You did not try to attack Hestia or Hades btw. Zeus also is not a cheater just because yes, loving this much rapresented something of the ancient society: the chief god had of course as a lover of wisdom to be an experienced lover, as it was the feature of important anf intellectual men, strengthen also by the fact that the term philosopher just means "LOVER of knowledge". (Symposium backs me up) And yes, the greek gods are elevations of greater concepts of the greek world, but that doesn't mean spirituality must be absent by it, you talked about it with the tone of the one who watches the greeks as men who venerated just things they liked when this is not definitely the case: they just thought gods were related in their highness to things they thought were important.

It’s honestly hard for me to apprehend what you’re saying, so if you’d like to explain it a little better, I’m all ears. I did call them “gods,” and I never pretended they weren’t. While I don’t believe the folklore, I do believe in a spiritual side of life in which these spirits are manifest (not “on Olympus,” but they ran the Greek nation, per Deut. 32:8-9.) The gods here are reflections of the hearts of the Greeks at the time, for one will only reflect the character of their subjector.

Babe, stay awake, it's four hours long. 8⁠-⁠)

This has to be one of the best Greek mythology documentaries I have ever watched. I’m sure someone else already said it but this is the first time I have seen these stories weaved together in chronological order. Everything from the images to the background music was just perfect. Definitely subscribing, can’t wait for more!!!

The story are very similar to catholic religion, the curiosity of pandora to open the box, and the curiosity of eve to bite the apple, and the consequence are brings humanity to became mortal to have sickness or death. And zeus wants to vanish humanity by flood, which also similar to the bible of Noah's ark. was this coincident? Or the religion had copied the story from greek myths.

You’ll love the stories as told and read aloud by Stephen Fry. They’re on Audible. His ability to brought each character to life as well as teach the connections to words and ideas and places that we are familiar with today. It’s excellent.

⁠@@midnightkarasu There are parallel stories in most ancient cultures. Human experience, religion included, has common threads. Christianity is not the oldest religion and more modern religious leaders drew from whatever it took to teach and/or control the people before them. Look up religious syncretism. You’re not being clever. Look into comparative religion studies. Look into comparative mythology studies. Look into the history of Christianity from its inception. Not from subjective sources, but from the facts and events in history courses and materials.

I always thought Oedipus was just a Greek mythological character that was in love with his mother. This video paints a much more detailed picture. I guess for most of us Greek mythology has always been greatly simplified. Amazing video!

Wow these stories are AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for making this video. I especially like how you include artwork from history that was painted about the subject matter.

thank you so so much, I just now stumbled across this phenomenal video! this is for sure the best video for greek mythology! keep up your great work

I almost got emotional towards the end of the video. I watched it all two nights in a row and it felt like a movie, but without getting bored even a second. The quality of these videos is literally out of this world! Gotta thank you for all the effort you put into making this.

This is such great content. I chanced upon this as my 5 year old son is obsessed with space , planets and galaxies and so many have Greek names… and here I am truly fascinated. Love from India

I started the video thinking I was gonna stop watching in less than half an hour, then I finished the whole thing before I knew it. Really loved the ending and how it profoundly drew all the stories back to who and what we are right now.

@@kangkang1560 fyi it is stated that Greeks welcomed the christian religion when it first arived there, Christianity became the prominent religion throughout the age of the roman and byzantine empire and became even stronger when we were enslaved by the Turks and conservatism is holding it in place atm, despite that fact there are still some dodecatheists (the belief of the 12 Gods) but don't really show it, The orthodox church has huge economic, political and military power unfortunately due to old laws and beliefs so it's not very likely to ever come back

For people who truly never learned about Greek Mythology and this is their first introduction to it - this video has a lot of information but many myths havs various versions, which were not mentioned here. Obviously, if you mention all of them, the mythology grows more and more complicated but many events can be viewed diffrently, depening on the interpretations. While this video is certianly a good starting point for general knowledge, I would still look for other version to have more perspective. The complications of the mythologies and the conflicting retellings are all part of the fun ;)

Being a nerd when it comes to Greek mythology and always reading and watching videos about the subject, this video here is I'd say the best of the stories to date, well put together and a well dive into the mythology, my hats off to you good sir for such details and intensive research

I had been putting off reading about Greek Mythology since forever, but this video was the perfect introduction to it. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

This was an excellent story very well done kept me intrigued and fascinated through your entire video great job 👏

I love this docu so much! I finished it in one sitting and now I’m back watching it again because of how well done it is! Well done! Insane that this free

I was obsessed with Greek mythology in school and would read about it all the time but after a while of being out of school I haven't had any access to as many books about it so this is so cool to just recap everything I learned and learning details I missed as a kid

Not skipping a single ad so I can support this, I'm insanely grateful that this content is free, thank you, TLG. thank you.

Wow. Brilliant. Truly. Thank you so much for making this. This was an epic undertaking and this is the most coherent timeline of events created on the subject of mythology, even incorporating the foundation of Rome. The ending was perfect. I hope you intend to do something like this for other mythologies.

(Larry San Diego) My wife and I recently returned from a 10 Mediterranean Cruise and spent four days in Athens, Greece and your entire story on Greek Mythology was the most enjoyable three-hour experience in memory. Great Job!

Outstanding work. You're setting the bar for the rest of youtube creators to new heights.

Thank you! I’ve always wanted to learn Greek Mythology but it was never all in one place. This is amazing. ❤

Magnificent flow of speech. Warm voice. Straight forward script. Descriptive yet understanding vocabulary. I heard the whole thing while working on my computer, and being greek, this is the summary of the mythology of my ancestors i have had since reading the tomes of Kakridis. Terrific work my man! I am supporting the channel and your work. Please make all the mythologies egyptians, norse, ECT. I will be teaching english to my children with your videos

Always been fascinated with greek mythology as a teenager while learning some of the stories in my English class. Whenever we learned about greek mythology the class was never boring thats for sure. I loved the story about Odeseus in Homer’s the Odyssey amongst others. I learned alot in this documentary and just want to thank you for proving us all with this.

Thank you for this thorough documentary ❤

More videos like this one! Long-form videos are the bomb. Thanks so much for making this, and just like everyone else below, I've watched this a couple of times to get all the info and I really love it. Thank you and all the best! Cheers!

Srsly this is insane....better than most movies. I truly appreciate your hard work.

Greek Mythology has a unique appreciation for irony, metaphor, and poetic justice that other mythologies and religious stories almost always lack entirely. When reading Homer, it is clear that you are reading the works of a poet. Not a prophet, or a historian. It makes you wonder how the Greeks and Romans might have read these texts. Whether they took them literally, word for word. Or whether they viewed their gods more deistically, and were able to appreciate the works of Homer as works of art - just as we do today - rather than as works of historical or religious significance.

Truly excellent work ! Well written and well read ! Moved me to tears at times...

Incredible work. Can’t imagine the amount of time and effort it took to create this masterpiece. Also realizing that all the mythology is driven by greed, jealousy, and rage.

wow. i can't believe it. three hours of greek goodness. saving this for later. i really appreciate this.

i’ve always wanted to get into greek mythology and i never knew where to start, this video is insanely insightful. thank you

this is an absolute amazing piece of work! congratulations! Fantastic video, narration and ordering of greek mythology!

This is currently my all-time favorite video on KZread for the past 2 months (since upload). I have watched it numerous times & even a few times to fall asleep to. This was made so incredibly well.

I watched everything from beginning to end without a break, but watching once won’t be enough to catch all of the details. Thank you for making this video.

thank you so much for this ❤loved reading percy jackson while actually understanding where the myths derived from it's such a satisfying experience

I LOVED EVERY BIT OF THIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I just finished watching the entire video in one seat, and all I can say is that it is phenomenal! It's by far the best quality video about Greek mythology that there is (I loved the paintings as well). I can't believe that a work of such high quality and precision is given to us for free. Well done 👏🏻 PS After finishing the video I couldn’t get past the richness and beauty of Greek stories and culture: the relationships of men with gods and nature, the countless struggles often leading to great tragedies and the celebration of beauty and honor. What a rich and astonishing culture and what a magnificent way to look and interpret the cosmos !
