Hesiod's Theogony - The Greek God Family Tree (partially) Animated
Hesiod's Theogony is a treasure trove for Greek Mythology enthusiasts. It outlines in great detail, both the origins of the forces of the universe as well as the gods that personify them. It's both a Theogony and a Cosmogony. However, reading it as a poem is a bit difficult if one lacks a diagrammatic representation of said family tree.
I have taken up the task of making just that.
This video aims to go through the poem, while slowly revealing almost the entire Greek God family tree.
For those of you who who want to double-check the math with anvil, here are the links:

----------------------------------------
I'm not perfect and unfortunately it shows in my video. But never fear!
I've included a list of the mistakes I made with timestamps:
At 25:36, I implied Cerberus had been killed as part of Heracles' 12th labour. This is untrue. he was actually captured by Heracles, then taken Eurystheus.
At 28:11, Consider Tethys to be the personification of the Mediterranean.
At 33:03, I gave Hera, Hestia and Demeter squares (implying that they are male) when in fact, they should have been circles (i.e. female).
At 40:05, I said, "this statue is wrong." The statue is actually right; I was wrong. I erroneously assumed that the sphere Atlas held was the earth when in fact it is a spherical representation of the Heavens, or sky. In the statue, Atlas is still technically holding the sky, we just have to pretend that the sky is a sphere.
If you spot any more factual errors, please let me know in the comments.

    I speak whenever I see fit. The Theogony of Hesiod is just another version of the Bible, only it’s about a different ancient god of mythology that Constantine didn’t use to unify Rome under one religion in the Fourth Century. The fact that millions of adults still believe in gods of mythology today, like the Hebrew god, is embarrassing. Fortunately nones are the fastest growing religion on the planet. I just can’t believe the ridiculous nonsense, known as religion, lasted as long as it did. Thank goodness for science. It’s like the modern day tree of knowledge, but without the talking snake asking, “how do you like them apples.”💪🍎😂

  • @lukeblahnik8644
    @lukeblahnik8644 Před měsícem

    I’ve read the manuscript, (available on Google), which was written between 750 and 700 BCE, before the bulk of the Old Testament was written, and it sounds just like the Bible. It’s filled with hymns and praises to Zeus, and other Greek gods, and crazy stories. There’s literally no difference, except the gods in this literature were Greek gods, and not Hebrew, and the crazy stories were a little bit different. There’s piles of other literature on ancient gods of mythology as well. The Shiva Purana is a good one, (also available on Google), and there’s many, many others. These gods are just as substantiated as the Hebrew god so many still worship today. The Hebrew god was only made popular amongst many Western cultures by Constantine in an effort to unify Rome, (using one religion). It was affirmative action, and apparently his sub-conscience told him it was the right decision in his dreams, (probably because he knew subconsciously Rome needed a religion that favored the poor at that time). It had absolutely nothing to do with evidence. It’s embarrassing how many people still worship a god of ancient mythology today with all the discoveries we’ve made, and advancements we’ve achieved. I’m glad religions are fading, but it’s shocking that they lasted this long, lol.

  • @hyperbitcoinizationpod

    For the monoglots: Hades and Thanatos, don't personify the same thing. It's because English doesn't discriminate between the two (i.e. only has one word, because it's culture is demythologized). Thanatos can be considered biological in-built death (result from senescence), where as Hades is death of higher (psychological) functions. From Hades you can return, from the other not. I.e. parts of psyche or ego can die off. Going to Hades can be a good thing. Perhaps he's misunderstood by superimposing the Christian mythos of Hell and Lucifer, who are are not embraced by Christians.
