Or Hera killed them off successfully, or maybe they never become popular enough to have a fairy tale about them. Like after a while being Zeus's kid became casual with how Zeus is. -" Oh, Mr. ......Analdreus, why should I hire you?" -"I'm the sound of ZEUS! (Dramatic music)" "And?" "I'm a demigod, and I can make lightning from my fingers" "Oh! Show me" " .........( 10 mins of giving the expression, and the sound of a really constipated man later) aha!" (Produce the smallest and cutest lightning spark possible) "Next!"

@@8bitutopia182 It's a bit strange but sometimes you can see glimpses of how they have actual chemistry. The Akihabara epilogue where she and Orion discuss Galatea is a good example.
"He crashed into her bedroom with a chariot, surrounded by lightning and also chucked a literal spear made of lightning at her. She died of fright." No, bestie. I think she got vaporized. You know, from having lightning thrown at her by a deity. Edit: this is in reference to the quote by Pseudo-Apollodorus, himself. I'm aware Jake added in that she was vaporized. Edit 2: Also, we know how Zeus "courted" Hera. And it wasn't like that. He had to trick her into marrying him, after he forced himself on her. He turned into a cuckoo and pretended to need help. She took him in her arms, he turned back and...yeah. She married him to avoid the shame of having lost her virginity out of marriage. It was a big deal, in Classical Greece and she was the goddess of marriage, after all.

Could you give a source for it? I remember the myth, but I don't remember the part of Zeus actually forcing himself on her. It wouldn't surprise me if it did happen though, but with the greeks having different conception of consent than us and leaving us with sometime lacking details, it can be hard to tell what's factually a r*pe committed by Zeus (Tricking Alcmene into thinking he was her husband) and what's just us interpreting it as such (Turning into a rain of gold to get into Danaë's cell and then... Maybe seducing her? Maybe Forcing himself on her?)
@acehardware2823

@Derkosson I doubt Zeus actually forced himself on Hera, and Hera felt shame for that because, contrary to what most people think, Zeus and Hera do care for each other.

I've always been partial to the theory that every greek city state would want their founder/hero king to have divine right to rule, and having their backstory involve Zeus being their father works better for that. After all, being the son of Hephaistos is cool, but doesn't make you uniquely qualified to be king (though you will probably have less hubris, tragedy, and murder in your life compared to the average Zeus offspring).
@cookieoutrage
Жыл бұрын
Those are somewhat true, since you can see that liniages of kingdoms where traced by divine rule, case and point Hercules with Thebes and the children of Harmonia as the Rulers of Sparta. However most of the other gods were more of an origin for the cult of their own worship than they were to justify the lineage of someone. That's why myths like the story of Apollo on Delphi and the myth of Demeter founding her cult are more widespread than say the lineage of the kings of micenea, Ithaca or other city states
@projekttaku1

yeah, its a very popular thing to have a ruler of a city or place be descend from a god, such as the emperor of japan.
A thing I would be especially interested in in a follow-up about this is the fact that the judges of the dead in the Underworld are all also sons of Zeus. Even in his own domain, Hades has to deal with his brother's shenanigans.
Since we’re on the subject of Zeus’ kids, the Theogony states that the nine Muses were children to Zeus and Mnemosyne, a video on them or including them in a part two would be pretty neat.

Angelos, Arges, Eleutheria, and Enyo are Hera's lesser known daughters. Sometimes Eris is said to be Zeus and Hera's daughter but more likely Nyx's daughters. But yeah overall Hera's kids are lesser known than the bastards especially since they are girls and wouldn't be able to inherit and both sons she produce are kind of inadequate in Zeus' eyes.
Fun fact: Zeus has 99 children. Hera is the mother of 4 of them. 52 are gods while 47 are demi-gods.

Zeus and Hera did have other lesser known kids like Angelos (Ancient Greek: Ἄγγελος) or Angelia (Ἀγγελία) who was a daughter, who became known as a chthonic deity. Her name means messenger.
6:10 For the record, in the original myths it's said that the reason Daphne hated Apollo was because Eros had struck her with a lead arrow of hate at the same time he'd struck Apollo with a golden arrow of love. So neither of them was really thinking during that whole adventure.

If you want a video idea, could you do a video on Apollo's earlier life? I think he's a really interesting god, and a video about just him would be awesome.
I always crack up everytime this series depiction of Artemis is shown having to converse with anyone because it just looks like shes barely restraining her urge to arrow them in the face....even when its a woman in labor XD

Fun fact: Holzkern is german and as german rends to do, the word is selve describtive. Holzkern can be split into 2 words: Holz and Kern. Holz means wood and kern means core. Therby the most literal translation of Holzkern is wood core. This name choice probaly stams from the fact that these watches are made out of wood

6:34 theory: the reason why Apollo replace Helios because of Zeus's arrogance and hatred of Titans. Helios sided with Zeus during the Titan war só unlike Pontus and Tarturus got replace by Poisendon and Hades respectually as Gods of Sea and Underword Helios was aloud to keep his Job but after Apollo Join the 12 Olimpus he got the fame as god of the Sun because he is the king of gods spoiled ritch kid. The reason is because those Hélios is like Gaia and Uranus he is the Sun plus Hélios beign the god of the Sun is Very important for two stories that beign the kidnaping of Persefone and the afair of Ares and Afrodite (all versions i read makes preaty clear it's Hélios) both of whitch happen with all 12 olimpian Gods (including Apollo) are in they place P.s Sorry for poor english
I hope it is not an April Fool's joke since it'll come out in April 1st
by the way in some versions of Herakles's birth Hera uses force to delay his birth and the next descendent of Perseus becoming king was was also her idea

Really digging Iris's tunic 🌈
Aphrodite feels like a glaring omission.
One of my favorite multinstoried gods are the three faced goddess and her mate or partner, the horned god. Theres evidence of them dating all the way back to ancient sumeria and similar mythologies show similar figures appearing in Greek, Druidic, and Nordic myth! A good example is the goddess Hecate and a mirror of her in Irish myth, the Morrigan!
It’s probably for the best we don’t know how many kids Zeus has, just more people to suffer Hera’s wrath. Great design on Hebe btw
Thank youuuu soo much
0:52 Interesting information: many themes and soundtracks from God of War greek saga took inspiration from this hymn (I'm talking about the lyrics) The first part very similar to the beginning of God Of War II main theme There are many references in "Glory of Sparta" soundtrack too and all of its variations
