Rhaenyra Targaryen's Mythological Roots & Symbolism 🐗
Ойын-сауық
The third episode of House of the Dragon was a smorgasbord of mythological references; some pretty obvious, while others might come as a surprise. Join me to explore some of the original sources that inspired this episode, Second Of His Name, as well as the story of the Dance of the Dragons. #houseofthedragon #hotd

Rhaenerya and Daemon both being covered in blood were scenes meant to parallel each other, and show how similar they are while hinting at their future relationship. They did they same thing with Jon and Dany.

Lmao. No. It wasn't. Actually, the scenes and lines that were meant to parallel each other was Rhaeneya and Leynor both being super witty and insulting. They're both shown as close to the same age, both ride dragons, both show some BALLS by stepping up and killing some thing.

The White Hart scene was my favourite of this episode. Oh my word that was so beautifully filmed. It was also part of the GOT season 1 as Robert went out to hunt (not boar but the White Hart again after a sighting). To Robert (and Viserys it should be noted) the Hart was seen as a 'portent'. A kind of self-justification of their actions or for the Throne. Robert as usurper and Viserys as a justification of naming Rhaenyra. Neither find the Hart and the results speak for themselves. They do not understand it. The Harts appearance can be misleading however, as per Celtic mythology, it is a 'quest giver' NOT a justification of anything. It appeared and gazed at Rhaenyra but the interpretation is for Rhaenyra herself to work out. If she looks at it as simply being 'fit for the Throne' she's going to be in trouble.
All this destiny shown for Rhaynera in the show and hopefully the show takes her to a conclusion different from the one in the book. She deserves that
Rhaenyra also seems to have a pretty direct historical inspiration; namely Empress Matilda, the granddaughter of William the Conqueror, who was supposed to inherit the English throne but suffered an in-absentia coup by the Privy Council when the time came. Matilda herself was technically on the throne for a year, but the dispute was eventually resolved by having Matilda‘s son inherit the throne later, creating the Plantagenet line of Kings. That‘s a lot of parallels.
That was an awesome video Fey! Great parallels and watching your breakdowns is always a pleasure! Thanks for the content!

Great job, keep following the Valyrian Steel they are giving us clues that will continue to reveal secrets and have their own story within the story, think rings of power, also different swords and rings etc. (Valyrian steal) have more magical powers that we will discover. Each Valyrian steal weapon, ring etc. will reveal different powers some multiple powers like having a will to return to its rightful owner and only its blood line can access all its powers (Blood Magic). I do not believe this to be a stretch, Martin intended this, leaving puzzles in his stories and all the books will tie the secrets together.
