the morningstar since ages.

The gods didn't exactly 'grow up'--Hermes could formulate complex plans at hours old. They never had to change their mentality away from 'i get what i want'.

I kinda like the idea of a cow hauling ass all over the Mediterranean chartering ships, finding work as a cart hauler, and getting up to many cow based shananigans to escape a fury nobody else can see

Well this certainly explains why Hercules was such a badass considering he's got three doses of Zeus and a little bit of Poseidon in his family tree

Having only ever heard up until the "turned into a cow" part of Io's myth, the thing that surprises me most is that Zeus felt guilty at all given he seems to never do so in any other myths I've heard. This is especially surprising given Ovid's apparent antiauthoritarian bias. Huh.

i wouldn't wholeheartedly agree with you...? since i personally believe there is no one single definitive version of Medusa and as such with all characters in Greek Mythology. These figures have been constantly revised and evolved and each different versions of them are used for different themes and ideologies. For me and possibly many others, the 'Medusa with a tragic backstory' is represented as an icon to stand up against r*pe and SA towards women, basically a Feminist iconography. So saying "stop using it as a symbol to protest for your rights because it isn't historically accurate" sounds a little... shortsighted.

After seeing how even as a cow Io was still beloved, Hera frustratingly gave up and turned her back. The Egyptians, who saw their super cool divine cow suddenly turn into a woman, just went “This is fine” and continued to worship her!

What is this a reference to something?

Totally agreed about the "death of the author" concept being a limiting form of analysis. It's a useful lens to examine it with, but microscopes and jewellery toolkits have multiple lenses for a reason. Literary analysis should come with multiple lenses too! Also, it's a potentially harmful concept when you try to apply it in a non-academic setting when the author in question is not dead. Contributing to the wealth and status of horrible people who are still alive and able to exercise that wealth and power to be horrible is not okay because "death of the author" means the author doesn't matter, for two reasons: A: it's a literary analysis tool, not a general statement about the general appreciation of a book, B: often authors manage to fit their horribleness into their narratives, and if they're on the more clever end of the spectrum they can be pretty subtle about it, and C: contributing to the ability of a horrible person to harm other people is something you should be trying to prevent from an ethical perspective, regardless of if you're a Deontologist or Utilitarian or multiclassed between them.

@@Himark89 thing is, even without taking any mortals or mortal-bloided "members" into account, most of the Greek gods genuinely had no qualms with incest so long as it wasn't both literally and specifically that God's son/daughter/parent (that was generally where the line was drawn), part of why Zeus never made a pass at Artemis, the other reasons being the same as why the rest of the pantheon simply doesn't). Hell Hades married his niece (Persephone), Zeus and Hera were siblings (at least according to the version of the Chronos vs Zeus myth that I read back in highschool) and Aphrodite by being born from Oranos's castrated testes in the ocean pretty much makes her Zeus's aunt, and she's pretty much slept with almost all of the Pantheon. TL;DR: To say that their family has issues... is the understatement to end all understatements.

@@lordnul1708 " Zeus never made a pass at Artemis," I'm quite sure she'd shoot Zeus in the .... if he did

When you watch the Perseus video, and then watch this, you realize Red used Ovid's telling of Medusa, and now here she is years later correcting herself.

It's funny how Zeus spears 3 times in that one family tree, just to inject that little bit of godly blood into the bloodline every couple of generations.

I almost want to kiss you for pointing out that Ovid made his versions of the myths up. That guy just ain't reliable for several reasons, including the fact that his Metamorphosis books were literally written as propaganda for Julius Caesar’s deification, and his control over Rome was divinely sanctioned by the fact that he was a descendent of the goddess Venus. Ovid basically re-wrote and changed the ancient myths so that they’d match with the Roman gods; i.e. Mars (Ares) and Venus’ (Aphrodite) roles were increased, whereas chthonic gods roles were reduced. Among other things involving other gods, Ovid went as far to reduce Hades (or rather Pluto/Dis Pater/Orcus/shit-toI-of-other-names) to an elderly god of the riches below the earth and Persephone to a simpering maiden who was more concerned about her crushed flowers than the fact that she was being abducted. After Julius was assassinated and subsequently deified under Augustus, and following the entire Pax Augusta and the century-long rule of the house of Julii, Ovid became scripture. The mythology was an afterthought, Caesar and the deification of his descendants was the goal. --- The thing that people need to remember about the ancient Greco-Italians is that different cults had different traditions that were then looped in under the worship of the Theoi. Some stories were later changed for continuity, and many different things were said and believed about the many different characters.

Master Yoda I was referring to Julius Caesar's deification and divinely sanctioned ridership over Rome. But yes, Augustus had it written.

Many myths can be seen as propaganda between cities and civilization. I always thinkthat the story of Minotaur was something made up by Athenians for demonizing people of Crete like "They fed a monster with the flesh of our young people". (For every parallel Fascist or Stalinist propaganda, you earn a godwin point !)

Wow I genuinely thought that version of Medusa's was the main one, thanks for the lesson👍🏻

Would love if you did the story of Apollo's son Asclepius. One of the few times someone has the guts to snap back at Zeus after one of his typical jackass decisions.

I just wish people would remember Medusa's sisters more often. She had TWO! And they were immortal! Stop using Medusa in all your Greek mythology stories, and use them!

@@todddempsey1277 it's quite the opposite, because Medusa can turn people to stone, she is well known so people know about her more. Her sister, despite can't turn people to stone, they are immortal so heroes can't kill them. Thus, there can't be any myths about them.

I think the treatment of Arachne was justified, and way nicer than some of the things other godesses would have done. The punishment was irony, not death by quest, as Hera or Aphrodite tried to do multiple times.
