Reminded me of Speedwagon

One episode of Xena had an interesting twist on this one: A certain child was prophesied to take a king's throne, so the king's primary advisor tried to get is to happen so the advisor could then become the child's regent, and knock off the child king at some point. Xena intervenes, after some planning and violence, convinces the king to fulfill the prophecy, which the king is more than happy to do. He does this by marrying the boy's mother. The king has a wife and son, the kingdom has a queen and an heir. the prophecy in satisfied, and the advisor gets exiled I think. The prophecy will come true, because the child will take the king's throne., as his heir.

I wonder if they'll cover when Perseus meets Andromeda? That'll be great, as he helped her fight off a giant sea serpent sent to destroy her home island because her father bragged that his daughter was, "more beautiful than Poseiden's own daughters." Yeah, the Sea Nymphs weren't happy about that, raced to daddy dearest and he was, like most Gods would be, furious.

@@monicag.k.tambajong yep I think that one is the myth that Zeus wanted to help a city whose crops,fields and forests were completely dry for years. So he transformed himself into literally golden rain and poured down to the soil. Then plants started to grow and Zeus promised to the people that from now on they will have food, water and forests forever and he also taught them new methods to cultivate their crops better . So that also means that Zeus was also a kind and good (many times) god instead of that jackass you ALL think he was.

Fun fact about Hermes: As the god of travelers and boundaries, his name is derived from the word "herm," which meant "pile of standing rocks demarcating a road or path." Hermes' names directly translates to "Rocky."

The drawing got better. Idk how such amazing work could get any better, but it did!!!!

Oh my🤗🤗I love what you guys do.. . I an Greek and it means a lot to me that you pay attention to our mythology... Greek mythology has a huge impact on the world and it's the biggest part of Greece's culture.. Such a good job everyone. Thank you so much 👍

Perseus is honestly my favorite of the Greek heroes. Clash of the Titans was one of my first introductions to Greek mythology

Matt's humor this episode was exceptionally well timed. On some of the Game Design videos they can come out of nowhere or take too much time, but here they were well integrated and snappy. Great work!

I am LOVING this campfire story aesthetic going on. Please keep this for future episodes or similar aesthetics, like a bedtime story setting, etc. I'm so intrigued to see more interesting storytelling backgrounds. It adds a bit more mysticism to the stories.

I don't know where you get your information. But in Greece (or in my school at least) we were taught something different, first the myth was shorter and Perseus was helped simultaneously by Hermes and Athena, where Athena gave him her shield and Hermes gave him his flying sandals. Also we were taught that only Medussa had the ability to turn people into stone, the other gorgons just had the privilege of being immortal and hideous. P.S. Your series is very enjoyable keep it up.

Poor Medusa, she didn't deserve any of the things that happened to her!
