The idea of heracles being scared, let alone enough to run away and hide from someone, really just shows how much of a gigachad typhon was.

@@Tanystropheus10 the story of Typhon has no clear timeline. Sometimes is right after the Titanomachy, or before the age of heroes. While in Nonnus, it was during Cadmus life (he is some generations before Heracles and Oedipus). While in other versions it also includes Heracles as the ones that run from it. I prefer the versions without Heracles since he has no problem in helping the gods against several giants, so he being scared of Typhon is weird.
Typhon, Echidna and Tiamat should have a barbeque get-together, and discuss what being the parents of dragons, snakes and other monsters are like.

I always remember reading a version of this myth that when Typhon rose to destroy Olympus and the gods, Selene rode her moon chariot into battle against the storm giant. Having been an explanation the craters of the moon, were scars from said battle against Typhon. She was a diversion for Zeus being fixed up by Pan and Hermes from my understanding.

I once heard a version that while Zeus was pinned down with his muscle fibers ripped out and Pan and Hermes were putting him back together Ares tagged in and fought Typhon to buy the other gods time, and ive only heard that second hand do it definitely isn't academically sound but it's still a concept that goes very hard and finally has Ares use his infinite heart of violence to help everyone else out for once

In another video about this myth by SarcasticProductions I commented on a version of the myth which says that Ares assisted Hermes in rescuing Zeus. Ares was fighting Typhon so he can buy some time for Hermes to steal Zeus' tendons and free him. After Typhon's defeat, Zeus decided to award Ares with more important role as "god protector" instead of just a war God. This version of the myth is probably a way for the Greeks to explain why the Roman Mars was so important to them unlike Ares to Greeks.

I find it interesting that Typhon is restricted under Mt. Etna as an explanation for Volcanic eruptions, whilst Hephaestus is also used to explain them. And this is made all the more intriguing when you realize Hephaestus and Typhon have the same origin in some tellings, that being Hera’s sole immaculate conception. Hephaestus and Typhon same person confirmed???

Regarding the infrequent appearance of strictly ill-willed characters in Greek mythology... it honestly seems like Gaia herself is an evil Goddess. Her main trait is being a vindictive psycho who seeks vengeance for everything. And her main method of vengeance is through revolts and imprisonment. Kind of messed up ngl.

I'm of the opinion that Typhon is less of human like that usually depicted and is just a strait up eldrich abomination but Greek artists heard about it second hand and just assumed the base human template, because the themes of cosmic horror were not yet popularized. Outside of ancient Jews and their biblically accurate angels.

I'm familiar with a slightly different version of the story. Instead of Hermes and Pan, it was a hero named Cadmus that sabotaged Typhoon after Zeus's initial defeat. There, Cadmus disguised himself as a shepherd and played a panpipe which impressed Typhoon. He suggested to Cadmus that he could have any goddess as a wife when he took over Olympus-except for Hera. But Cadmus reclined the offer, instead saying that if Typhoon liked his pipe music, he would love his lire, but he needed a suitable string. So Typhoon handed him Zeus's sinews, which Cadmus hid away and distracted Typhoon some more with his music, giving Zeus time to recover. I like this story because it is such an interesting concept that a single human was the one who saved the mightiest god in peril. It's even more impressive when you consider that Cadmus's story was kick-started by him setting out for his missing sister Europa, who Zeus kidnapped for obvious reasons. Cadmus had every reason to resent Zeus, and promptly ignore his call for help, but he followed through without any complaints. As far as I know, the story is from Nonnus's Dionysiaca from 4~5th centuries, so it is probably not an OG Greek myth, but I still remember it fondly, and is one of the many reasons why Cadmus is my favorite Greek hero.
