    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.

    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.

    You can read that in Nonnus Dionisyaca (maybe i mispronunced). There is the most complete version of the battle and includes a lot of characters. But Nonnus is literaly the last greek poet (V century after Christ) in the roman period so his story is not that well know.

    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'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.

    Greek gods are already fairly abstract and then you add literal concepts like darkness and victory and of course the screaming monster of snakes who wants to give Chaos a generous promotion in life.
